Dealing with Changes

I'm about to switch jobs... again. Yup, starting july 1, I am no longer connected with Asialink Finance... finally! Hahaha! Meanwhile, starting August 1, I will be with Azeus, a multinational IT company. I'm back on track. Thankfully, my career path has once again crossed with the IT industry.

To be honest, I really had no intention of staying with my current job for more than a year. It just so happened that they were the 1st to open their doors to me when my contract with Sun Microsystems was coming to an end. I was open to any job then, just to get the necessary "years of experience" companies need from their applicants. As I stayed with Asialink, however, I found that this career path is really not for me. Not only was I bored out of my mind with the job, I was also frustrated with a lot of things, from bad company policies, mismanagement, to my utterly stupid boss. I was also dissapointed with the physical environment of the company. So heightened were my dissapointments that my work started to suffer. In short, I didn't think that I would grow with this company.

Don't get me wrong, I did learn a few things with my stay here. For one, I now know how to put up a rural bank. I also learned how to register a company to the SEC, write different documents (board resolutions, lease contracts, corp. secretary certificates), negotiate/ deal with difficult people. However, in all these activities, I only applied skills I already had. To those who truly know me, they would easily see that this situation would bore me to death. I'm the type of person who's always on the look out for new skill to gain, knowledge to absorb. In a company that fosters robotic employees, a person like me who seeks to be part of decision-making truly has no niche.

Thankfully, a new challenge has been given to me through Azeus. With them, I expect to learn a lot, become more immersed in the IT industry. For one, I am sure to learn SQL. It's part of the training. I'm also confident that as time passes, I will learn even more. It also helps that I would not have to deal with adapting to the social environment because I already am acquainted with a lot of people in that company. Hopefully, this company will bring me a really bright promise of a great future. Only time will tell....
