A new beginning

Hello, corporate world.

Finally signed and had my fate sealed in the contract. It was a good two months of unemployment and bumming around, being free like a bird after my last academic exams and having the liberty of time to chill and spend quality time with myself, family and friends. There was a slight regret of not being able to go on a "graduation trip" like everyone else, despite already having my fair share of traveling and fun during exchange. Then again, I knew that if I were to go for a short trip, I would probably be worrying about getting employed at the back of my mind, which would defeat the purpose of traveling!

Anyway, I can never be more grateful that this job search has come to an end. The anxiety and frustration of not getting any calls for interviews after sending in countless applications is something I wouldn't want to experience anytime soon again. The job hunting process has taught me one thing: It's damn important to have the right contacts to tap into. Onto a more positive outlook, I'm ready and looking forward to my first day of work at my first job next week! Cheers to pencil skirts, high heels and anything that spells c-o-r-p-o-r-a-t-e!
