I know…I am such an idiot…I’m an asshole…I always know how to talk…but never walk my talk…I never have the courage to respond to GOD’s breakthrough for me. Whenever, something big comes my way…I just back off. Now…my strategy is to go through one day at a time and to keeps things simpler. I lost this one good opportunity and I don’t know when the next one will turn up. Nonetheless, THANK YOU GOD, PRAISE TO THE LORD, BLESS YOU GOD – because it reaffirms to me that GOD is there for me and there are new positions that I can take up in the near future, even though the opening ratio percentage is very small.
My Prayer Points were:
(1) GOD, please bless me with a new job >> being a buyer…I know that I can’t be a buyer forever. Buyers; either remain as a buyer, join the suppliers or do their own business. Opportunities to earn are in abundance…however, to switch and to do something totally different, the chances remain very slim. I call up my Headhunter last month, with due efficiency, the Headhunter got me a job with this American company. Even, the Headhunter complimented me that I am ready to move on. This is a very good chance. Everyone will be shock on how I manage to secure this position with this reputable company.
(2) I would like to do analytical, research, management, consultancy & advisory role, and a little bit of branding, communication, marketing, trade marketing & media >> the job description fits in very nicely, even though I may need to meet up with the retail buyers to discuss my proposal.
(3) I want a RM8,000 salary per month >> the company agree, they even provide me with the same handphone allowance as I am getting currently, plus 2 months of contractual bonus, and other very good benefits as well. If Saturday is a public holiday, Friday will be the replacement holiday. If Sunday is a public holiday, Monday will be the replacement holiday. The Headhunter also mentions that it is always the case where the principal company always has the budget and can reward its staffs better.
(4) I want to move up to do corporate communication, corporate strategy, corporate planning & corporate management in the later stage of my career >> I sat for an online test and went for 2 interviews. First, with my future immediate Manager and the second one was with my future Director. They have been with the company for a very long time. But unlike with the previous company that I have work for, where one employee will just sit in one position or in one department forever, in this American company, they move around to learn new things and for personal development.
(5) The furthest I will drive is to Empire Gallery, Subang – this company is situated in PJ, Section 14. Not really that bad after all.
(6) I want the options of being able to work from home or flexible working hours >> the company doesn't have that at the moment. Nonetheless, their working hours are from 8.30am till 5pm is also just fine with me.
And as usual, I did well for the test & interviews, the Headhunter told me that they like my personality and the Manager only commented that I must know how to sell myself well. So, when it comes to the final decision making process – time after time – I failed. I didn’t take up GOD’s blessings. I prayed, GOD provide, I screw everything up. After I have rejected the offer, the Headhunter said that both sides are keen and the Headhunter is trying to make things happen. I said that I am taking up a lot of the projects at the moment (which is true), plus I also don’t want to leave Ursula hanging in the air, even though I know that Ursula can handle it very well, with or without me, and…I just want to have one success story for 2014 before I close the year. I don't want to leave as a loser or a quitter. I want to leave as a champ. I want to try before leaving. I want to see the results; whether it's good or bad. I already told myself that this year will be my last year. Whether I succeed or fail, this will be my final destination. I also didn’t expect the Headhunter to be so efficient. I said that I would like to start the new job on 1st July. The Headhunter said that it is also good for me to settle down everything before I start a new and will try to persuade the company, but there is no news so far…so I guess, the answer is no, tak jadi lor. Padan muka me :( Anyway, who am I for this company to wait for me. They are a big company and I am just a nobody.
Ask and you shall receive. I know, GOD has already granted it to me.
Sigh…now, I also don’t know when the next one will turn up. Right now, I am not going to look for any new job. To get my timing right, to have and to create 2014 success stories – I will start looking for a new job in November because by then, all of the planning has already been done & completed, only the store operations part and the 2015 CNY – by then, Ursula already have the experience to handle everything by herself. I can leave in peace.
