Changing strategy for job hunting

I used to be a perfectionist. Whatever I did, I ensured I get on top of it and be a champion. Hardwork nevers fail me, but not for job hunting.

I would spend time for apply for one job. Think about the job requirements, consider how to response. Write and re-write to get it perfect. Once I was satisfied, I send out. But my phone was in perpetually silence. I got depressed.

I subsequently added one more step. After sending my application, I tear my hair out writing down what to say to the recruiter. I called and the competition is very competitive. We wanted candidates from Tier One consulting background.

People said but you didn't look stress! I thank God for guiding me so that I don't get stress out for nothing. 'By Christ's stripe, I am healed' is my continous prayer that heal me from depression. Research showed that for those who are stress, they are not able to change strategy but keep doing what is not working. I am glad that God is my woderful counsellor, prince of peace, and everlasting Father.

I know I live in a imperfect world. It is silly to expect perfection - that is giving myself an unneccessary pressure. Only God is perfect, and He didn't expect to be perfect otherwise He won't have send Jesus Christ to die for our sins. My main concise is that I live in according to the power of the Spirit, in tune with the Spirit. There are many good things we can do on earth but it is not align with God's will for me, the effort is futile. Then some people would get angry because they think they are the Samaritan but find nobody listen to them. Thus, I am now less perfect in my approach in job hunting. I send out applications to many jobs of similar capacities.
