Interviews that will end up with a choice to be made.

In order to get a better working environment as well as the job itself, I've decided to quit my current job..

So happened a friend of mine, Lina, told me that there's this hotel that opened job vacancy. I looked through it and I applied for the job (yeap, this is the one I was talking about before).. Then last week, I so happened again, bought a local newspaper (to kill the time during office hour on Saturday). Then I saw a job vacancy offered at Silk Air, but as an Accountant. Without further thinking, I was already planning to apply for this job. So this week (on Tuesday), I went to the Silk Air's office to give my CVs. But they closed already by the time I reached there, and the bell boy was kind enough to offer me help to give it to them on the next day. And again, without further thinking, I gave it to him (was a bit worried though if he was not going to give it. hehe. But still have to be positive.). And I got called on the next day (so he did give it to them =D) for an interview. And I went on day after. The people are friendly incl. the boss, who's a Catholic Singaporean Chinese. The interview went well and they seemed interested to recruit me (x kidding =D).

Anyway, they called me again on the next day for a second interview. Again, it went well except when it comes to the salary. I was kinda surprised that a company like Silk Air offers a low range of salary :|. We basically dealed with everything except for that.. but they'll to nego with the Singapore office (at least that's what they said).

OHh, before I went for the second interview, I actually called the hotel manager where I applied before :) And he asked me to come for interview as well. So yesterday, I had 2 interviews, airline vs hotel. I was offered a position as a GRO and it seems interesting as well, except the working hours. You know hotel = flexibility..

Haven't been sleeping well for the past 2 days because of this! :( cos I am afraid that I might make a not-so-right decision for myself.
Even after discussing with my parents, both have different opinions, OH! but basically, my dad also thinks that both careers are good. I got even more confused then..

I have told my boss about my plan to quit and he said he will get back to me next week (after telling the big boss first).

And while I was waiting for some interviewees to answer some questions on the paper (my company had interview this morning to look for a finance staff, that's why also I told him earlier this morning so that he could prepare for another one to replace me), I decided to pray Rosary. And while praying and asking for direction, I felt that hotel would be a better choice for me, despite all the over-time and flexible working hours. Although I might not be able to serve in the church, but there was this thought.. "I might not be able to serve in the church, but serving can be anywhere, including in my workplace. When I serve people with love, I serve God too, because that love also comes from God.." Is it right? Let me know if it's a wrong thought. :)

I hope if I am really going for hotel in the end, it'll be a better choice.. (although I'll miss those free tickets to Singapore! :(

Next Tuesday going to meet the GM of the hotel while the airline, will only be around Friday since the people in Spore are on holiday - CNY!

I am going to rest my mind for a little while during this weekend (hopefully) and just have fun with family and friends =D
Let the stress only come back next week! hehe.

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Chinese New Year!!! ^_^
Go get lots of LOVE and lots of ANGPAO!!!!


God bless!
