Everyone’s thinking of resigning and I’m here contemplating whether I should attend interviews and try to get an offer at least. I updated my Jobstreet profile and browsed a couple of postings two nights ago, applying to this one company which I really like, sounds really good, and is basically just a couple of buildings away from where I work. So far I’ve had 4 calls, including the one I applied to (yey) and even an overseas opportunity (omg). So yeah. Time to think.
My preferred company (the one I applied to) doesn’t really have any open position that’s fit for my current experience. But the HR said I have enough experience for this and this post so they’re inviting me for an exam. Which is the problem. Cos I already tried their exam 5 years ago and failed miserably. I don’t think I have enough braincells for their test. And chances are they’ll make me code the Fibonacci in C or Java, on paper. Just like 5 years ago. And I frkn can’t. Never in my (short) programming experience did a business requirement needed a similar algorithm anyway. But I know, I know, it’s really just to test me out. Waaaah Lord.
The other opportunity, the one that got me really excited, is an overseas one. This time the position is for something I have current experience in. Something I’m more confident in. During the call they told me about the country (it’s in Malaysia), their client budget (which sounds like an offer already but wtv), the cost of living there, how long I’ll be staying (1 year), and some other stuff. They told me to wait for an email but I haven’t received one, so I’m tryna get my hopes down. In any case, HOW COOL IS THAT?! 😀
I told myself I had to wait until I get married before applying to other companies because I can’t afford to have a downtime. But damn, times are hard. And being at the edge of the fence makes me want to leave for greener pastures.
Anyway. I have three things going on: 3 pending articles, 2 logo concepts, and my regular job (that I don’t even wanna count anymore cos I’m just out of mojos for it). In fairness, God has been truly gracious. I never had an ongoing writing job since 2009 (oDesk) so I’m really thankful I landed one! Next, I’ve never worked on a design project via organic leads so again. Thank you Lord!
Lastly, someone finally bought the Delonghi Multicooker I won from a blogging contest, so yeah. It’s been 3 months and I’m afraid the warranty will expire so yey for getting a buyer. It’s my first time to ship via bus cargo too so I’m kinda scared, but buyer paid first so I just gotta try it out. I didn’t even know it was possible to ship items via cargo. Well buyer has to pick it up at the terminal but that’s already plenty of savings given that I’m sending something too big and heavy.
So there. Wish my luck in a lot of things!
