It’s already 1st of June and I will be out of uni in few weeks. Here I am…wondering what am I going to do and where am I going to start my career. It is rather scary than anything else. I think I will feel lost in space once I graduate because I wouldn’t know where to start….
I actually accepted as a news reporter in KBS last summer but I couldn’t do it since I had to come back to Melbourne for my final semester. To be honest, I want to keen about the job it’s because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to live in Korea. I am thinking if I should go back but still not convinced. I don’t even know what I want to do now. I am simply terrified from the real world that waiting for me to graduate….this is a serious matter.
I feel that working in media industry is just hard. If it is not hard enough now, it is definitely getting harder and harder. As new technologies everywhere nowadays, we all expect better shows. Our expectation is simply getting bigger and bigger. As I can understand, whether it’s low or high budget production, they all want their film to be as best as it can be. There are many people who are wanting or already working in media industry and I am just one of these people. The expectation and requirement to get a job would be just like cutting water into half with a knife. I started wondering if I have wasted a year and half studying masters instead of gaining work experience in media industry. What would be more important..? Street smart or book smart? The answer would be little bit of both or both of them! I consider myself rather book smart than street smart because I do not have much experience in media industry. Would I still survive in media industry? Would I still have a chance to get a good job I want without any experience? I doubt it big time but there is nothing I can do about it right now.
I went through my resume and made some changes as my lecturer Elisa advised on how to write resume properly in class. It was helpful and hopefully I will get my confident back in few weeks time. And hopefully I will figure it out what I exactly want to do in life.
