When I changed career after being in the OT side for 2 years, I knew that my OT skills will inevitably be obsolete. The industrial technical things move too quickly that I knew I would not be able to keep up if that is not my line of work anymore. But these days, since I am working closely with OT providers, I am feeling a bit out of it. I miss being on that side of things instead of being in the IT/OT integration. I miss the late night troubleshooting. I miss the sense of…
I’ve heard many questions about what I plan to do after I graduate. I usually say that I want to continue my WFH journey. But personally, I don’t want to do it yet, even though I only have four months left before I become unemployed. Maybe after I graduate, if my Plan A doesn’t work. For now, I’m trying to build different businesses that can give me unlimited potential. I love doing jobs that make me think deeply without worrying about a boss’s business. That’s why I focused…
My husband wants to work as a VA, but he doesn’t know how or where to start.
Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile **A friend of mine recently informed me that he won't optimize his LinkedIn profile now because he obtained an extension of his temporary postdoc job!** Is he correct in his action plan? Maybe yes, or maybe not. What do you think? **I think differently about LinkedIn.** **I see many such passive LinkedIn profiles.** These LinkedIn profile holders remain silent and passive. **These LinkedIn members seldom write/publish a post or write a…
In the career I want to pursue, the most important thing I’ve learned is to show up. There are bad days, but I hope we’re still able to continue. We should also stay humble at all times. I’m currently being proactive in my career because I don’t want to live paycheck to paycheck. My mother wishes I had already graduated, but I’m glad that I haven’t yet because I still have time to explore my desired career. So far, I’m making progress as a TikTok affiliate. I’m now going to…
Dream comes True I admire those who are Men in Uniform, I imagine myself before wear that admired and respected uniforms one can wear with pride. I dont have a degree to boast or anything, I just want to share that If you like something, do something to reach it. I pushed my self into entering the military, first i build my self, I got National Certificate in TESDA so that i would have atleast some skills that i could use to apply. I started my application on 2021, took the…
I am torn between leaving my current work, going abroad, transferring to other company, focusing on learning to become a VA or focusing my ESL :( I just want to earn more but not killing myself for too much stress.
Today is New Year's Eve, and my wish for this year in general is that we do things that make us happy. We shouldn't only pursue a specific job or goal because of money, peer pressure, or any other outside aspects. I wish for us to do activities because they give us self-fulfillment, and let those other "reasons" simply follow. I hope we won't label ourselves the way others label us. I thought about this because I don't want to earn money just because it's the more…
I have been planning to edit my resume for ages. Today no matter what I am going to do it.
I will spend this day reminding myself why I want to escape corporate life. After working as an intern, I promised to avoid the pressure that comes with that environment. It’s not that I refuse to work. I simply want to break away from the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck. I believe I can do more, and I want work that aligns with my strengths.
Sometimes it’s not you who choose the Profession but It’s the profession That choose you. I am beyond grateful for whatever i have this time. ❤️
I just saw a post on Facebook where he or she manifested that our career makes us feel happy every time we wake up in the morning. May we feel the same thing after a couple of weeks. So far, I'm only 2-3 weeks ahead, and I will finally finish my on-the-job training. I'm already fed up with my job that doesn't align with my passion. I just can't say it directly to them because I have this passion that will pay me well. However, circumstances don't align with it during my…
Nothing Special, Just living a slow life these Day’s.😴 Ended My university life a month back now I am stuck whether to continue my studies, start grinding for a Job and do some more Rest. 🥲 This overthinking will literally destroy my mental peace if I will live one more month like in the house so thinking to drop CV’s nearby before getting admission in the start of the next year. let’s see, what’s ahead 🤧
From Felicity To Firewalls: My Tech Journey My tech journey kicked off in September 2018, sparked by a dream that hit me like a lightning bolt when I was eleven ⚡️. In 2012, I was glued to Arrow (Season 1, Episode 3, "Lone Gunmen," October 24), totally fangirling over Felicity Smoak, the cybersecurity queen at Queen Consolidated. Her sharp mind, fair skin, and nerdy-cool glasses 😎 made me think, “That’s me in the future!” She cracked codes and saved the day, inspiring me to…
Today is the last day of my OJT shift. I'm so happy that I will be able to rest. My sibling is currently asking for my recommendation about his preferred program for college admission. As an advice, he should take a track he knows he can use in the future. I'm having a headache since I am currently scolding my sibling. Every time he chooses a program that I know could give him a better future, he backs out. He keeps changes his mind after reading the prerequisites on the…
I’m torn—should I start a business or find a job? If I choose business, can I really sustain it? If I choose work, will my body be able to endure it? Or maybe I should just focus on my studies for now.
How My Life Has Been Changed From January 2024 to August 2025 August 27, 2025 Hy everyone am going to write this article by participating in the contest organized by @Eirolfeam2@Eirolfeam2 that how my life has been changed from January 2024 to August 2025. When 2024 started I was so broken at that time having no aim/goal of life. Even I became introvert. ***But the nature itself opened different ways for me . In the mid of 2024, I take an admission in B.Ed. & Am so happy now…
Real Struggles in Your 40s — and Voices of Those Who Made a Choice “I just want to quit my job…” That thought has crossed my mind more often since turning 40. Responsibilities keep piling up, yet recognition and pay have hit a ceiling. I feel out of sync with the younger generation. And at home, I have my family — children’s education, the mortgage, retirement savings… I want to quit. But I can’t. Surely, I’m not the only one caught in this dilemma. **Voices of Those Who…

