The Role of Faith in My Job Search Success

Published by Kima Rodriguez

Life is full of unpredictable events and scenarios. I can’t tell why everything happened, but I know it is God’s will. Now I am writing because I have good news. As you can see in the picture, I received my employment ID. EMPLOYMENT ID!! 🤗 I am sharing with you that I have finally been hired and started working at Booky! I didn’t expect this to happen in my life. But with God’s plan and blessing, I knew this was all he wanted for me. When I got laid off, I cried and cried and thought, what if no company would accept me? What if I am unemployed forever? I started hating myself at that time, but things changed. I saw the job posting and wondered whether I should apply or just let it go. Thankfully, I did! Backstory My heart leaped when I received a call from HR about my initial interview schedule. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, especially since I was still in a somewhat sorrowful state of mind. During …

Usernames

Have you experienced difficulty in maintaining a brand identity specifically a personal brand? I always want to have my brand using my name, yet I suck at it. I want to use my name, but the universe doesn’t allow me because almost all my name combinations are taken. My name is common, and there is also a local artist who has the same name as mine. I have decided to stick to one username where all social media platforms are available, and free to open an account for that username. In this case, it is easier to build my brand with just one username for all platforms. I’ve faced this struggle like I don’t know if I should create a business name or somewhat unique without my name on it. But as someone who wants to have a personal brand to grow my career and to meet new people in the industry is all that I wanted. @kimarodri for Instagram, Twitter, Behance, and TikTok

Do you believe that if you never stop thinking and continuously trust the process, something destined for you will come? Something that you’ve always waited for? I never give up. I always wake up each day and face the reality of my life. Someone who doesn’t have that significant achievement yet. Someone who is still finding the right way to see the light. I feel lost and don’t have a clear idea of what my mission is in this life. Time is running, the face is wrinkling, and the breath is weakening. I was so down last month. Something about 28? Feb 28, to be specific! Well, I don’t know what’s with 28, and I keep seeing it anywhere. But here is the funny and miraculous thing. Last month exactly February 28, I posted about rejections from different job opportunities I applied for. Since I’m a career shifter and the competition is high, I am slowly losing hope and wanting to stop trying – that feeling of questioning my knowledge and whole self. But every time …

This is my keyboard.

I applied and got rejected, and it’s okay.

My favorite month is about to end; whether I like it or not, I can’t do anything but accept and go with the flow of life. I’ve been surviving 2023 with a growth mindset; however, pressure kills my vibe. Looking back when 2023 just came in, but now the second month of 2023 is about to end, it hit me how time changes so fast. Why so fast? I’m scared that I might end up accomplishing nothing this year. I’m afraid that I won’t finish all my goals. Monthly check I’m starting a monthly check, and it’s the overall achievement and accomplishments I’ve made this month. I want to help myself to stay on track. I believe with this kind of mentality and accountability, I can realign my goals and system. This monthly check is the only way I can help myself by doing my best and becoming consistent in my agendas. Job hunting Since I finished my Google UX Specialization, I started to build up my portfolio using Behance and updated my resume. I …
