Image Source
The year is about to end and a brand new year awaits us. If you are an employee who is already burned-out with your current job, this coming Christmas season may be a good time to strategize your job-hunting activities. Below are some suggestions:
  • Modify your resume. This document can make or break your chances of getting that much anticipated interview from your possible employer. Make sure that your resume is up-to-date. It should follow a professional format and must be free from any grammatical error. Before you start any job-hunting activities this season, preparation of an appealing resume should be first on your list.
  • Build your network. This season is the best way to network. Send greeting cards to your friends, relatives, or your old boss and co-workers. Not all job openings are advertised on the web or newspapers , your network may know some companies who might need your expertise or their present company might have a job opening that is fit to your qualification.
  • Improve your skills and expand your knowledge. Your network might find it difficult to recommend you to a particular company if your job experience or educational background doesn’t show much. Supplement your poor credentials with additional training or seminars from reputable institutions. Today’s business environment is very competitive, additional degrees or training in your resume may be a good way for you to get a new job.
  • Get involved in charitable works. Christmas is a season of giving. This is why many civic organizations are active during this season. Helping the poor will help you realize that your life is not bad at all and there are more people who are less privileged than you are. This experience might change your outlook towards your current or your future job.
  • And finally, think positive. Be optimistic about yourself, your life, and the world around you. By doing so, you will attract positive energy and maybe next year will be a good year if you will greet it with joy in your heart. Good luck on your job hunting!

Predicting the future. Is it a gift?

How I wish I have the gift of Nostradamus so that I can predict the future.  I want to know the future so that I can prepare myself and my loved ones in the uncertainties of this world, Like this Covid19 pandemic for instance, If I knew this would happen, I would have saved enough money, stocked more groceries, and bought all the medical supplies to survived me for a year.  Looking back at my life, there were so many failures and pains that I've been through, I wished I would have prevented it. If I knew I will be involved in a vehicle accident when I was six, I would have never left the house. If I knew that I will be involved in a painful relationship, I would have taken a different path.

If I knew the future, there will be no more what ifs.   However, if I knew what will happen in the future, what will be my present life wil...