Good evening. I checked my last post and am surprised it's been 3 days. I was busy with my academic and work stuff. I am still busy, but I find time. I am now deciding whether to go to my friend's offer of a full-time writing gig. I am optimistic that I can do it, but I am worried I can still sleep if it goes well. I recently edited our thesis and will consult with the research director tomorrow. I will also ask him to refer to his acquaintance, an accountant, for our…
Good evening, read.cash buddies! I'm feeling quite lonely and stuck tonight. I’ve been deep in thought about my future. I still feel lost about what to do next after leaving my current job. There’s so much left to do, so many challenges to face, and many sacrifices to make. May God direct my paths. He knows what to do in situations like this. Goodnight. 🙂

Importance of Soft Skills in Cybersecurity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKpYBkpG-yI The Cybersecurity Vault - episode 38, with guest Evgeniy Kharam. Soft Skills are essential cybersecurity as they enable communication, teamwork, leadership, and relationship building. Yet, the cybersecurity industry has traditionally focused on the technical skills and aspects, often undervaluing how soft skills can amplify effectiveness and efficiency. Evgeniy Kharam and I discuss the…
What a Dream Job is... I've always been fond of making something - may it be arts and crafts, something from scratch, food, clothes, pastries, and bread. As they say it, jack of all trades but master of none. However, as I grew, I needed to have a solid plan for my future and I was hooked to take BS Food Technology at a prestigious school in our country with a scholarship. It was a hard journy but I graduated on time with flying colors last July. I thought to myself, I would…
Keep your resumes up to date once in every 6 months I usually work with a lot of people who are just starting their careers. Most of the time they are lost and they don't have any big vision on the direction of their career. I understand it and I have also had similar feelings during my first few years and I had nobody to guide me back then. But today the only thing that I tell them is to review their resume once every 6 months and make sure it is updated with new learnings…
South India to become a new hub for electronics soon When I studied Engineering, Computer Science was the craze and it was the hottest thing to study back then. I never knew that but only later after we passed out I came to know about all these things. But I know one thing for sure that people who studied Electrical and Electronics or Electronics and communication or Bio-Medical Engineering did not have enough jobs. Compared to them, it was a great opportunity for computer…
Demand for Blockchain integration Engineers There are many projects in the crypto space that have not reached completion state because of a lack of blockchain integration engineers. Some ideas are very good and the people with those ideas are finding it hard to implement the ideas because this technology is pretty new and there are not enough blockchain integration engineers. Some blockchains like Hive are very tough to get started because of poor documentation. Despite all…
Choosing photo editing and video editing as a career option Recently I have been getting a few offers where people need someone to edit their videos for YouTube. This has become a vital profession these days and people are looking for someone with innovative skills who would shoot the video and give it to the editor and the editors should be creative to make the video attractive. I was surprised to see that people are ready to pay a decent amount of money for this. This has…
I was gone for too long and I guess that some of my virtual friends are not active here anymore. I stopped ranting about my school life because I finally graduated and started working at a state university where I graduated. Kinda busy honing my skills and focusing on my career right now. Sometimes I feel like I'm not in a right path and so lost. Imagining about my future. I actually want to take a Master's Degree or start my own business. Being indecisive is not really good…
How to not get stuck in our current job This month is the appraisal month in my day job and we have to provide some data points to the leader for them to evaluate. It is a tedious process but at the same time an exciting one because we get a chance to evaluate ourselves. As always I used to tell to my team members that we have to make sure our resume gets a good update once in 6 months so that we can understand where we stand. Getting stuck in the same job for several years…
