It's been a bit over 2 weeks since I moved to Shanghai, and though I must say I've been a little bit more active in learning Chinese and looking for a job, it really still isn't enough. The more I look into a job, the more I see how seemingly futile and pointless it is to find anything in the sea of candidates and positions. It really drives a sense of despair that is making me question whether there is anymore point to searching for a job. My hopes of being fluent in English does not have as much value here as I hoped it would. Searching through jobs has made me wonder if I should just take whatever positions I can find or actually look for something I want to do. Even with potential feedback, interviews must still be conquered through to have any chance of getting a job. I have not even received any hint of reply back from anyone since I started applying (except from that one scam).
But I guess this is the crucial point that separates the winners from the losers, the doers from the quitters. Will I have enough strength to keep going, to persist through this task that seems to bear no fruit? Just got to redouble my efforts and hope something comes out of all this. Got to do everything with more frequency and intensity: study Chinese, study Economics, study Shanghai, study China, study how the real life workplace works, research industries, and all that good stuff.
Ok, better stop goofing off and get back to studying Chinese right now.
