Have not been looking out for a job as I feel that there is no point. I don't think there will be anybody out there that will want to hire me, so did not border. A few serach form called me, went for 2 interviews, but as expected, both interview did not turn out well.

The first one, which I thought I got the job, turned out that they think I am too expensive. I cursed at them for I already stated my expected salary before the interview. So if that is beyond budget, than do not waste time calling me for interview.

The second is a total waste of time, as usual, need to entertain those arragont assholes in Temasek Holdings. They really think that they are superior than other people.

Another consultant called me, went for the interview, thought no chance, but surprise, surprise, they called me for 2nd round. While I am attracted by the job, I also attracted by the perceived power that comes with the job, given that I will be handling the banking relationship, and that the company is well wooed by the banks.

Unlike my current place, reporting to somebody who knows nothing in treasury, but just happen to be with the company longer and going accounting aspect. i was not even asked to attend the banker's meeting. When that happen, it mean that banker will think that you are not important at all, and thus make your life later very difficult. But what to do, until I find another job, just have to swallow my pride.

That is why I sort of hoping that I can get this job, so that I can retore some pride. And if I can be paid at what I am looking for at SGD8-8.k5, at least it will close the gap between me and my wife. The location of the workplace is not ideal, but having worked in places like Tuas, what other place can be worst? haha.

I asked my son to pray for me to be able to get this job.

Even if I do not get it, I think I will not feel terribly disappointed, since I did not have much hope in the first place, although now my hope increases by a little. With bonus coming in Aug, and hopefully my increment will be better. Last year's SGD100 increment is really a joke, in fact, I would say it is an insult. Never in my working career I get such misserable increment. With my added joint duties (needing to supervise 2 person, etc.), I hope the increment will be more respectable.

But the thing is that, the current job scope is not really what I would like to do, and also will not enable me to get paid more simply I am not paid according to what I know. I hope I can get the new job so that I can make use of my skill sets and also something I am more interested in.

I will miss my staff of course....

So I hope that my son can pray for me.

The year before last year, the feng shui master said that in 2011 I will get a promotion, either at current work place, or being hired to another place at a higher position. Well, this year is 2010, if I stay where I am, I do not see any promotion coming. Can it be last year when 2 colleague were made to report to me? I hope not, for I view that as a demotion, except that the other 2 colleague get demoted more than me, that's all.

So will this job, wich I do consider a bigger role compare to my current one, is the one? I do not know.........
