Guys, remember the presentation/ interview I went for last week? I got the job!! o(≧∇≦)o It’s a curatorial internship at a small non-profit arts organisation. I’m not sure about the chances of becoming a permanent hire, but it’s a start, and I’m thankful.
To other job-seeking Beanies out there, it’s tough but hang in there. Rest up, search around, and don’t be afraid to talk to acquaintances about their work. You never know where a simple conversation may lead you, so keep an open mind.
Most of all, never let the rejections make you believe you’re less worthy than you are. Even if you lack formal work experience, you surely have qualities and other experiences that you can capitalise on. You just need to find them in unexpected places, and practise putting them in words. Believe in that, and you’ll be able to convince a prospective employer eventually.
Passing on the luck that other Beanies wished me to you guys! 💙
Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll love it and learn a lot, and it sounds like an awesome opportunity.
(And you’re right about never knowing what could land you a job — sometimes it’s just taking a chance on a glimmer of a hope from a simple conversation. Connections pop up everywhere.)
Thank you ^^ And thank you for always being on hand to welcome newbies, and deliver congratulations to us Beanies for levelling up here or in real life!
Thank you for the sweet words, isa! I’m so happy that you’ve got a job you enjoy now, and everything else is falling into place (though I’m sure it’s because you’re working really hard fixing it, too, so it’s not just by chance like the expression suggests). I haven’t been checking the fanwall that often, but I remember it’s been a rough couple of months for you.
Thank you, congrats on/ good luck with your new workplace too! (We be adults. Who cope with life through watching dramas ✌️) Maybe you’ll find a fellow Kdrama-lover 😀
