    Hire Me, Please!
    Posted in Career, Concerts

    So, I’m still jobless. Over the past week, I’d been applying for jobs that are mostly in the design/media categories, as well as one at Sentosa. Sadly, I’ve yet to hear from any. I suppose I could apply to more, but it’s my belief to love what I’m doing so as to excel. After three years in a design college, I truly feel… insufficient. Yes, even after three years of design education. I’d never be able to survive in the design industry as a graphic designer. I… feel no inspiration, when designing something that isn’t for myself. I usually do impromptu web layouts. When I like it, how I like it. To me, a deadline is a restriction of creativity. Sure, the challenge is there, but my inspiration is not. And when my inspiration is not there, I fail to produce something I would actually be proud to call my own work.

    I had always dreamt of being a journalist. However, my dreams were dashed when I failed to produce more than outstanding results in my GCE ‘O’ Levels. With only 5 credits instead of the 6 that I had to get to be able to be considered into the Mass Communication diploma courses of any polytechnic, I ended up trying out for a private design college. And you already know what I think of that as my future.

    I’ve not given up hope that someday I’d be a great journalist, or at least part of a great behind-the-scenes team. I’ve applied for jobs as almost anything I’m qualified for, at Singapore’s largest media broadcaster, MediaCorp. Hopefully I’d get called for an interview. Fingers crossed! :D

    On a brighter note, whether or not you’re going to Warped Tour, please take the time to vote for Anberlin so that they may play for 10 minutes longer!

      Good luck finding a job. I know it can be hard sometimes but keep applying and keep calling to check up on your application. I’m not sure what your situation is but you might want to find something (anything!) for a while to have money while you are looking for your dream job. Very best of luck to you,
