Notwithstanding, Recruiters do a lot of the rejection too. Unfortunately, many don’t do …
Halfreformed: 2021 Hits
Image by Theo Eilertsen via Unsplash As mentioned in my previous blog post, 2021 felt like nothing happened to it, yet a lot of things did. Between the multiple periods of lull and #stayhome campaigns, I’m grateful that I was kept company by the various media I consume. So of course, I won’t miss out …
Career progression: Is the only way to go up?
As a Recruiter, whenever I ask candidates about their reasons for wanting to explore career opportunities, I can usually group their responses into three.
10 life lessons learned in the last 10 years.
I’m at least 1.5 years late in making this post. I got inspired by Jenny Mustard, a Llfestyle influencer that I follow, when she posted her 15 life lessons in the past 15 years. I recently entered my 30s, so I should have posted this that time as a right of passage. Anyways, to keep …

Second Half: Never be the same again.
Prologue: As I said in my earlier entry, I’m aware I’m writing this from a privileged perspective. Likely, not everyone who reads this have the same luxuries as I do.

I don’t personally know anyone who’s African-American either. …

Though there was literally nothing noteworthy that happened , some sort of awakening and “re-assesment" is abuzz internally. I am not alone in this for sure. Many people had to drastically change their …
Sanity during Circuit Breaker
Note: Circuit Breaker refers to a milder version of a Lockdown where I live. I originally wanted to write about success for my March blog. #Adulting took over again and I missed writing last month. Besides that, I felt it would be out of touch to what’s happening right now if I proceed to write …
Unplugged
A couple of months ago, a few friends asked me why they don’t see me post on social media anymore. When I say Social Media, I’m referring to the Big Three: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Yes, I’ve not posted in a long while, over 1.5 years to date. What prompted the disappearance was a dark …
FInd the “story of my life” through Quiet by Susan Cain
I first saw Quiet in a book store 1-2 years ago, and got re-acquainted to it a few weeks ago, watching the author Susan Cain in Marie Forleo’s online show, Marie TV. In the show they discussed about networking tips for Introverts, which I sorely needed for my line of work. They touched based a …
