Checking in.

Again, ke laut nak update pasal audit life. Haha
I don't know. Selalu malas nak tulis pasal hidup kat sini. Tapi bila baca balik post2 lama I'd think 'Why didn't I write more'.

I've been trying to search for other jobs these past few weeks but it's soooo hard to even land an in interview. Not surprising with everything that's going on. But that doesn't stop me from feeling miserable about myself. Like aku tak cukup bagus ke and all that jazz. For now, I'll just have to continue what I'm doing... eventhough I actually DREAD having to recur for previous clients which is 95% usually what happens here.

See, the reason I initially joined audit in the first place was coz a lot of my seniors and lecturers said it's a good stepping stone to explore the industry that you want to venture into and it gives you a big exposure on the various industries available on the market. But at this point I just think 'what's the point of all this exposure if I'll end up just focusing on one later on'. And it's not really that big of an exposure. It's more 'touch and go' and depends on your luck. Some people just keep getting audit jobs for manufacturing companies so they eventually end up jumping to commercial in that kind of industry. So in the end don't we all just 'go with the flow'? And this is the kind of answer they tell us not to give during interviews? We're all hypocrites.

Speaking of interviews. I hate them so much. I hate pretending to be someone else. I don't know how to be honest and not honest at the same time. Kalau ikutkan hati, tak nak kerja pon ok. The honest HONEST answer is I'm doing this to pay the bills and to survive. And accounting is just something I happened to study and get a qualification in so thats why I'm even here applying for this position. THAT'S MY HONEST ANSWER. But no, we're expected to say things like 'I want to learn and grow in this field/organization' and  'I believe I have the necessary skills to contribute to the growth of this organization' etc. It's so exhausting having to come up with these kind of answers.

I wonder who made up these words like professionalism, corporates and capitalism. Sometimes I wish I lived in a time where these things don't exist, when we still lived in small communities and had each other's backs no matter what happened. Now we're all just stuck in this stupid rat race and making a fool of ourselves. Ok I don't know where I'm going with this. Bye.
