Thinking about changin my job.
have been going for interviews. Some job interviews are really tough, they drilled and drilled. asked really irrelevant qns and and stupid really tries to piss you off. but such cos are bigs cos, T related cos. so strange and stupid, ask wat my hobbies are. like if i enjoy drinking and getting drunk everynite, i will tell them!
went to a interview today. really great one. it was like an exchange, conversation between the interviewer and me. and i feel really great after that. i feel that i am getting the respect i deserve for my maturity and accomplishment
Would you choose a job that is:
a) well-established co, confirmed good prospects, really expanding, but make you feel like the are drillin you all the time; or
b) smaller co, but profit making and expanding too, make you feel like a human again?\
oh damn, i hate travelling for work. why all these jobs require travelling despite i am in such 'back offcie'? -

I would have to go for option A, especially if I am a fresh grad. When it comes to accumulating related job experience in your desired field, in my opinion, it would be better to obtain it from a reputable firm or even an MNC, just for the "namesake".Originally posted by blu_sky:Thinking about changin my job.

No time, damn my job ;p -
I have been in reputable firm/cos all my life. I've been accumulating gd credentials. My CV looks great, in accordance with the head-hunter.Originally posted by Paradise Lost:I would have to go for option A, especially if I am a fresh grad.

But, i am abit tired. thought of finding a job and juz semi-retire there. then job B will be more suitable.
But then again, every one is telling me im too young to semi-retire. i dunno. i am tired.... -
how young is blu_sky again ah?
I look for the human factor.
I only go for companies where have good work environment, peers, good boss, etc.
This are mostly small companies.
I guess its better than being treated as just a number or according to your title when in bigger companies. -
option 3, be your own boss, stay at home and shake leg -
That depends on what you prefer.Originally posted by blu_sky:Would you choose a job that is:

Do you want to be a small fish in a big pond with plenty of resources ?
Or
Do you want to become a big fish in a small pond that is growing but tight on resources ?
Travelling is good when you are still young and with not much commitment.
You should be happy you get to travel.

YOu think be own boss so easy meh. Anyway, i think for my profession, be own boss, too onerous. so that is never my aspiration.Originally posted by allentyb: option 3, be your own boss, stay at home and shake leg -
All my life, i have been tiny fish in big ponds. Nothing to complain about, but just these interviews, these interviewers getting on my nerves. When i see the difference between the 2, i suddenly dont mind working in a smaller company. strange. first time in my life i have this feeling. i have always been one who climbs the corporated ladder in big organisations. maybe cos the interviews in the smaller cos make me feel myself and respected, not scrutinised under 10 magnifying glasses at one time, and purposely agitated and be pissed. or maybe i am just older. or perhaps i am tired? i dont knowOriginally posted by jojobeach:That depends on what you prefer.

I love to travel, but not for work. It has been a fallasy for many that travelling for work is fun, but trust me, it really isnt. -
Freelance? hah! money too little. honestly, how much freelance earn in the long run? i will only consider that if i m married and have kids and want to spend more time nurturing my kids.Originally posted by angel7030:Aiya, be freelance better, why need to look at people face and earn a paid that have to be share. -
The interviewer has good PR skills and probably know how to motivate workers. I could choose based on what i like to do and most importantly the environment that i am in, my boss.Originally posted by blu_sky:Thinking about changin my job.

I don't mind both really. Both seems to have good prospects but i don't like the drilling all the time. -
Yes, i will think he has gd PR skills, though such skills are not so common in my profession. MAybe thats why we hit it off cos we are both the few people-oriented kind in our field.Originally posted by Isis:The interviewer has good PR skills and probably know how to motivate workers.

Can you imagine wat one of the key interviewers from the bigger co was doing during the interview? he was playing with his mobile phone all the time, even when others are talking.
well, what to do, he is a really senior, high ranking person.
I think i can learn more in the bigger co, i will learn something so new but i am really not confident. Well, even the interviewers are not confident of what needs to be done actually.
AS for the smaller one, mainly doing what i am doing now, but, pay rise is nice. -
mm it seems that you are eyeing the bigger company. Anyway have u gotten both job offers from both companies?Originally posted by blu_sky:Yes, i will think he has gd PR skills, though such skills are not so common in my profession.

Compare the pro and cons of both companies and weigh them accordingly.
Anyway, at the end of the day. U gotta ask yourself what do you really want? -

The perceived glamor doesn't justify the sacrifices.
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you freedom.
You have to live with your choices. May you have no regrets in whatever path you decide to take.
Personally, I would prefer to live in a big pond. Because like everyone else, I am just a nobody. -
If i were you , i would choose B, the pay is good and expanding but it makes you more human my fren..Originally posted by blu_sky:Thinking about changin my job.

Nothing is better than what makes you human and felt respected.. for that , i believe you can perform the best of you.. its the truth,, sometimes its not bout how much the salary or how big is the company, the feeling of respected is very important.. and for that im still in this company cuz i felt respected even though i did many mistakes. My superior is my biggest inspiration of staying in my company.. it is he who make me feels human.. I dont thk i will able to get any superior as good as he is..
Plus my MD and chairman always being an encouraging to me. They dont really scold me if i did anything stupid, they will constantly advice me of wat shud improve instead of telling me stupid or watstover that hurts me
Felt respected anyway..at least -

oh damn, i hate travelling for work. why all these jobs require travelling despite i am in such 'back offcie'? Actually we often find ourselves trapped in such quagmire all the time.
We are stuck because we always try to quantify happiness and fulfilment based on numeric remuneration and eventually realised that it doesn't balance - which is why we are stuck.
Your choice will reveal, at this current stage in life, what you really seek.
A woman vying for top positions in the highly stressed corporate world will usually find themselves drained out faster than man - not because women are the ‘inferior sex', but rather because in competing, women have to turn on their 'masculine mode' and work with that dimension of energy level for a vast period - through managing, commanding or simply being aggressive in her line of work just to be goal oriented. Over a considerable amount of time, the spiritual flow within the woman will be disruptive as the 'feminine aspect' of herself becomes inane.
Do what you need to make you feel human and natural.
The ironic truth about life is that when we are young, we worked so hard for money, just to use those money to buy back our youth. Perhaps in that sense, we should always opt for the happier choice.

Yep, I too, travel quite abit for work and it sucks big time! Would rather travel for leisure anytime. Tough.Originally posted by blu_sky:All my life, i have been tiny fish in big ponds.
