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.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
