I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.

 I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth.
Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop. 
I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls. 
The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf.
I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I heavily applied for jobs one week and next week I just crash on my couch.

Whenever I met my friends I asked them for referrals and also checked in with whoever I knew for job opportunities. I started getting calls only in January (I was searching almost 4-5 months back😬). I got rejected in few interviews and few people literally ghosted after taking interviews. I attended a interview in the mid week of January in the organization I joined.
It was 2 weeks and I dint receive any information from them. I was depressed thinking I will be stuck here forever. But one fine morning of Jan 29 I decided to get out of the house to nearby coffee shop with free wifi. I started applying to jobs again. It was afternoon and I decided to go back home for lunch and some pending office work.
I received a call from HR saying I got the job. I was soo excited. This call was soo magically because I got it on the same day I started believing and stepped out again to apply.

Next thing I know they call me back telling the interview they took was not valid as the platform they used was not approved. They immediately asked me to attend one more round.
I freaked out. I managed to do it but little did I realize this was just for formality and they had already sent the offer letter once the call started. Only after the call was over I checked my mail because my husband was constantly calling (He logged into my account for applying to jobs and was receiving my mails ever since😑 His way of making sure I don't miss out any calls when I have those mental breakdowns wherein I quit job portals search and mail reading for a while). 

I also learnt very important lessons from my rejected interviews. I was not fully prepared for the questions they asked, In some interviews I was too nervous I blabbered few details on my work exp and this went into a loop of questions where I got stuck, some interviews I dint give optimized solutions to problems they asked. 

Takeaway:

  • Never stay in an un-appreciated place.
  • Always stay where you feel valuable.
  • Always learn and upskill yourself, I missed out many opportunities as I decided to go only for a specific language related to mobile app development. If I had put in some time to explore the other language I wouldn't have to wait this long for a successful interview. I'm still adamant about it but have decided to be more flexible.
  • Learning only 1 solution to a problem was a mistake and I lost an opportunity because I dint provide an optimized solution.

All the best if your looking for a job change. But if your already happy in the job, never stop learning💖

Dealing with Anger😈

Being angry is something that I do most of the time especially on my family because I never react at work or anywhere else as much as I feel free to do it at home. The main victim of my anger is my younger sister. It’s also true that she irritates me most of the time but she is kind of curious of things I do and tries to lookout to me to help her and I just scream and send her away. We also tend to do it with our mom’s more frequently. She asks us if we had lunch or dinner and we end up screaming at her asking her not to disturb because we are too busy in something which might not be that important than eating on time. Always think for a minute before you scream or be rude to someone because it’s not their fault to come and talk to you so that you show your frustration on them. Relax and enjoy things while doing them because having a cool mind gets the best out of you in any situation rather than a panicking person.

Read this if you feel sick and unwell all the time..

  This post is just to change your narrative on health if you have been feeling sick or being called a sick person all the time. I would like to explain this using my life story. I have been the most adventure loving fun person I know throughout my life but I stopped believing this narrative and started feeling sick and lazy and it all started during the onset of covid. If you would have known me before this phase you would have rarely seen me sick. I would have cried a few times because of teen life crisis but it had nothing to do with my health. Even on family trips to hills I have never felt nauseated. During the 8 months of being a fresher I had lot of freedom and money to buy and eat things I want and there were times I used to eat 2 small size pizzas around 10:30 pm. It dint do anything to me but the results showed up during locked down where I gained around 8 kgs. I had work for the entire day during this fresher phase and my onset of frequent headaches started. This is when...
