With a bit of spontaneity, I’ve sent out my first job application in HK today! I wasn’t really looking for a job per se, but I came across a part-time research position that seemed like a perfect match for me. The job nature seemed right (research, part-time), the field (architecture, sustainability) is something I’m really interested in, and better yet, the office is just a 10-min walk from home! Now if only God would open the door for me…
Lately I couldn’t seem to put my mind off thinking about my career – freelancing, entrepreneurship, and now a part-time job. And it’s becoming more and more apparent that I won’t be able to do everything well, it would be better to choose and focus on just one thing. It’s like a box of lego set, you have to disassemble a model before assembling a different one using the same set of pieces, it’s impossible to build two different models simultaneously. Putting it in a different way, if I can liken life as a marathon race with a single starting and finishing point but with different paths, one must choose a single path to run on for it’s impossible to run on two paths at the same time.
If my analogy is correct, I should choose and focus on one of the possible career paths. I’ve taken my first step by sending out the job application, may God continue to guide my career and help me choose the path by opening/closing doors.
