Bummer
Last year just before thanksgiving day, my ex-boss called me to inform that he could not able to hire me as a full time employee due to financial constraints he had and asked me to look for other options. No big deal right?
However if we add constraints like need to find an visa sponsoring employer within 2 months, study expenditure, not willing to go back to previous boring job, no clue of where to head after graduation, the thought of kissing bankruptcy, then it would become tough.
Anyhow, I listened, smiled and said Thank you.
I was not afraid because I knew how to play the game. I was just skeptical whether I could make it within the time as holiday season was round the corner. Went downstairs, shared the news with the friends and then started to look for opportunities.
After XXX of applications,YY of calls and Z interviews, I got a job in less than 50 days. Awesome!!!
The biggest takeaway I learnt in last one year is that life pushes you into hurdles, you have to solve them and move on. Praying for not having the hurdles puts you away from reality. We should let go the assumption that "it" must happen the way we want.
Life can be tough, rough and cruel or it can be tough, rough and sweet.We should be ready for both.You never know what will happen around the corner.
PS:Every success appears inevitable in retrospect, but not while building it.
