Job hunting's easy ...5 years ago.

So... after I resigned, disposed a lot of stuff, and pondered on how my life will be next year, there's still one tiny thing to think of, before I move on to a totally new lifestyle: A JOB!

So how's the hunting? I'll end my work officially at the end of January, but since 3 weeks ago, I've been sending out resumes, being less and less picky each day (that's how it is, you become more and more desperate as you realize that job hunting's not easy? LOL). By now, I have 2 pending applications - 2 interviews, and 1 follow up interview all in all, then none again this week, till God knows when. See, gone are the days when you upload JUST ONE CV in Jobstreet, to get 5 calls in return, and around 3 great job offers within 2 weeks!

Now I'm worried, what if I'm hunting with hundreds or maybe thousands of competent IT job hunters? What if I've lost all skills? what if my credentials are not enough for the position and salary that I want? WHAT IF I'M ACTUALLY HUNTING AT THE WORST TIME OF THE INDUSTRY? what if... what if....? I've been asking these questions forever!

A friend working in an HR department said that I'm unreasonably worried, as interviews are rarely given this month due to christmas events, that "next month will be a better month, for sure". I really hope so! she said my pace is actually better compared to other IT job hunters --nice, encouraging actually, but stillll...

...OKAY, maybe I'm worrying too much, when in fact, I prayed for a long rest and a fun short-bumhood. (and bumhood hasn't even started! it's more than a month away from now!)

NOW I realize how much security we get from a stable job. I've never been so paranoid — in my entire work life!
