Another thing is that whenever you try to get a job during this period of time, you either seem not to have enough experience for a better job or you are offered only jobs and positions that don't require any experience, going from working in the local McDonald's to washing dishes. Obviously, neither of these are ways to either boost your morale nor provide the experience needed for another job later on in your life. They also do not provide the right social environment in which you can develop the social office skills you need later on.
The job I received as an application tester was an incredible opportunity of actually being able to prove to myself that I could be useful in a company and that I could adapt my personality to working in a group and to...
From that moment on, I started believing in myself more and in my capacity of being able to achieve professional results, to follow instructions, to act as a member of a team and to commit myself towards certain goals.
I changed from an individual not sure whether he could get a job or whether he would be able to make any progress in his professional development to someone who believed he would always be an important part of a mechanism and who would be an asset for any firm that would chose to hire me. This also improved my performance at work, because I always sought to prove all these qualities and to show the good work I was able to do. I think that this working experience can be perceived as a defining moment of my life.
