Career Shift

For the past couple of weeks, I have been searching the net almost non-stop  looking for a job where I can earn money and at the same time find a new way to use my skills.

I came across several blogging sites where I have learned so much from people all over the world sharing their experiences, expertise and day to day challenges. I am not the type who is very good in writing but I was challenged to create my own blog and start doing something that I may be good at. 

There are days when all I want to do is express my feelings through my notebooks (I have several that I use all at the same time!), my word document and by sending text messages to my cellular phone just to give me comfort when times are hard. It certainly works and uplifts my spirit.

There are countless ways to earn money, I have tried some over the years and somehow I can say that I gained loads of experiences from people I worked with and from my own personal experiences. Corporate exposure is a big advantage although now I do not see any company becoming interested in my resume. Probably because I do not stay in one single job for more than 2 years. That is due to several reasons resulting from my idealism. I am not good in office politics, most certainly after work. My goal is clear - to earn for my family. Most of the time, I offer help to my co-workers whenever I finish my job before the set deadline. Some appreciate it but others don't.

Now, my goal is to earn in whatever way possible. I don't mind accomplishing tasks like typing, data encoding or even writing for other people.... if those kind of jobs will give me the results I want.

I used to manage people and handle multiple jobs. I am used to those types of challenges, but then again, no one I guess will dare give me the opportunity. Age is of value to most people and loyalty to the company. Right now, age and loyalty are not my allies. I am in my forties and as I have said, I never stayed for more than 2 years in each Company I worked for.

Oh well, it is really time to have a career change where age and office politics will not become humps to becoming successful again in the job I will soon explore.

Luck will be on my side, I know that for sure. :-)
