Jobs Jobs...

I was at work till 4am on friday night again..and also the night before, which means i was at work on 3 days out of my five days of leave.. means i only took 2 days.. gosh.. means i've brought 10 days over from 2005 to 2006. I'm going to ask to encash my leave..

siong leh..

Before leaving on friday night, or rather saturday morning 4am, i asked my boss if there's any chance there'd be bonus this year. he said he'll be surprised if i didnt get any this year.. WHOPPEEE!! so happy.. first time im getting bonus.. dont wat it'd be like..

jobs jobs.. seems like quite a few ple i know are disgruntled with their jobs.. yokie jus quit her job after 1 mth, iRis is thinking of looking, iamshitfong knows his exact resignation date, ad is also looking, Powto sent me her resume but she prob wont get hired, jo thinks her job is killing her and my sis seems to have some probs at her new place.

so difficult to find a job you like. I promised iRis i'd tell her how i got my job and since i dont know when i'll meet her again to tell her, i think i'll do it here..

When i was job hunting, i sent my resume to all the consultancy houses cos i knew for the longest time that i wanted to be an analyst. Didnt really want to look for a marketing job cos i didnt think i spoke very well and i'd hate to meet sales quotas. after some weeks, i was a lil desparate cos no one seemed to be asking me for a second interview. Then one day, one of the consultancy firms called me and said he had a temp job for me. Full pay but w/o medical benefits for 3 mths temp... he said there'd be an option to go on permanant basis if there was enough workload. I rem being swayed towards it liao. He gave me one week to think it through.

I decided to email a couple of the other firms to see if there're any responses. Quite promptly, the company which turned out to be the one which won my heart called me (hereafter known as "Company"). i remembered the exact time and location i was at when i received the call. I was at a computer fair at around 5pm..The MD called me and said he was in NY which meant that it was 4am o 5am there. "Gosh" i thought. He said he'll need to come back n discuss with his colleagues first before getting back to me. but by the time he was back, it'd be past the one-week deadline by the other company. I was in a dilemma.

im too lazy to type more... more will follow...
