This is actually fun
Since I am transitioning out from my job, I am busy. I am really, really busy. Meetings, calls, diners, lunch. WoW.
I am positive about what is happening to me and that forms my experience, and attracts positive vibes.
I am thinking positive, see positive and generally feel greatly excited. Thus, I am not behaving like a cheese and wonder, why rats follow me.
So my status is pretty good. My company proposes to work with me on a contract basis, and similar goes the thinking of a friend in a research agency.
I am talking to a training provider and there is the great chance that we develop trainings with him. Yesterday evening, I received a call from a very friendly headhunter from Australia - she works with a friend of mine in Malaysia, and we have a conversation later today about an opportunity in Malaysia. There is also the conference organiser with whom I explore opportunities.
Then there is the opportunity to go it alone.
I mean, come on, I have the experience, and I am good (great!!) in what I am doing.
My experience ranges from "basic or normal market research, knowledge management, corporate change management and internal and external communication - speak: employee opinion surveys -, customer orientation and how to make a company more customer friendly. In addition, I have quite an experience in business development and customer relationships (or, traditionally speaking: account management)
In between, I have the tingling inclination that I would like to help the "so-called" fresh graduates in finding a job (any takers?), by training them in communication and "improving" their resume.
This is getting too much, but it is incredible fun. And, honestly, I have not even started to seriously think about my future. The emphasis is on seriously. Of course, I weigh ideas, and opportunities, meet with friends, have chats on the phone, draw plans, mindmaps and all. Run those ideas through my blog and all, and all in all - I am feeling great. It is an AlwaysWoW time.

Freelance is the way to go! Hehehehe... that is, if you have really good connections and a strong network. I learned the hard way, but it's all good now.

Mmm..australia. Great getaway from the haze I must say. But be careful of some companies that might look at you slightly differently just because you're an asian. But overall, nothing is always better than receiving good news. :)
