Fated

A week ago, I've got a phone call which puzzles me..Its a call for invitation to interview for an Accounts Executive position with a ship management company. I did not pick up the call as I tot it is 1 of Citibank/HSBC/DBS calls.

Later tat nite, when I checked my mail, I realised their HR had gone 1 step further by emailing me asking whether I am interested to go for an interview. Curious, I asked her that despite me not sending any resumes recently, how did she manage to get my contacts?

It turns out that I have previously applied to this company a yr & half ago and they had kept my information in their database, thus they decided to try and see whether I am interested to give a try or not.

I considered it for a while and decided to go for an interview. Afterall, I have nothing to lose from my end, and yes, I am keen to have a change of environment with the kind of shit plp I faced during work everyday. Thing is, I neber realli took action to find a new job as I tot the market is not as optimistic as before. I couldnt realli bear to take a pay cut..Besides, my current company pays me realli well for my position and with me holding an irrelevant diploma with a half completed ACCA cert.

But seriously, I dunno how sane I can stayed here...And so, I decided to go ahead for the interview, asking for a 10% pay increase and then wait and see what is their offer.To my surprise, they offered me the job with my expected pay..I was over the moon, its like abit surreal as I tot the expected pay was abit out of the range given my qualifications, but I guess oil & gas industry realli pays better..

I wait for a few days for the contract to be ready after they had offered me the job and finally, I got the official offer letter today..All these seems to be fate, just like I am not looking actively for a job and this offer came along becuz of the resume I send in last yr. Just as I am telling myself, I am not taking a pay cut and decided to ask for a higher pay, they are willing to do so for my position, Just as I could not stand the shits in my office, I am given a chance to get out of it.

I am realli grateful for this chance given as this position is a higher level as compared to my current 1 with more exposure in the finance dept. Also, it's a brand new start to get away from the witches I faced everyday at work, not knowing when its gonna be my turn to be sabo by them.

I hope that the colleagues here are much better than this current 1 but seriously wat can be worst den the current situation? Its 1 of the worst colleagues I ever met in my working life..

I thank god for the chance and will cherish it. Hopefully, I would be able to soar to the higher skies here. Wish me luck peeps..Gonna tender tmr ;)
