Future

Am starting to think that everything is too easy at the moment, hardest thing for me to do right now is going to be to make it through the next 3 months here given that alternatives of being free seem so promising, first of all I have incentive to stay for at least one year (until october) based on the fact that I will be able to leave without having to pay back associated costs of bringing me over here. Second issue being related to a visa, given that leaving might force me into a situation of no visa. Reasons to stay at this point would involve being able to have something good on my resume, along with having something to occupy my time with on a daily basis and a source of income.

Second issue is just involved with getting back into habits of running in order to force myself on to a positive track, not get pulled down by general negative thoughts etc. Third being that I am going to have to start digging really deep for different ‘job’ opportunities and possibilities, the recent interview I had didn’t work out, so I’m going to have to push for more. Unfortunately, it seems that the majority of the interviews that I’ve gotten here have been through headhunters who have come into contact with my resume, or the same initial headhunter who came here, so one goal that I have would be to go out and find a way to get direct contact with companies etc themselves rather than having to rely on a third party. So basically a main goal at the moment is to try to get more interviews, along with trying to figure out how to impress the interviewers into hiring me. In my first recent interview in a long time, they told me that I seemed tired, unenergetic, and perhaps impatient, so I am going to have to work on ways of pushing those levels up in order to appear more compatible on the surface. Obviously I can’t change my personality 100% to fit a job, but I can do my best to improve in certain areas or ready myself to get closer to the jobs that I want. I also think that one challenging issue is in taking what you have on your resume, and twisting it to a degree that companies will be attracted by. I mean you can say things in a downright honest way, or you can try to sugar-coat them in a positive light, although you may be taking a risk that they will see through your ploy, on the other hand it seems that a lot of the time, these ploys turn out to work for people, so maybe the best thing is to keep up a certain sugarcoating to attract companies. Obviously there has to be a degree of honesty or reality in any undertaking, but maybe the skill to be energetic, and sugar coat in itself is more useful than others, especially when combined with a degree of other skills.
