Job hunt

So I'm done with school. Results will be out online by the first week of June. NAFA will only mail out the results around mid of June. And graduation will be on the 26th of September, Saturday, which both of my parents are going to come down for. It's cute to see my mom getting super excited for my graduation. 

Truth be told, never in a million years would I have thought that I will get a Degree at all. I actually paid for my own Diploma and my own Degree. If anybody had told me this piece of news when I was 18, I will definitely have not believe them at all. I'm proud of myself for getting this far in life having the support of both my parents, siblings, close friends and relatives. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

19 jobs applied so far. I guess after I have gotten a degree, I realized that I need to be really careful with the type of job that I am searching for. I am about to build a career for myself. I can no longer afford to just grab any random jobs and be content with it. I did paid for my own studies, I have to find a job that is relevant to my area of studies. It's going to be hard but I'm hopeful about it. I have to be hopeful about it. I need to be hopeful about it. I will be hopeful about it.

I'm really hoping, wishing and praying that I will get an interview for the position of Overseas Singaporean Liaison with the National Population & Talent Division Board, which will be base in New York City. The job is pretty much liaising with Singaporeans who are living, working, studying or visiting New York, to instill the patriotic feeling of being a Singaporeans to these group of people. To celebrate Singapore holidays with these people in NYC. It pretty much a middle man job to liaise with these people with the officials in Singapore should anything happen to them while they are in NYC. It looks challenging and it feels like it's going to be a huge challenge but I feel that I really need this job. A fresh start overseas, working in a new environment, learning to be independent and more discipline. I will get to expand my network overseas and start to slowly save up for my Masters.

In Shaa' Allah, I will graduate with First Class Honours and get the Best Graduate Award. Amin.
