Are you satisfied with your current job?
-
Well, I still can't find my goals in life. I don't know where my interests lies? I just graduate from poly last year and has been searching for my interest for almost a year but I still don't know what I want...
Do you feel happy or satisfied with what you are doing? -
i bet you are not the only one. most people work to sustain livelihood, not interest.
-
i also dunno what i want.... moreover i graduated in 2001.
-
No definitely not.. I am not doing the things that I was trained to do for my current attachment...
-
I know what i want but the problem is .......... is very hard for u to find a job that match with yr interest
-
i got my interest. but lack money to start a biz abt it. can anyone lend me $20k
-
Haha....you're definitely not alone. I started working looooong time ago...and till today, I still don't know what I want. I have a feeling that even by the time I retire, I won't know what I want.
The best is just take it easy and at the end of the month, when you go to the ATM and press those keys....got money come out. -

You can try writing unsolicited - ie. when you see a company you want, just write to them. Its a long shot, but with e-mails nowadays, its free to send as many as you want. Chances are slim, but who knows...?Originally posted by newcomer:are there other methods of looking for a job apart from newspaper, internet, recruiment agencies and friends?
By the way....yes, I did get my current job this way. -
wait to be headhunted loh

Well, I do things to distract myself from the monotony of life (eg. hobbies, etc)....I guess a by-product of that is that it does make me happier.Originally posted by cookies n cream:Ya lor... I feel I have aged by counting down each day.. What do you do to make your life more happy?
Still, there are some weeks in my life when I live day to day....just looking forward to the next big event, which can be as trivial as a buffet meal (I love eating). And there are other times when I feel I'm the luckiest person in the world.
I'm the one who should be feeling old compared with you. For me, it seems that somebody pressed the fast-forward button after 21....and the years just flewpast. Judging from your profile, I think you're too young to be having mid-life crisis .....so take it easy and just go with the flow, and enjoy life while you still have it.

can u send me a sample of your letters?Originally posted by gentlerock:You can try writing unsolicited - ie. when you see a company you want, just write to them. Its a long shot, but with e-mails nowadays, its free to send as many as you want. Chances are slim, but who knows...?

I don't have the letters anymore. But even if I did, it would be too personal to reveal, I think.Originally posted by newcomer:can u send me a sample of your letters?
Basically, I just saw their website on the internet....wrote an e-mail asking them if they have any plans to cover Asia, told them of my experiences, attached my resume, etc.
They contacted me within a week and we worked our way to my employment. -
genius

9 out of 10 ppl who work are not happy with their current job.
The only 1 who is happy is your boss. -

Me young?? I think if you were to know my age, you will know that I am not young anymore..Originally posted by gentlerock:Well, I do things to distract myself from the monotony of life (eg. hobbies, etc)....I guess a by-product of that is that it does make me happier.

Judging from the way you write, i think you must be holding rather high position in your company... -
Ya, i think thats pretty true... Its only when one becomes the boss, he will be able to control the management.. and small fry like me will suffer in his hands...Originally posted by vroomvroom:9 out of 10 ppl who work are not happy with their current job.
The only 1 who is happy is your boss.
