Career aspiration!

Once upon a time I graduated and was depressed that I didn't have a job. 

Months passed, I was trying to apply where ever and whenever possible. I was after people to influence through a job in their company for me. Finally I got it. My break through job. It was awesome. I was doing great. I was clearly one of the best in the lot. 

Then came another job, a dream job in my dream company. It was out of this world. I felt like star. I was on a roll for a couple of years. Then shit happened. My boss fucked me up. I was screwed. My career was at a stand still. Then I fought, fought real hard. Worked my ass out for 2 years. My career progression had slowed down. Life as I knew it was over. People who were performing below me were passing me. But I waited patiently for my break. There it was, I got it, new role in the same company with a promotion. A nice year went by. Thinks were looking great. Then came another promotion, a pleasant surprise actually. Was quite taken up by it. 

But, lo behold that promotion came with a price. I had to move to a new division in the company as I was blocking another persons promotion. Wtf??? I was getting screwed. Without knowing I was getting screwed. 

I always wanted to go out of the country and work in another level of my dream job. This new move was going to be compensating that. I wasn't very happy. I was actually really frustrated. But I just jumped with a leap of faith and took it. It was a pleasant surprise. The job had some overseas travel involved. I was lucky I thought. But then, shit happened. I was not very happy with my job. It wasn't what I really liked to do. 

Now I feel as if I'm stuck in this place, constantly trying to find an overseas dream job. I feel like my interllectual capacity has reduced. My job doesn't really take much out of me. 

Now, I'm deprived of all the cool things I used to do. I was really frustrated. I just couldn't get around to wake up and go to work everyday, coz it was not exciting. I'm still on the hunt for another opportunity to nail that dream job. So I'm just trying to keep it going and I'm gonna keep trying. I'm not gonna give up. My time will come. I will get ahead of the job.
