How will you handle being unemployed in the midst of a deep global recession?
I have been actively looking for a job for the past two months but to no avail. I already sent my resume to all known jobhunters in Tokyo but it seemed that my experiences were not capable of landing to a just and right job. It is disheartening when you fail so many times. I have two job interviews today but I am still not sure of its outcome. The first interview requires a technical skill that I am not yet aware of. And the second interview give a good hand on my technical and professional background, though a confused look on my Japanese proficiency. Yeah I know. I have to assess and look deeply inside me to check the things I am missing. I am in Japan and it is natural for me to study Nihongo and be conversant at least. I am learning. Really trying to learn.
Looking deeply into it, I know in these times, employers are trying to get the best out of evey possible job applicant. Since there are several unemployed like me, the competition has become at its steepest.
I don’t know now what lies ahead. I tried my best. And still it seems not to work.
Probably I should admit that it just doesn’t fit now. Probably it is just I am trying to put in a different piece to a puzzle. And probably I should just stop trying, and try learning to wait. How will you have patience when all things are not working properly? And I am already almost near to my deadline.
I don’t want to say sayonara to Tokyo yet. I am not yet prepared to go home and land on the same situation and face a grimmer face of reality.
Discouraging. Disheartening. Depressing.
