It is official and it has happened. I have officially resigned from my company and moving to something better. It was nerve-wrecking to tender, since its my first time, but it definately feels good doing it after.
Well... soon i'll be closing this chapter of my short career life and opening up a new one and hopefully a much better one. I can see my career path a little clearer now, on where I can move on to in the future.
Opportunities only come a few times and u need to grab hold of it. That's what I did and I'm glad i did. Coz because of this move, did i see what shit hole i was in.
Anyway, I'm glad of what I've done and I look forward to a brighter future!
SHAPE RUN 2006 I survived! Barely actually. With the lack in preparing for the run, coupled with a few muscle strains, I managed to complete the 10km run. The experience was thrilling and amazing. The sense achievement was great, I would have never imagined to clear that 10km mark.
Unfortunate thing was that I walked a fair bit in the race, the heat was too much, plus I had blisters and a sore left calve. But I did tell myself, no matter what, at the 6km mark I have to run all the way back and I did. My timing was acceptable; wasn't expecting too much of it. But I definately would want to beat my timing at the upcoming Standard Chartered Run.
I must say there are alot of healthy and fit ladies out there. Such overwhelming response and there were a few who leisurely walked the entire stretch. Also, a big shout out to all the older ladies, you women are amazing!
Now, my entire body is aching but I think it's worth it. More 10 kms to come!!
Since my last post on job hunt, there have been a few progressions and to many it would be considered positive progressions. But, though some would be happy for me, I am not happy and contented at all.
Yes, I have an offer. Possibly two offers in a week. But both are something I don't quite wanna be in unless i have no other choice. You know the settle for it since you wouldn't know when you have such a chance again. But is it because the package is good that I shld move to an industry that would most prob seal my fate in my career and never do what i wanna do from the very beginning?
Shld I allow the fact that i have some people breathing down my neck telling me to leave my company now just to earn more $$. There have been a few changes in the organisation that I actually wouldn't mind "tahaning" till next year.
There's the hope of a pay readjustments and a change in job titles to match my work experience. Also, the upcoming projects which would beef up my portfolio.
Still i think i should be more patient to get something I want to work as or to work in a place which will lead me to where I would like to end up ultimately. The thing is this, if the offers came in when i first started work, maaybe i would accept it, but we're talking about 2nd career mover here, a move i dont want to regret and then leave in 6 months if i dont like tthe job. Too much at risk here. I think i need to know what i want and just seek that, rather than settle for something for the sake of settling for something.
At this moment, I really like to think I am correct in my thinking and that being patient is a good thing here.
