My experiment: Manifest a job

[HeartExalted]

For what it's worth, this can be done. A few weeks ago, I made a request to the Universe for "a job by the end of the week," and the offer came before that time. Maybe it helped that I was really tired, so I was able to feel all floaty as I did it. Like, "Oh, yeah, sure I can get a job - happy happy happy"

Whatever I did, it worked, and if you find the method that's right for you, then it can work for you too. :-)

Hey folks

I have 2 opportunities waiting for me right now. I just applied for a hotel job which requires you to speak Chinese and English, and Japanese....which I can speak all 3. I'm pretty sure that job is going to work out.


I have another employer saying that he wants to interview me, however he's been saying that since last week. I have not yet heard from him.


And I am also applying for jobs in Shanghai and HongKong (gotta be flexible here).

And I got this e-mail:

"Thank you for your email. It would be too difficult to interview you because you are not in either California or Shanghai. Also, you must speak Chinese to be considered."


What?? I DO speak Chinese....did she not even read my cover letter and resume? I AM Chinese myself!

My god....I feel absolutely insulted.


Oh well, who would want to work with someone like that.

[Cochonette]

What?? I DO speak Chinese....did she not even read my cover letter and resume? I AM Chinese myself!

My god....I feel absolutely insulted.

lmao... I think she is insulting herself.

I have manifested a job, apparently. Got hired today.

[LifeFirst]

I have an interview next Friday....

I'm CERTAIN I'll get this job!

[LifeFirst]

Well right now...I'm in BIG trouble...


I barely have any money left.

And I need to get a job.

So today I went to a restaurant and asked if they hire foreign students and foreigners.

They said yes and directed to the telephone number I'm supposed to call.

I called and.....the lady said a sentence I could not understand at all..

I told her to repeat it but I still couldn't understand..

I asked her what she was talking about she got fed up and said that I better improve my Japanese before calling again.

I don't know what to do....I've been studying Japanese all day long as well as trying to find work.

Now I can't even work in a restuarant ???

If I can't work there where the hell　CAN I work???

I don't know....I'm think in Trouble.....


Man...

[LifeFirst]

Well, since nobody wants to respond I'll posting anyway.

Since I'm the only one in this World who cares about myself it seems.



Basically, today was just a ******* riot.

I was going invited to attend a job fair sort of thing. And just as I was getting to leave the house I guess my contacts became infected with something and my eye got a rash. So I kept on trying to put eye liquid into my eye to calm the pain, however the pain was going on 20 minutes so I was couldn't even leave.

And when I was about to leave I was pretty damn late.....I was rushing. And once I arrived they said that the place was full and I can't go in unless I make another reservation.

Alright, I did....they say they'll call me back.

Great, whatever.

So I just started walking around Tokyo looking for job opportunities, well, no luck. I saw some interesting stores maybe next time I'll go in and ask if they want people anyways. A lot of them don't have the recruitment posters posted at the front. But whatever, next time I'll put on a brave face and go do it.


So I was walking back home, just strolling and thinking.

So I hear a guy talking loudly on his phone....ok...I just took a quick glance...like I give a **** about what he's doing.

Whatever, none of my damn business.

I keep on walking......and guess what the **** happens next.

I feel a blow to my chest.

That bald snappy headed awkward goatee looking ****ing Jap piece of **** takes a ****ing blow to my chest??

I stood there...just in plain disgust...shock....whatever you call it.

I turn around like "wtf are you doing hitting me?"

The guy starts screaming TO MY FACE "What the hell are you looking at??"

I was just confused at first.....and then I got the situation...

ok...

So I either fight the guy or I just walk away.

What's the smart choice here.

I stared at him....my blood was boiling...how dare this bastard hit me??

I was minding my own business.....I utter a "nothing"...

whatever...the guy kept on staring at me...I stare at him...

ok a ****ing standoff....he turns around and he walks away finally.

I walk away thinking that was the weakest punch I've ever felt in my Life.

Maybe I should have gotten it on with him....I would have broke his ******* neck and all his Yakuza fams.

What a piece of garbage....I hope he dies tomorrow.


Goddamit.

I'm trying hard to make a living, learn the language, respect the people.

And one day some guy on the street hits me for no reason??

Son of a ******* *****....

This will only make me try harder...


ok....rant over...

and actually...I don't really mean a single word that I said...

Just a ******* rant...now get over yourselves before you call me racist or whatever.

You know what....I don't even care if you call me racist...go ahead...I don't give a damn.

Rant over.

[ellie]

The first thing that came to my head, when you were asking, "why you couldn't find the place?"...I was going to say intuition. Intuition that it was not the right job.

Happens to me all the time, whenever I am late to a job interview, or can't find the place, it means I shouldn't go for the job.

[browland]

I think you should cut yourself some slack. This is a challenging goal - finding a job can be hard enough, but you're in a foreign land and learning the language. It's definitely possible to succeed, but you may find something a bit different which you really like and would never have expected.

Personally I'd find a source of income to tide me over, so I have some breathing room. But I guess you're already doing that.

How will you look at this experience in 5 years?

[LifeFirst]

I am trying to find a source of income.....

the problem is that I can't even find that.

I tried restaurants, cleaning janitor, cashier....and nothing.


I don't know what else I can do.

Maybe delivering newspaper....but I've yet to find an ad for it.

[Grandiouse]

Hang in there. It sucks you got into the confrontation with that guy, but don't let it get you down too much. Stay positive and good things will come to you.

[Truseeker]

I totally agree with Ellie. Often when things go completely wrong as in the first interview where you couldn't find the location for the job interview it usually means the universe or your higher self, intuition, whatever you want to call it is telling you the job isn't right for you (which in the end you found it wasn't). I have a lot of difficulty in believing that LOA is as simple as people say. I think there are many other factors that come into play, such as free will, karma, life's purpose, etc. I believe that there are situations when what we try to manifest just won't work because it is out of line with your true purpose, not in your destiny, or just plain bad for you. Yes, I do believe that positive thinking and focusing on what you want will attract things, so I don't totally discount the whole LOA theory because there is a lot of merit to it, but relying solely on it just doesn't make sense. Maybe the universe is trying to teach you something... tell you something... If you haven't already, try mediating to find the answer. I wish you well!
