(A break from the Japan holiday food rant. Next and final Japan blog issue will be out next week!)
My family keeps pestering me to get a job. I know... I really want to move out again, too. 548Please respect copyright.PENANA26Kr1MKNHm

But the thing is... I'm worthless to companies. The economy is declining, so of course competition will be more intense.548Please respect copyright.PENANAAmWudtLlAp
And me, in my field. Sure, my GPA is a little above average, but so what? There are so many people out there better than me.548Please respect copyright.PENANAV3EUHrEnha

But this time, I'm as unsure as ever. It's not even just "impostor syndrome". It's a fact. I have crap time management, I'm not motivated at all, not passionate, I don't like learning new things, new systems or anything related to the field. Who'd want to hire me?
And all this reflects in my digital interviews as well. I get choked up, and mess up multiple times.
I just... 548Please respect copyright.PENANA3xMdBDq4A3

I wish I could be happy without needing that money and status. Be fulfilled. Content.548Please respect copyright.PENANAXi6Jb3RRp8
