First Job, First accomplishment?

I just landed myself a job, in fact I had already started my first day.

Now how do I describe this feeling. Sense of Pride? Achievement? A Winner more like it.

Honestly, I graduated in May if I count from my last paper and I nearly landed a job. At least, I think I nearly did. But I was going for overseas exchange so I couldn't commit and had to do odd jobs in order to save up for my graduation trip which last about one month and 9 days. I had a blast even though it was quite a pity that I couldn't work right after I graduate because it would had been really something should a fresh graduate landed a job right before her last paper. I know there were many that had a job offer even before way before their last semester starts but still it is quite something.

I was quite down and worried I couldn't get a job after I came back from my overseas exchange trip because by then all the good jobs would had been taken up by my peers who didn't go overseas. They can start immediately.

My Mom was another damper. She told me how long my Dad took to eventually managed to get a suitable job with reasonable pay and good environment. And the period he took was eight months!

The thought of me unemployed, leeching of my parents for nearly a year just devastate me.

I want to be independent and able to be relied on.

Therefore, I would Definitely!

Definitely!
Definitely!
Definitely!
Definitely!!
Definitely!
Definitely!
Definitely!


NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT

Allow this scenario to happen!

After I flew back home, my friend who came back one week earlier, gotten a job. At a prestige company. Well, that's her since she's been an intern for two branded companies and is really suitable for this high end stuff.

And she is starting work the day after our Convocation.

I was super depressed. I got pressurized. And I start to look back at my previous interviews and I started to think, the first to land a job should had been me if I hadn't go to Korea.

At the back of my head I know that she had sent out applications earlier than me since she's back in the country one week earlier and that she is considered quick to land a job.

But I just can't control my mind.

Shortly after she started work, during the week of convocation I also received many interviews call and went from one firm to another.

Somehow I think god.. yesh God, I not a faithful devotee or something but I think god/ancestor/whoever it is , answered my prayer.

Just one week after convocation/friend started work, I received an offer.

HHHOOORRAYY!

And out of the four of us and also friends from outside clique, I'm the second fastest. Which is not too bad. I'm quick too.

Hence, I say I feel like a Winner. I still managed to get a job even though I went for overseas trip and the company that I am currently working for is quite reputable too. Well, at least locally. Not a small company at all.

For now I feel belonged to the company and I really really hope that I wouldn't end up like my cousin, who left within a month.

And that I would stay put until 1/2 years at least and then judge whether to stay on or leave. Probably stay.

Another reason why I say I'm a winner is because I felt like I had accomplish a really impossible task, I landed a job within my field of study without going into sales. Because often companies like to merge marketing and sales. So this time, no sales.

Plus , it has always been a worry whether if I can graduate successfully and anyone will employ me.

Next reason would be, with the monetary power that I have now, I can fulfill my other dreams like traveling overseas next year or continue my language courses.

I can do so much more. Even though I had only started work but I felt like I am on my way there, nono , half way there.

No words can describe my excitement. And I really hope things will go well for me.

So maybe I can fulfill my dream of going back to Korea annually?

Starting from next year?
