i resigned without a job, thinking that i can probably get a long break. meanwhile, i did continue to send out my resumes once a while.

anyway, lucky me. i managed to eventually, which means forsaking my family genting trip (they set off today!!), let alone the Japan trip which we were talking about. i felt bad actually, coz we were all so eager to finalize the trip asap.

but anyway, i am happy that i got a job! here's my company:


my position starts off as a contract staff. i think that's the norm now, coz employer wants to see if you can work. in my personal opinion, if you can't, probably they can say contract's up instead of highlighting to you that your performance sux. HAHA! but of course, there are cases where the company is indeed unable to get a headcount or that they only require someone in for a specific period of time to clear some stuff.

oh well, im not really that bothered. if they are not converting me to permanent staff, then probably i can take my long break then.. rest a while.. hehe!

even though i sincerely prefer employee engagement / relations than staring at numbers alone every single day, i think i am comfortable. i got a very caring and nice boss, who will always remind me not to work OT (because i will be required to work OT for Sep & Oct. so she is trying to minimise my OT now). and i got nice HR colleagues too. people from other departments, not so sure, since i dont really get to interact with them.

my job scope is so different from what i used to be doing for the past 7 years. back then in my previous 3 companies, there were always alot of humane work to be done like talking to HODs / employees, coordination and liaising work. i am liked, most of them on the phone or watsnot.

but now, i am facing tonnes of spreadsheets everyday. i am either flooded with words or numbers - choose one. right now, is more of doing consolidation rather than analysing data. i wish my boss teaches me the analysing part like now? but she prefers me to take things at a time - pick up the foundation first, understand the organisation departments and positions, what they do, etc and from there, try to build up my mental skills in analysing.

i guess im just the impatient sort, who wants to fly before i even learn how to crawl. i cant stand myself not knowing things (how it works, etc) i ought to know for my role. i simply wana know everything! LOL

ok, anyway, God bless me for my job~
