Career change - Unlearn to learn

Last week, I had an incident during my business trip to Indonesia that confirmed it’s time for me to move on. I felt humiliated and taken advantage of by the company, and for the first time, I found myself in tears.

I confided in one of my team members, expressing my anger and frustration. On a positive note, this experience clarified my calling and what I want to pursue next.

I’ve decided to focus on finding a new opportunity where I can contribute my expertise and networks while also growing personally and professionally. I’m particularly drawn to the cybersecurity industry, as I believe I can make a significant impact there.

Since this is a new field for me, it’s time to unlearn and relearn. I’ve started taking short courses on LinkedIn to improve my resume and CV and to better understand how to land my dream job.

I know there’s a lot of preparation ahead if I want to achieve my goals. Hopefully, it will all be worth it.

Task List

  1. Continuous Prayer: Remain prayerful until my goals are realized.
  2. Define Job Criteria: Write down what I want in my new role.
  3. Market Research: Conduct research on the cybersecurity industry.
  4. Resume Building: Create an impactful resume and cover letter.
  5. Revamp LinkedIn: Update my LinkedIn profile and build a homepage for my portfolio.
  6. Identify Potential Companies: List organizations I’d like to target.
  7. Research Companies: Learn about these companies through their websites and social media.
  8. Network on LinkedIn: Reach out to decision-makers.
  9. Pitch Myself: Present myself as the solution they need.
  10. Secure Interviews: Aim to close one of the interviews.
  11. Finalize Employment: Obtain the employment contract.

I anticipate this process will take about 90 days, so I’ve created a 30/60/90-day plan. I’m determined to make this happen because I believe that if I act with the right intentions, God will guide and provide what I need along the way.

Birthday Trip to Vietnam - Hanoi (Cafe hopping)

We spent our  last day in Hanoi  doing what we love most— café hopping ! The day started with a local breakfast of  Banh Cuon , a soft steamed rice roll filled with minced pork and mushrooms, quite similar to  chee cheong fun  but with its own Vietnamese twist. Light yet flavorful—perfect to kick off the morning. Next, we visited  Café Giang , the birthplace of the famous  egg coffee . Rich, creamy, and unlike any coffee we've had before—it’s a must-try when in Hanoi. Our last café stop was  The Note Coffee , a cozy and cheerful little spot decorated from floor to ceiling with colorful  sticky notes  left by visitors from all over the world. Their  iced coconut coffee  was refreshing and delicious—definitely a highlight. Since our hotel was located near  Train Street , we couldn’t resist visiting it multiple times— three to be exact!  We even had dinner there one evening, enjoying the thrill of the train zooming by ju...

Reset to Zero Ground

Last week was an emotional roller coaster, as I mentioned in my previous blog . On September 28th, I received a revelation: my period arrived eight days earlier than expected according to my app. I was overjoyed, believing that God had answered my prayers. This felt like a sign that being a stay-at-home mom was my next role. I had promised God that if I wasn’t pregnant, I would be willing to follow His will, including nurturing my three boys at home. My first reaction was one of disbelief: "Really? Is this it, God? The end of my career and all my hard work?" Then, I met Tante Elaine, a speaker from Indonesia invited to discuss the importance of being fruitful. Her life story resonated deeply with me and provided another affirmation of my path. She reassured me that I am multitalented and that God might have plans for me that are greater than I can imagine for His Kingdom. She encouraged me to be patient during this process, reminding me that just because we can’t see the frui...
