Today’s the due date for plenty of firms hiring graduates for 2005/2006, and frankly, I’m glad that today’s the day. I’ve applied for the firms I’m interested in working for and it is one tedious exercise. However, like all things, even job applications have a learning curve. There are certain recurring elements and you get the hang of it over time.

It has been a long time of transition for me. Since my graduation, I’ve been doing odd jobs and earning a small income to pay for the rent and to feed myself of course. I’ve been reading about similar experiences by people like me and they can be unemployed for 6 months up to a year. Everyone says to be patient and keep at it as you’ll ultimately find a job sooner or later. Heh, I’d agree on being optimistic about job opportunities and keep trying until I can knock on a door that will invite me in.

Was just thinking how much time has gone by already. It’s already the end of March and the onset of winter can be felt. The days are getting shorter and colder, and I dislike either elements. Heh, you’d think after being here for 6 years you’d get used to it. Heh, I probably deal with it better these days, but I still don’t like it.
