Today was my first day at my new job! I was excited and nervous because I met many new people, stepped into a new environment, and experienced a different work culture. It was a significant change, but I looked forward to learning and growing in this new chapter. I still can’t believe that I have a new job. This is truly a blessing from God. I am nothing without Him, and that’s why I am so grateful. I will do my best to grow, learn, contribute, and enjoy this new journey. Another unexpected but pleasant surprise—I got my new laptop! I was already planning to buy one because my current laptop is slowly approaching the end. However, the company provided a brand-new laptop, and I’m so amazed because I didn’t expect it immediately. Even better, it comes with the operating system I’m most comfortable with, making the transition even smoother. Another challenging part now is mastering the Microsoft Workspace and other tools. But with the power of the internet, everything is now at our fingertips. …

Today is an important day for me. I will never forget this day and cherish it for the rest of my life! Backstory I started transitioning my career during the pandemic while managing my family business. I researched and upskilled. My dream is to work in tech. Work from home with your PC/laptop and working. It’s fun and exciting because I came from a working environment that needs to be physically present, shifting, and do over time. At first, I was ok with it, but I knew this was not what I wanted. That’s the reason I pursue my dream job. I know it’s risky because I need to start from scratch again, but it’s ok. I know I can do this! When I was in high school, I was sure that I wanted a computer career. I love computers! That’s my favourite subject and the organization I joined back then. We call our group “Charle’s Babbage Club.” I don’t know. It sounds weird now, but back then, it was awesome, hahaha. Challenges After graduation, …

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 …

One month later

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 …
