HE HAS GREAT PLANS, I KNOW

So far, my resume's seventy percent done, lol...still had to do a couple of edits and I could already have it printed. But, I got lazy this late afternoon. I couldn't stand long hours in front of the laptop, always thinking aside of how much energy I'd consume just surfing the internet.

I visited my Yahoo mail and surprised myself with a huge number of e-mails from JobsDB. I got hundreds of notifications regarding job hiring related to my field. I browsed IPAMS website again, trying if there would be any job hiring for cabin crew position. And yeah! There was one. Qatar Airways would be having a Female Open-Day Cabin Crew Recruitment Campaign on the 19th of March 2011. Unfortunately, it would be held in Cebu. And to add to this bad news for me, their minimum age requirement is 23 years old. 

Emirates Airlines, too, have their Open Days and Global Assessment Days. Unfortunately, Philippines was not included in their venues.

Seems that these announcements were not for me yet. Sometimes,  I get frustrated because we knew some of our friends would be landing a job after our graduation. One of my classmates got accepted and currently undergoing training as a flight attendant in Cebu Pacific. Another friend of mine was absorbed in a private air transport company she attended to for her OJT. What about me? Hmmm..They always tell me not to be in a hurry. Yes. I'm not. I was just preparing myself. While finishing my training at the airport, I just spend some of my time preparing my CV, browsing the internet for job hiring, etc. I also think about other options for work. Almost everyone knew that I wanted to work at once to be able to support my family. I have many plans for them.

However, there are many "what ifs" in my head as I ponder over this matter. What if no company would accept me? What if I got accepted in the position I long for, and failed to reach the expectations? The second "what if" bothers me because it speaks of my career path. Even though I long for the position of a cabin crew, at this moment I still consider finding a job that I would gain experience first. Probably, an office job basically..so that I would get myself familiar with the workplace first. I'm not really ready to work yet like going to different places..and I still can't imagine living independently, far away from my family. Of course, I'll undergo several trainings if ever God gave me that wonderful opportunity, but somehow I have a fear of getting out of my comfort zone. I mean, I'm not yet ready for these things.

Despite these fears, I know God has great plans for me. It's not just my time yet if . I wanted to work for my family. I wanted to have a good career. And I believe God prepared me the perfect career path. I'm just excited at the next thing God will do in my life. I'm waiting for His blessings. :)
