when u have so many offers...
I dunno whether I should feel happy when the company which I had went for the two rounds of interview called me on Monday to tell me they are offering me the position. I had to be honest with them and tell the HR that I wish to start work in Mid Jan only, instead of a month later. Meanwhile she said she will checked with the department and asked me to fax over my payslip, telling me that we will talked again after she get the details .
“detail?”
“Your pay?”
So I guess she must be thinking I may not be interested after with the pay they will offer.
Saw J online, and finally told him abt the name of the organization which is offering the job. He was sort of in the same boat as me, we both happened to apply for different positions under the same organization in July and were only told to go down for interview months later. Should I said he is more lucky, his interview was held earlier than mine and he was offered a position last month.
Was telling him I don’t wanna loogee my bonus cos it is near to year end already, and furthermore I had just submitted 2 more applications last Friday morning cos I din expect to be selected. Expect a headache if the two companies start calling me during these period.
Went to consult a few friends. And all of them seems to think the best way is to try to get convince the organization to late me start work next year.
Well, I dunno if they ‘d…
Then on Tues morning, I saw an email from one of the 2 companies (which I had submitted my application forms to), asking me to go down for an interview. Woah, I just submitted last Friday and their response time is so soon!
Then came the call from the 1st Organisation’s HR, offering me a pay with I had stated as “expected salary” during the interview. Haha maybe I should had asked for more then. But when I asked the HR abt the situation regarding my starting date, she’d mention she will need to check again.
So I was like feeling rather vexed, cos I dunno what is the best decision to make.
And guess what. There came a call from the 3rd company ( yes, the other company which I had submitted my application form to) asking me to go down for interview scheduled on the next day. Told her I can’t make it in such a short notice and she mentioned she will get back to me again.
There my headache grew bigger…
I tried to make the light out of it by joking to my friend :”How come I so popular arh?”. But then I really couldn’t laugh at my own joke…
Then HR of 3rd Company called again, saying they had arranged me for an interview schedule on the same day of the interview which the 2nd company had scheduled (and at different timing).
Haiz!
Suddenly thought of the song that Jonathan Leong sang at the idol finals.:
“Should I stay, Should I go”.
Should I stay for a few months to get the bonus,
Should I go for the offer
Should I go for the interviews?
Time trickling away. 1st organization have not get back to me yet. I went to apply my leave , but still unsure if I should have done so. Cos what if 1st Organisation called back to say they are ok with me joining them in Jan?
烦啊!
Then 1st organization called, saying that the latest I can join them is 18 Dec, cos one of the staff is taking maternity leave, and ask me to think abt it.
Haiz seems like it is not negotiable. Perhaps they think they had given me the best offer by giving me the salary as I had stated to them.
Kind of tired abt this whole process cos it seems to be a waste of my time and I don’t want them to think I am wasting their time too.
Forget abt it lah. Shall focus and pray hard for my other interviews.
Shall see what fate plans for me….
