Six months, a personal record for me. Working in such a great place has been an exciting experience. Maybe you wonder, six months? For me, and maybe some other people, finding a place to work is not an easy matter. Sometimes, you just have to choose, decide, even if your decision is against the common logic (switching job in this time of recession? Ha!). At certain point in life, one has to make an important decision. I have received a lot of opinion, suggestion, wise words, encouragement, discouragement, boo-hoo, and more, but in the end, I'm the one who have to decide.
This job has been a life-changing experience for me. Really. I have learned a lot of new things, unlearned a lot of things as well. I took whatever I can take, new knowledge, new friends, learning opportunities.
And here I am, leaving a nice place, to the unknown. I don't know what will happen next, what kind of monster I'm getting myself into. But whatever it is, I will try to take whatever I can take, every learning opportunities, every new friend I might get, every mistake I might make.
Three things that I remember from my time here: proactiveness, positivity, and resilience. It is very true, and I can see it from my experience and my colleagues'. You can't hope for something to happen without doing anything. The one who bring positive values to the team will shine, and make a difference. And even though you made mistakes, take it as a learning opportunity, bounce back and do not get discouraged. I think I have to bring those words wherever I go.
