Job hunting.

Hello everyone!!

how are you? I hope things are going ok for you and that you are not too busy right now. I know that many people are now studying hard for their exams, and also many are busy with their jobs... but don't worry, take it easy and try to enjoy and get the best out of your day, every day... positive thinking it's called.

Like me... I consider myself right now "happily unemployed" isn't it good? Well, it really isn't but... it's better if you look at it from the positive side, and while I work hard everyday to send CVs and apply for funding or anything I think can be interesting, I always keep a smile in my face, that makes it easier.

Because my friends... this is my main activity in these days, search for a job... I work more than 8 hours a day sending CVs, filling applications, searching for information... and that takes an awful looooooot of time. But it is also very interesting, to see where there are possibilities to work, where the big companies are, new and emerging businesses... quite cool.

By now I have applied to so many places I don't even can count them all: Panasonic, Samsung, Raytheon, Atos Origin, Deloitte, Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens... and many more. And by now, the only two kinds of responses I got were: "Thank you very much for your application, if we don't get back to you in less than 4 weeks it means your CV has not been selected" or the other one (my favorite at the moment) "Although you have an outstanding CV, we regret to tell you that you were finally not considered for the position".

That last one is hilarious... "...outstanding CV..." if the CV is outstanding... why the hell you don't hire me? But well... you know, these human resources guys don't have the slightest idea on how to find talent, I swear. But anyway, it is funny to think in the possibility that I could finally be selected by one of these companies to go to any of the places I have applied to... take notes.

I have applied to places like the U.K, Germany, France, Romania, Sweden, Canada, USA... and the best ones: Guatemala, South Korea, and the Caribbean... the Caribbean... I don't even mind if I have to work cleaning the office or preparing coffees, but no matter how bad the work was... it's the Caribbean. You see, two pictures appear in my mind: the green fields of the rainy Ireland, and the sunny beaches of the Caribbean... you know... Ireland is so nice but...

And also I have been doing some research on possible funding I could obtain to do a masters in business or technology, to complement my degree in telecommunications. There are a couple of possibilities and I think I could be accepted for a master, but it is going to be quite hard to get funding... anyway I am going to try just in case, who knows?

And if I got accepted... imagine, I would be studying subjects and involved in courses AGAIN... do I really want to do it after having finished my degree just a couple of months ago? I don't know, but if it's something related with business, I am really interested in it, so I think it would be very good for me. A new experience, that would be the main thing.

So those are the possibilities I am facing at the moment. I don't know what will be the final path I will choose, but I will let you know. Anyhow, it is very interesting to have so many possibilities, I can choose from many options, that look very exciting and that will take me to different places where my life can greatly change... isn't it exciting?

I am sure there will be great things to come, sooner or later, so stay tuned!!!!

All the best!
