I've been looking for a job actively for the past week, but to no avail. Somehow i question my self worth and saw the urgency to update my portfolio. Almost 1 year and i haven added a new piece of work? Tat's shameful.
Last week someone stunned me with a question. "What is the current advertising trend?" I was thrown off the edge. I'm not sure how to answer that and i've been looking for some answers.. Google has been a great pal of mine.. Gave me some answers. Bagged a few magazines to update myself on the trends as well..
So.. I realised the more i learn, e more i realise how little i know. No wonder learning is a life long journey.. It's exciting though! I'm looking forward to a new working environment, leave my comfort zone and i hope 2007 be really fruitful. I feel positive cos i guess i procrastinate less now. Well still procrastinating.. but i'm making improvements!
Finally realised it really isn't easy looking for a job. It's funny cos when i look back, it seems all previous jobs i landed myself on were either by chance, or by recommendation by friends. I must take the chance to thank those who believed in me and gave me jobs without even making me go through the pains of writing cover letters and customising my CV for every application i make. So job hunting is this tough and i never really knew?? Oh man.. to think i've been working for the past almost 4 yrs, with an agency or as a freelance..
After vetting through an advertising mag, i'm excited about going back to my line of work again. I'm glad i haven lost the passion. But i do see i have alot to learn, and i really look forward to a chance to be presented to me. Somehow i am right about the advertising scene in thailand. Indeed it's catching up. I've been saying i might wanna give it a shot working there. But the time is not ripe yet. Like my classmate austin, i'm so looking forward to graduation so that we can kickstart an all different career from there..
