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.

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in.

What to do when you don't know what to do

I’ve been absent from writing the blog for quite a while, as I felt there wasn’t any story worth sharing. But today, I want to share something that happened in August. For some time, I had been waiting and praying, asking God to show me whether I should persevere with this winter rental business. I often felt that all my efforts were in vain, and I had reached the end of my wits, unsure of what else to do. In my prayer, I asked God specifically for a sign: if there was even just one try-on appointment in August, it would mean that He still blesses this business and that it remains aligned with His plan. That very afternoon, I suddenly received a WhatsApp message from a man who wanted to arrange a try-on session for the next day. I replied quickly, asking for details — and to my surprise, he said 10 adults were traveling together! I immediately told my husband, though I also explained that we didn’t have enough stock for such a large group. My husband encouraged me to call and explain t...
