Tra la la...?
The past week has been a hectic one, cos I went for quite a few interviews. The stress is really on me now, because I am in a dilemma!
I've been offered a job! Finally!! A job tt pays well, a job at a good location, a job tt offers a scenic view, a job at an MNC (a well-known one). Sounds like a dream job? You bet.. BUT. I am actually contemplating over it. Because I seriously do not know if the shipping line is for me. Eric told me about his views abt working in the shipping industry. He told me it's a very mature industry, hard to find graduates like me. For him, he doesn't like it cos he couldn't find anyone whom he can talk to or relate with. I quote him.. "Those uncles talk abt golf, club memberships.. and they always gather to smoke together at the stairs.. and talk so loudly in hokkien. I have nothing in common to talk with them."
For me, the interviewer did tell me "to expect to see some blury big men who are the vessel planners. you will probably hear some swearing over there."And be prepared to work long hours.. "OT is guaranteed here. You dont have any committments tt require u to reach home at like 7pm right?"
Yes, pay is high, but the sacrifice is big too. I wonder if it is worth it to look just at the pay.. I probably wont be a happy person. But den again, I will never know until I try right? That's why I am in a dilemma. Furthermore, I am in the midst of interviews for 2 other companies offering me trainee programs. I dunno if I am making the right choice by giving these 2 chances, which I think I will be happier with.
If, at the end of the day, I reject the job and den fail the rest of the interviews, I can really go n dieee. sigh.. What a headache!
