Fresh Start

Written by Fiz

Today, I decided once and for all that I am going to give up on my dream of working in the golf industry in Dubai. It was a very hard decision to make considering how much I love working in this industry but let's face it - I cannot go to work anymore knowing that I am being screwed moneywise. (plus Im sick of hearing false promises and false words from my employers regarding increments or bonuses).

Its a great industry to work in but my gawd - it is one of the worst paying industry in Dubai! Enthusiasm and passion for this game can only last me so far. I refuse to be one of my other colleagues who have grown bitter about their job, their passion for golf and their love for this game. True story. Ive seen at least 4 colleagues in this industry, who are terrific golf players but gave up on the game and grew bitter about it. (you should see one of them swing, omg, its a bloody beauty).

Although I rather go back to a golf job in Perth - I have decided to stay on in Dubai because Daniel wants to stay on. So I'll stay.

If I get a better paying job, at least I can still play my golf. At the moment, the thought of entering any tournaments or social games that cost money actually puts me off!

So the field is open!! Im thinking of sticking to sales and customer service, which I know I am good at - and maybe have a hand at hospitality?! tourism?! leisure?!

Now if only I have the inspiration to write a fantastic cover letter. So far, my drafts sound lame. LOL. Or is that an indication that I am not ready to leave the game that I love?
