  • started a p/t job in chelsea

    i just started a part-time job in nyc as a bookkeeper. it’s a small
    architect firm in Chelsea. since i have some experiences of Excel and
    general office work i feel comfortable at work. the best thing is that
    it’s not a crazy korean company. flexible work hour, no dress code, no
    pressure, no work on holidays and so on, haha. maybe it’s just because
    i’m not an architect or a full-time employee and i’m new. i’m sure
    things will change sooner or later but right now i’m just happy.

    my boss is a mid-age polish lady with heavy accent which might be
    the hardest part of my work. i have hard time  at understanding english
    with the european accent. (yea, i’m a fob) actually on the first day we
    both got frustrated at each other with this problem but it’s getting
    better. i’m getting used at her accent and she is nice enough to
    understand my struggle.

    i work only 2 or 3 days a week so i can have some time to do my own
    work for the next full-time job. yes, this is not my ultimate career
    path or goal, the dream job. all i need to do is to keep in mind that i
    have to study and work on the web stuff with wise time management. i
    have couple of more part-time jobs which are so little and small but
    i’m getting busy with them.

    as soon as i dropped all the worried and concerns about future, God
    started pouring out his grace on me who don’t even know how to deal
    with them. i’m just so thankful and praising Him. thank you all who
    helped me and prayed for me.

    my dream job 03

     

    where I want to be? it was the question this time.

     

    I wrote down every single subject I have ever
    learned from or through school, work, home, hobby, seminars, volunteering and
    so on. I highlighted what I still have passion and interest in.

     

    and then I wrote down subjects

    that I love to talk about

    that is my hobby or interest

    that I always read in bookstores

    that I want to study

    that I am unconscious of the passage of time with

    that I want to write a book about

    that I always read on newspaper

    that I frequently search on the web.

     

    I tried to find three most frequent subjects and
    they are web 2.0, planning and culture.

    so this part with a question mark will have my
    dream job where I can be constantly happy and excited.

    after asking around many people who are working in
    actual field I figured it out as a sentence: To plan and to manage products
    & contents in web 2.0 field based on cultural approach.

    +

    i wanted to be sure about this.

    so i met many people in the web industry and asked them if i have possibility to be succesful or at least i am qualified for the work, showing all the fact i found out about myself.

    then i asked them of advice about what i can do to have my dream job. thankfully they willingly gave me lots of advice with practical and specific guidence and even some job opportunities!


    now i’m working part-time for a living and preparing myself for my future and the dream job.

    it’ll take time. i can be wrong. however i don’t worry or regret my decision and walk. cuz i know that God always provides.