Starting your journey as a web developer I have done a lot of interviews in my day job and sometimes I guide people to give a good interview. It is usually like I share what I would be expecting from a candidate and most of the time that works for people. Sometimes people in my team in the office ask if if they can start coding even if they don't know any basics. They are afraid to switch careers but at the same time, they also would like to experiment with how it works and…
Best time to look for a new job Working in a company for several years is good but there is a small chance that we might get stuck inside a comfort zone. There is no harm in working in the same company for several years as long as our needs are satisfied. But we must look for the right time to switch to our next job. My employer is keeping me happy and I have never thought about changing jobs but in recent months, I have been thinking about this and the factors that should…
During this vacation, I realized the harsh truth about whether I want to be a successful digital marketer. That is the importance of securing the attention of potential clients and customers. Despite receiving multiple awards and academic recognition at our university, I know that growth comes from hands-on experience. Here’s why capturing attention is crucial across various platforms: - TikTok: You must engage viewers within the first 3 seconds to encourage product…
As a marketing student, I realized that actors and mainstream artists are the best marketers. They can promote products or services without taking a Marketing Management program. Aside from that, they know how to brand and market themselves. What sets them apart from the rest is their creativity. Some of them were good at acting, singing, or dancing. Maybe I'm only saying this because I want to stay on track and feel bad.
LinkedIn is one of the best platforms I have discovered recently. I have met many professionals in different fields, such as motivation, copywriting, marketing, and storytelling. All of them are nice and always provide educational content for free. This helps me refresh and add to my existing knowledge in marketing and copywriting. As an aspiring copywriter and SEO content writer, I plan to grow my LinkedIn account for connections and networking.
It's been months or year now I think since my last post here HAHAH a lot of things happened. This year I met the most broken and happiest type of me. Ay nice ga English English parin. Finally a second year graduate, June 18 2024 will be our graduation, certificate graduate in agriculture. Muntik pa hindi maka graduate because of my laziness but thanks to everyone that help me get through that phase. I've been feeling drain and loss because I'm not sure where this course will…
Why it's so hard to choose the specific field of your subject? Have gone through the same phase, and am not satisfied with what I already have chosen. So much confusion and too much stress. Now, just hoping for the best for myself.

Focus on skills first and money will follow This year has been one of the dull years where there is not enough opening outside. People find it hard to switch jobs this year and I also heard that many companies try to reduce the headcount in their company. Only a few regular jobs flourish and especially IT business is not very great. Most companies try to increase their projects but would like to reduce the headcount. In some companies, AI is also playing a very important…
Hi guys! I'm updating again after a couple of days. Recently, I've been learning SEO fundamentals because I want to expand my copywriting skills.

I also have a circle where I can discuss it further. That's my random update haha. See you next time!

Master or Jack of all trades? How to manage your skill-set portfolio Some assert that a “*Jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.*” Others insist on the ideal focusing on and achieving virtuosity in a single craft, free from distraction and futile pursuits that will never lead you to mastery. After all, there is no point in wasting effort on skills in which you will never excel - never to wield effortlessly. Amateurism, it seems,…

I would like to share some thoughts here... So few weeks ago, my supervisor recommended me to apply for the next level position.... During the interview my Manager asked, "What preparation did you do prior to this interview?" I replied,"Oh well, I made sure to check the data given and so I can answer the questions that'll be thrown to me". Then he said,"No no no I mean how did you prepare yourself?". I was like,"Hmmm, I asked my colleagues if they see me fit to the position…
Law of Attraction Had a deep conversation with a senior from work. He was always very nice and encouraging everytime we would talk so conversations are always smooth. The other day, he asked me if I ever have plans of resigning and look for a better job. Honestly, I don't love my job but it pays the bills. Looking for a job is like trying to look for a needle in a haystack, hard is an understatement. I do have plans of leaving but it gives me more fears than excitement. The…
