As I told you, I’ve been suffering from finding a job here in Sydney since I came here. Due to my visa condition, it’ hasn’t been easy to do so at all, however, things are looking up. I finally managed to find a job, I got two jobs to be precise.
After a long string of bad luck, I finally got a lucky break. How did this miracle happen? After all, it is connections that helps you out with finding out a good job.
The other day, I told my teacher how miserable my life had been in Sydney. He took pity on me, then introduced me to his friend who owns a restaurant. I went for a job interview there in no time, though, the prospect wasn’t good, so I changed to a strategy of asking my classmate whether or not, I could take over his post, since he was leaving in a coulpe of weeks for his country.
I couldn’t get any answer from both jobs for a while, however, a few week later all of sudden my phone rang. The both offered me twice as much money as I get from my current job. I was determined to take the two jobs, considering all the effort put into and I couldn’t be merrier!
This is not the end of a story. I had been pretty excited to go on to work there until my flatmate told me she got much better job than me. I got the sense of jealousy towards her and what comes to mind was a thought that I could have found a better job than her. As the old saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side.
I had evaluated myself, the good thing about me was that I’m not the kind of person who is easily satisfied with themselves, even thought of complacency as my enemy. But this time, however, I had to re-evaluate myself. What I had learned from this lesson was that it’s ok to compromise in life. I can’t expect to be better all the time. I should count myself lucky to find a job, and more than anything, I don’t want to go through hard time again!!
