on the job side

sometimes when we all talk bout jobs, i feel like i can't fit in with the discussion. nobody seems to understand why i'm interested in the type of jobs i'm interested in, nobody knows anything bout it, nobody cares bout this sector. most of the time, i can't be bothered to explain either.

i can't help but feel that the level of community awareness and concern is pretty much lacking, or rather, not bothered, by pple my age. everyone's concern seems to be that of money, glamour, cars, practicality, profits.. blah blah. when pple start asking me wat types of job i'm applying for, they seriously go huh.

okies, in any case, things are looking a weee bit up on the job side. although it's only a temp one to start off with, i'm getting started nevertheless. :) whether my application is gonna be approved in the end (geez, all the govt red tapes and paperwork procedures), i'm glad i'm having the chance to try it out first, and if things do not turn out well or wateva, i'm just gonna start the jobhunt again. and besides, i have the mcys offer to fall back on. so all's good.

pretty happy with the way things turned out at mcys the other day. fate has it that i had to bump into my ex-director in the HR office, when there are like 18 storeys in the building, at the exact timing i was scheduled there too. he recognised me and asked to speak to me after the interview, and actually offered me a job in the division i used to intern in. gasp. and one of the interviewers from the panel also asked to have a chat with me, and she told me more bout the job, the dept, and actually offered me the job on the spot. i'm just really thankful for these options given to me, at a time when i really need them too. met up with my ex-supervisor and colleagues that day, and all the concern and advice from them really cheered me up, and i suddenly miss the time when i was an intern there. all the fun with the other 4 lovely interns, the care shown to us by the seniors, made the internship really so worthwhile. i rem at that time, the directors would jokingly tell me that when i grad in a year's time, they'd offer me a job in my division. i din know that they'd actually hold true to their words. gosh.

i really like the friendly culture in mcys. nevertheless i chose the opportunity in moe over mcys, and i'm really crossing my fingers that things would go well next week, since this is something i think i can find meaning in, and something that i really, really want to do for children. i dunno wat to expect yet, i just hope it turns out to be something along my vision and outlook. i'm really gonna go there with an open mind and heart, and see wat they have in store for me. if things dun go well, i know i have other options, and i shouldn't feel upset.

okies, now, it's really on to more catching up and enjoying life for the next few pathetic days before work week starts (8.30am days no less), and adjusting my sleeping clock asap, hopefully.

:)
