careers vs jobs
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007during my NJO 4 years ago as a non descript fresh grad from the south, the ladies blabbed on and on about accenture building careers. she explained the triangle that we will be “fitting” in.
a resignation and two jobs later i find myself pondering on this career growth thing. looking back on my two years at ACN, i must say i learned a lot about how to work and to get things done. not to mention everything there is to learn about PONs. be it to say the least, i was trained into a very specific role but took away skills to last a lifetime… plus made some very good friends along the way.
now looking back on the past year or so that i’ve been slaving away on this island, i cannot really say i learned a new skill… but i do feel like i was given a chance to hone the skills i learned in school.
yesterday i found out that i can edit like what my team mates do. i just need to actually want to do it and people to teach me.
why does it seem like im always at a crossroads? when is life going to get easier? yesterday, i was being tempted at the thought of migrating to australia… still doesn’t get rid of the nagging question on the back of my mind - “what do you want to do for the rest of your life Kim?”
a dog’s life of drooling and nipping at your heels looks very attractive at the moment.
haha.
but then again, who says we have to have all the answers now… but is it too much to ask for a bit of clarity?
