(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. 436Please respect copyright.PENANAFgaTeESRlU

But the thing is... I'm worthless to companies. The economy is declining, so of course competition will be more intense.436Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q63kBPQYF
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAOwxKkLD8MA
What else can I offer to the company? I don't have anything special. They're looking for talented, passionate individuals. I don't have talent nor passion. I don't have a reason to work that's not money. Sure, I like talking to people, I work well in a team, but come on. 436Please respect copyright.PENANAurJTxjVKQf

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... 436Please respect copyright.PENANAavQoz6lR1A

I wish I could be happy without needing that money and status. Be fulfilled. Content.436Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Y0qf7fs0
