For most who’ve been faced with the prodding pressure of making it on top by way of promotion, I’m sure you will relate to this.

I’ve been with RLC, my first company mind you, for almost 2 years and naturally, you would think it’s about decent time that you get promoted or jump to another job, if you don’t get it where you are. Truth be told, it’s been hard seeing other batch mates successful in their respective fields- with a title to uphold as officers, even managers. I know we shouldn’t compare but I just can’t help feeling that way. For about 6 months, been thinking of resigning and looking for another job but right now, the most practical thing is to stick it out.

There have been opportunities within and outside RLC and I’m so thankful for that. But right now, the right and wise move would be to jump out of my comfort zone and go opposite of the fence. 

Hence, I am taking the challenge of being in International Sales. I’m still in the initial process of relaying my intent to my boss and future bosses so hopefully everything goes well and I get a good package. Time to step it up! :D

*fingers crossed*

I almost forgot I took a screen shot of my 2012 career forecast. I’m not superstitious or anything, but I don’t think I’ll lose anything if I take a few pieces of advice from horoscopes and reflect on them.

Breakout year it is.

In other exciting news, today, I was called in for an interview.

It was just over two weeks ago when I-in my bravest from-tucked in my worries and second thoughts and sent my curriculum vitae to a good friend. It’s actually for this position in the government. I cannot reveal which exactly, but to give you a clue: It’s very much in line with my degree in Communication.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

I’ve given it ample time, I believe.

Being in the same company for a year and a half has been a whirlwind of ups and downs. I’ve learned a whole lot about the real estate industry in a considerably short amount of time and have grown to love the people I’m working with, which I think is very important in keeping up with the stresses of work. Yet again, for about 6 months now, I’ve been nursing this strong force inside me pushing me out of the comfort zone- telling me to start exploring other fields, expanding my experiences, and finding and grabbing other opportunities somewhere else.

I have been thinking about when the right time is to move out and just take another risk. And right now? Honestly, I don’t even care where life will take me. All I know is that I’m better off and that.. I just need to go.

I realized that sometimes, we just know when to let go. And here I am, feeling strongly about leaving. Do I have concrete plans yet? Well, no. All I know is that there will always be a good place for good people and that.. it’s probably about time.
