Got my new Job in a Government Office

 Alhamdulillah, I have a new career to start. I finally got hired in a government office. I waited for this but I'm nervous at the same time. I don't know what lies ahead, I never worked in a government office before. I'm still assigned to the Engineering section but I have this feeling that things will be different. This is almost a career switch. I'm a little paranoid if I'll be able to perform my duties as I'm clueless about how things work in this administration. I want to be the best that I can be and contribute to the progress of our community. And I'm already feeling the pressure. Yes, I had years of experience in a private construction firm but I'm not sure if that will be applied in this new position. I want to feel that I deserved this opportunity by returning excellent services. But will I make that?

 It's already common hearsay, that there's no pressure or not challenging at all to be working in the Government. That "some" people there are delinquent, enjoying the benefits but not worthy of it at all. I don't want to be tagged that way. And that scenario is for me to find out, let's not judge. All my life I've been working with integrity. I may not be the best employee, but I see to it that I'm being responsible. I always try my very best to commit to my deliverables. This time, it's the public I will serve. I want to be sincere in doing that so I can be an efficient public servant. I don't want to be one of those "some" I used to hate for being an irresponsible and conceited public employee. Don't they know that they are working for the people? Why are they being so arrogant? I don't want to be like them.

Anyway, I'll be just fine. I may be curious about my new working environment, feeling anxious about what kind of people I'll work with, how my work experience will help, but I know I'll be okay, Inshaallah. I will be okay because this was a long-time dream, to be waking up every day at my own home. No more long-distance relationship with my family, I've been doing that since I was in college.

I prayed for this. I asked the Almighty to provide me a job I deserve, where I will find fulfillment and happiness :) . There were rejections before but never got too disappointed because I knew that isn't what's mean for me. And that is another reason why I think I will be okay.

In three months, I will update this blog. I'll discuss how my expectations turned out, all about my curiosity. So let's see.
