In Search Of....

Still searching for a new job...

Have an average of 2 interviews per week.. Got a job offer, but rejected it.. Haha..

The job offer was for HR Executive.. But the compensation package sucks big time..

Initially, I was willing to just work for just $1,800 per month.. After after looking at the contract, I nearly fainted...

It was like giving me only 15 days of annual paid leave.. Then I need to submit 2 months in advance for resignation...

The thing really looks like a pay package for diploma holders rather than a degree holder.. Besides, the 2 months thingy is going to lock me in..

With the experience of the HR manager (well, he talked for hours), I thought that he should know better.. Or maybe he just wants to those fresh graduates who doesn't know the market and doesn't know how to think for themselves..

Kaoz.. I have been working for years and I think that package is the lousiest... Besides, I have some knowledge that that industry is almost a sunset industry in Singapore liaoz.. Because it is in the manufacturing industry, it's bound to move out to cheaper countries within the next few days... If it doesn't, it will lose its competitive edge in terms of cost and pricing over the short to middle term...

After rejecting, I went back home for a nap.. Then I checked the JobsDB website for new openings.. I saw a familiar advertisement..

Same company, same email, same post.. Offering $2,200 for the same position.. I was really cursing and swearing... Kaoz.. I guess on the external, I look like an idiot to people... Freak..

Well, I am moving on... Got interviews next week with a local bank and a marketing position with a Taiwanese-based computer and electronics giant.. Haha..

Initially, I was so blur.. The PC company emailed me asking me to go for an interview on the Aug, 9... Getting excited, I just immediately responded, agreeing to the time and date given..

I told my parents about the interview on the 9th Aug.. Then... After a few hours, my dad asked me.. "9th Aug is national day leh.. Public holiday leh.. Got interview meh???"

I was like.. -__-"

I immediately sent another email asking them about it and requesting a change of dates.. Haha.. Still waiting for replies...

But the two openings for next week is something that I think I really want.. To be an assistant branch manager or to be a marketer.. Haha..

Think I'm more interested in being a marketer for the PC market.. Cause I have a lot of interest in the PC market mah.. Then hor.. Dunno leh.. But I like the idea of being a marketer.. Maybe because in events, can employ chio models and then... Muahaha.. Ok.. It's crap.. I just have a genuine interest in marketing, expecially in the area of computers...

Well, I am really rotting at home now.. Going through newpapers, job websites and company websites in search of a job...

Don't know when will I stop rotting.. Haha... Can't stand being home and doing nothing..
