Select the "Change Job" Option

[Like my other posts, this is a diary. I do not mean to argue, nor offend, just saying. Also, I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE PHOTOS. I can claim that I did play these games and watched the show though. Credit for the photos goes to whoever owns them originally. ]

Ah, how the games these days (and before) show switching jobs so easy. Be it the early days of Square Enix's (or Squaresoft's) Final Fantasy series, or the slightly more complicated Tactics Ogre series by Quest, changing jobs by simply going to the game menu.Whether you've mastered something or not, It'll show your performance without any paperwork necessary. Heck, there's not one interview process here, just cute little characters and their nice pixels, wether grayed-out or not shown, every job can be unlocked and mastered simply by getting experience from it. Unlocking more is usually better. How easy would getting jobs if it was as simple as this?

Flick that scroll and choose the one you like...It looks so damn easy here

Ain't that just dandy. Well reality isn't very nice. Switching jobs is just as hard as looking for one. Why am I saying this, you ask? Well, let's just say I'm not enjoying what I'm doing. And when you don't like what you're doing, what I suggest you do is this:

Aim for something you want to do.

You ain't gonna do well on something you don't like. But you won't know until you've actually tried to go there. To be honest, I already knew my previous line of work was stressful and...challenging, but it was a half-good, half-bad experience for me. What I expected was a whole lot more, but I guess I didn't persevere there. I heard a whole lot of complaints, but for the most part, I did enjoy the ride to get there. I'd even say that it was one heck of a ride, but like I said, I want more than what I felt there. Basically, I don't want get stuck on something that you do just for money. Love your work, Love your pay, and Love your time.

I thank and appreciate all that my previous company has given me.

 Moving on, "where do we find jobs...?" That's pretty simple damn complicated. You got three choices (as far as I know. Do tell me if there are other ways.). For starters, you can walk-in and apply. Simple. Then the interview starts (if you get in). Second one is through job ads on the net. Now I'm not gonna name any here, since I'm not paid for advertising I don't want to give any names, so you gotta put your back into it and search, search, search!

The last one is kinda tricky, since the last one actually looks at your stats while at work. Here in our country (Philippines), we call that "getting pirated". This means another company gives you the offer, with better pay and/or benefits. You must be preeeeeety good to get this one.

"Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Why the heck are you babbling about? shouldn't you have a goal?" Basically, what I did wrong was this: I didn't exactly plan on my future. What I want to do and what I need to do are quite...different. Whether it was during my high school days or college days, I didn't actually "aim" for something. But what I want you, dear reader, to know (or apply) that one of my real goals is this:

Aim for something you really want, not what others want you to do.

With this in mind, dear reader, what are your plans for YOUR future? Or if you're already enjoying what you do, mind sharing some thought about work?
