Whoa! Read through my past few entries and realised I really haven't been updating anything about my life properly this past month!
Am apologising to anyone who's counting on this blog to know what's going on in my life and will try to update on all the key events ya?
Am officially employed now by a company called Teledirect Pte Ltd as a customer service representative. We are the third party vendor for a rather prestigious company and I must say that I really have been enjoying myself these past weeks since I've started work. I have the most helpful, humourous, interesting, kind, amiable... (the list goes on) colleagues. I LOVE the products of my company. I LOVE the challenge of being a pioneer in my company and learning everything. Hmm... Think I've suddenly found back the competitive me after having that side of me be dormant for almost 11 years...
The only, ONLY, downside of my job is the pay. I'm not going to elaborate, but suffice it to say that it is less than satisfactory. As a result of that, I went on to an interview with another company today for a similar position. I have super conflicting feelings about this, I feel like a traitor (already) but at the same time I can totally agree with my colleagues on the issue. Asked for the advice of a few colleagues and they feel that we should always keep an eye open for greener pastures. They totally understand where I am coming from and they encourage me to stop thinking too much about it and just go ahead and take it a step at a time, fret about it only if I do get the new job.
To be honest, I really don't wish to leave my job. Though the location's bad (it's in Chai Chee Technopark), the whole environment, the colleagues, the bosses, the training, it's all tip top. I can truly say that I'm ENJOYING my work. It's tough though, with that pay, I'll want to continue to teach on the side, and it's really tiring to be rushing back every other day from the office. I'm hoping with a better pay I can stop the moonlighting, which aside from being tiring, makes me uncomfortable on the account that I am not fully committed to my actual job.
Still, though if I get the new job I'll be more comfortable financially, a small, tiny part of me wishes I'll fail in my application. If that happens, I won't have the dilemma anymore, will I?
