The grass isn't always greener on the other side......

My week went by quickly perhaps because I have been very precise with my online applications for work....I get rejection letter after rejection letter...which normally discourages me or diminishes my drive somewhat, but I am pretty up beat despite all the emails I have been getting in response to my application....I think there isn't a nice way of saying..sorry but you're just not good enough for this position....or we prefer a local...or sometimes it has more to do with specific requirements that have not been met.In the past few months of relentlessly bothering recruitment agencies and companies in Auckland I had called up Advanced Personnel, a company in South Auckland that was recommended by a relative.Talked to a friendly voice..finally! I have to call back next week in order to be registered...once that is done,I wait..some more.I don't want to wait any longer than I have already so I've been going through the hundreds of jobs advertised online hoping to find my golden goose egg....This has been ridiculous because I know I could be making more money in my home country.Something inside me tells me to stick around and look around....so despite the gloomy outlook, I am persisting with my positivity.....hoping that something goes right when everything seems wrong!

I am determined to do my best to find work in my field of study but I will probably have to work in "other capacities" until I find suitable work.I have always believed in hard work and I have always tried to give my customers the best.....I am posting a primary goal of getting employment and a secondary goal of getting employment in my field of study. Its a little late for a resolution but the new year does look promising even if it has been my worst year yet.

Hope it all goes well...here's to a fabulous 2010! :D
