The search continues

Where does time go? I have been busy compiling a list of pr firms in Asia, along with specific contact people within the firms. I have realised that I should carefully consider what area of pr I would most like to be involved with, and which area I am best suited. But can I afford to be picky at this point?
Searching for a job like this on the other side of the world from my country and often in a second language is maybe the biggest challenge I have ever taken on. But I must say, rather than being disheartened, I am enjoying the challenge greatly.
I have been in contact with pr professionals, pr firms and learned a lot about the industry and entry into it. This is after only a few months of research and checking. My aim is to start within a year and a half to two years of my first blog entry.
I will note now, I will not put people’s names and companies names with whom I have had or am in contact with, although I would like to express my gratitude to them. I'll leave that till after I have a result.
So the blog postings and musings have been sparse, that is not for lack of interest, I am channelling most of my time on the internet into research. As I come across interesting articles or reach any milestones I shall update.
My first major achievement has been to be asked to apply for an internship in Singapore. My worry is that if I uproot from Japan now, mid-way through my studies, do a two month internship and don't get offered a job, I will create many major problems for myself.
But it's that chance, that glimmer of hope that is so appealing. Risks like this could pay off, but should I continue with my current plan, to move to Tokyo in March next year and try for internships or entry-level positions from there?
At least I have options and am moving forward, my great fear is to stay still and stagnate. Unfortunately my character doesn't allow this. Sometime, being very driven is a good thing.



I think.
