I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes…

Something’s a-stirring in me this year and I can feel it. I’ve finally decided to quit and move on to another job. I’ve been at this for a little over 3 years and I think that’s long enough at a job which was originally only meant to be temporary.

Unfortunately, while I’m very sure I want to move on, I’m still not sure what I want to move on to next. Definitely not web-related for sure. Marketing? PR? Journalism? Who knows. I’ve flipped through the Recruit section and browsed online job sites but nothing really grabs me. The most interesting was editor for a publishing company to produce foodie books. Unfortunately, while I really enjoy eating, I’m not exactly up there with the proper gourmet terms.

I semi-announced my intentions to quit to some friends, and already one of them, bless her, has forwarded me a job opening with a PR agency. No harm applying eh, even though I have close-to-zero PR experience. Better spruce up my resume as a start. When I opened it, I realised it needs to be completely overhauled. More than half the things I put in there are useless now. How embarrassing to have projects I did in poly in there, and how embarrassing to have ‘Winner of Inter-Class Short Story Competition’ in secondary school listed as an achievement in there. Now I need to find ways to pad my resume and trumpet what I did at work more. Time to be creative.
