Self Assessment

First of all, to all of my beloved friends: your encouragement, tips and support are the most valuable assets I have! I am so happy that along this difficult journey, I can always turn to you guys for help and ideas. It's not just those words, I feel your heart.

And you are right, I should not only focus on the negatives, it's very passive and makes me feel frustrated all the time. Looking at the bright side, I do have some uniquness that can be added to my competitive advantages. It's just I should know how to pull it out and be confident about it.

Another thing is I do feel that I have passion for HR. The more I learn about it, the more I am fasinated about it. This is the right choise, or maybe there is no better choice. Moving on! Tomorrow will always be better!

a lot to do, to think about

Raining, actually it was pouring, I was on my way to the library to meet with my teammates and work on the project for Monday's presentation. All wet I got, from head to toe, even with an umbrella. Library was full of students, on weekend, under such sever weather, I was very much surprised. Looking at how stressful everybody is, and looking at how ridiculous I am, I feel awkward, is this a joke that God plays with me? I mean the students in the libaray are just 18 or 19, what the hell is a 30-year-old woman doing here?  Not that this project is kind of difficult, it is the situation I have to face: struggling to find a summer internship, a declining economy, a recession with shrincked job market, an ocean away from my baby.
 
I told myself to get a refreshed start after the New Year's Day. Yet this start began with painful frustration. The HR profession in this country requires such high level of communication skills and certain experiences. Even though the NYU brand gives me some advantage, it is still so hard for me as a foreign national to even get into the door. How could I compete with those pretty young blondes for a HR assitant job? Why would an employer hire me if anybody else in this country can do this job? Those questions are like the worst nightmare, hauting me day and night. Did I make the right choice to pursue this degree?
 
All the ideal plan I had for the summer and this year might just become a dream. Without an secured internship in a corporate firm, without any hint of finding a job, how can I bring the baby back ?
 
LG said this journey has just began. Be prepared for the worst outcome.
 
Oh, ha, let the storm come even stronger!
