Received an email from school to do this Graduate Employment Survey conducted by Nexus.

Came to this question:

44a. What are the challenges/difficulties faced in looking for a job?

1) Being rejected in job interview

2) Job offer does not have much potential

3) Salary offered is not good enough

4) Others (please specify in the next page)

(can't remember the exact wording, but it went something like that la)

I chose option 4 because I realized something. Which led to question 44b.

44b. State the challenges/difficulties faced in looking for a job.

Fear of own lack of academic achievements.

What I realized was that what I was afraid of was not any of the 3 options. But my lack of academic achievements prevented me from kick-starting my job search earlier. But God was very patient with me. His timing is the most perfect, it's never too early or too late unlike what all those accusations from Mr S.A. Tan claimed to be. I wouldn't say that everything has been smooth in my job search because it can never be. From the preparation of resumes to the buying of office wear, there are many things that can go wrong and will go wrong. Most of all, I worried and became anxious easily about the moment that the company would call/email to tell me if they wanted to hire me. But there was no use worrying. All you can do is to hand it over to God, to commit every worry into His hands, and just simply let His assurance flow into your heart.

AND,

There was not even one REJECTION. Instead, 1 call and 2 emails (didn't come altogether la) to inform me of 3 job offers! Praise the LORD!! Not that my significance is found in the approval of man but praise Him that I've found victory! Against every accusation of failure, realizing that God is not looking for intelligent people, but people who are bold for Him, people who are available for Him.
