• PAMBRI graduated from college with flying colors at the height of recession, 2009. Unfortunately stepped off on the wrong foot in her first job. In the transition from being an academic zealot to a real life nut.

    What an interesting subject, I thought. So I clicked the link and added to favorites.

    It was exactly a month ago when this article made it to Yahoo’s homepage. I only took a glimpse of it and never finished it on purpose. Why? I knew it was going to make sense and I was worried it might urge me to start looking for a new job again when I’ve only been here for 6 months. My personal goal is to stay in a company for at least a year. A job-hopper impression on my resume? Imagine explaining valid reasons why you resigned. Nope!

    Anyway, don’t you think landing a decent job was much easier a few decades ago? Requirements weren’t too specific and demanding back then. You would be astonished to find out how some baby boomers’ educational background is a far cry from their career track. You could be a graduate of Criminology and wind up in a bank or not hold a degree (read: not finish college) and still get employed, overseas even.
    Guess what? Today marks my 5th month in my fall-back job! Better part? I don't have any complaints! I actually feel guilty about getting paid, knowing (or feeling) I haven’t contributed anything significant to the company yet. You have no idea how long I have been lax in this office and I can say I’ve had enough of it!

    Anyway, a new project was assigned to me a month ago but it only begins today and I kinda feel a tad anxious about working on it. Nonetheless, I was still excited to browse our project’s Sharepoint website to familiarize myself but mostly because I knew my picture would be up in the contact list together with other consultants worldwide.

    Look what I found after the jump!
    
    Im beginning to hate
    this dude
     “It's not where you started, it's where you're going that matters”

    Familiar?

    Full of crap. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to escape this infamous tagline that appears to be literally everywhere. Not only has it made its way to my Hotmail inbox but also in my default webpage, Cebu Pacific’s online booking website. These words are even plastered in every nook and cranny of Makati’s CBD underpasses. Get the picture?

    How would you feel if you were able to get your career-frustrated, unemployed-since-out-of-college, chillax friend a job at the Company you’ve been aspiring to work for?.. but not yourself?
