Everything will fall into place...but when?
Today is yet another day in the adventures of an ambitious job seeker. Only it had its twist and might have sparked something of value.
So far I have been dealt with lead after lead after lead and am just trying to follow up and conduct a proper job hunt. After awhile, with no call backs/interview might I add, it can get a little overwhelming and intense. Naturally, I sunk into a bit of a mini funk over the weekend, and it continued until Monday.
Then I was invited to a two day Wednesday-Thursday AIESEC information session to speak as an AIESEC Alum on my diverse experiences. Let me tell you, just being involved in something of substance after being away for awhile, seeing the eyes of and talking to the potential future leaders of this organization is a huge upper. It is exactly what I needed actually to keep me going and keep me refreshed (more importantly).
It also made me realize how much I miss this crazy organization. Seeing all the pictures and sayings in the powerpoint brings back crazy memories of what AIESEC has done for me. I want to be involved still!
Maybe a traineeship is inline? Anyone want a previous MCP as a match? :).

A lot of crazy people knock on doors. I had better go check through the window to see who it is. Once I can confirm that it is the world knocking, I'll answer and we'll have a little discussion. I will let you know at that point :).

Eric, if the door knocks with a short-term opportunity that would bring you to the part of the world you want to come back to, then take it. Firstly it may not be what ur looking for, but its a temporarily job that will energize you and empower you again with giving back. Secondly, it will bring you closer to companies in case of interviews..
I say a temporary opport. can carry alot more goodies with it ..

keep your chin up, buddy. it's a grueling process no doubt. nothing happens, nothing happens, nothing happens, and suddenly everything happens. keep all your options open. I agree with S!lentSp!r!t, it may not be your ideal job at first, but you can use it to catapult to a better job. I had just faxed over papers to work in Canberra when I got my job offer in the States. It happens that fast.
