Got a call on Thursday from a company where I went for interview about 5 weeks back. They offered me a job but wanted me to start work on the following Monday.

I suspected that somebody actually played them out by telling them he is not joining them the last minute and they are trying to scramble for a replacement, and since I am available immediately, they just called me. So the HR try to put together a contract for me the next day. What reinforces my view is that the HR asked me the fill in the personality profile test again. I told them that I thought I had filled in when I went for the interview, but the person try to give excuse that that time, my form cannot be profiled. How can this be? such test is supposed to cover all profiling as long as the person fill in a complete form, which I did. Therefore, the only explanation is that I am not their candidate, so that they just discarded my profile, but now has to fill in a new one for the record.

But what disturb me most is that while I was offered a permanent position, the probation period is 6 months. It is not the length of the probation, but I was told in the interview that this position was a contract position for 4-6 mths with a view to converting it into a permanent position depending on the situation and the performance. Is it that they afraid that if they offer a contract position I will not take it up and thus use a permanent position to set me up, so that at the end of the probation period, just do not confirm me? I hope not!

I have been praying to God in the past 1 mth for a job with RGM since ATH is there. But it turn out that the position is non-conclusive, and this job turn up instead. It is still a treasury job, but just that I have this uncertainty lingereing inside me. However, regardless of the situation, I am takingit up as it is the only option. Moreover, I may not understand why now, but God is in full control and I believe that He has a plan for me. Maybe this is THE job that can last me till 65! Furthermore, I am counting my self lucky that I can still find a job while there are thousands of people out there now facing unemployment, praise the Load!

I made a commitment that if I can have a job with RGM, I will contribute 10% of my pay to the church and charity, but even now, I will still do that as I understand that if God bless me, He wants me to be a blessing to others. I intend to set aside the money in a seperate account and ear marked it first, as I have this doubts about the situation, so I will use part of the funds as time goes, and set aside part of the funds as reserve till I get confirmed in my new job.
