should i go for it ?
-
my ex-company has vacancy and asked if i want to go back. i have been working as casual worker for almost 2 years due to the financial crisis, so this is an opportunity to regain my "original status".
however, i have some reservations. the company had a change of management, so the culture is different now. i am afraid of being rejected by my ex-company if i apply for the job. i also feel embarrassed to let them know that i was merely a casual worker since i left the company years ago. in addition, i have a "phobia" of burn-out. i am afraid that if i take up the job, i may quit again.
currently i am picking up new knowledge and skills. if i go back, it would disrupt the new career development. nevertheless, if i stay with the new career development, there is no guarantee that it will take off due to competition and age. i was good at my last job, however as it's been a while since i was at it, i am not sure if i still have the passion to excel in it.
i have gotten used to the freelance lifestyle of a casual worker. i have a strong resistance against "losing my freedom" by taking up an office job. the drawback of casual work is the unstable income which a "proper" day job will be able to give.
what should i do ? apply or not to ? how do i break my inhibition ?

Go for it, the 'force' is weak in you.
Don't be lazy and slack around, but try your best to become a useful person in society.

If you don't try, you'll never know.
Keep going for it alright! Good luck!

If the job is really suitable for you, then go ahead. No harm trying it

working with full time cpf/ medisave is still better than nothing....
still worth to try it...because if u dun like,,,u can still go back casual....life should be more adventurous....

Always try not to go back to your ex-company, no matter how attractive.
You should move on in life.

actually i have mixed feelings going back. i wish i hadn't answered my ex-boss's phone call that day.. LOL
there was a reason why i left the job years back. now i am going back to do the same job :( if not for my ex-boss's call, i would have happily left my ex-company and moved on.
the only reason i am going back is instant gratification - it's like a life line pulling me to stability. though, for how long no one knows as the company just went through retrenchment. honestly, i am quite happy now and adjusting to my new life. a part of me wants to leave the past behind and move on. another part of me fears the uncertain future and wants to retreat to a place familiar.
two years of wandering in the wilderness has changed me as a person. i do dread going back to do the same old boring job.
