One Sunday

It’s been more than a month after my official last day in my previous company. Almost four weeks of job hunting. Job hunting has been hard these days due to the pandemic - lack of workforce and cost cutting of various companies. I also couldn’t help but feel that I am incompetent. Nowadays, most companies require their applicants to be multi-lingual when it comes to programming languages. I have been so focused on what my previous company is using. I limited myself with that e-commerce platform and its design tools. I only had like few months of experience of some App/API frameworks from this company. I never had a chance to study due to workloads that require us to work over time (sometimes overnight). If we are not doing over time, I am stressed enough that I wouldn’t want to look at codes when I get home... or maybe I’m just burned out?

I have started few weeks ago studying stuff that I think might be helpful in my job hunting. I have to balance my schedule between job hunting and studying. It’s just that I am worried about my funds. There are still bills to pay, stuff to buy, and my family and I still have to eat. Also the CEO from my previous company sent me an email telling me that the 1/6 payout of my backpay will be delayed indefinitely. These are the things that are out of my control.

It is frustrating that there are times that you cannot do something about your situation. There are also a lot of things that I miss doing. This quarantine has limited me to the four corners of our house.
