Unemployed—Again.
A few days ago, I posted a blog in my Multiply site asking my friends for help. That blog was concerning my career and my current job at that time (which is now, sad to say, an ex-job after only two days). The blog went like this:
HELP!
I am in a difficult situation right now. I need your advice, friends.
Thank you.
As you may have heard from me or read from my blog, I am already working as a Risk Analyst for SGS Philippines. The job is good, the company is very stable, and the work environment is relaxed. However, the pay is really low, but the benefits are more than those given by other companies. I like the job already, though I have another problem with it: I don’t feel challenged.
To add more crap to the dilemma, I will be having my FINAL FINAL FINAL interview tomorrow (after three months of processing) before I get accepted at Accenture. Well, it’s not a secret that Accenture is one of the highest paying BPOs in the Philippines. If I get accepted there, I’ll be able to reaaallyyyyy pay for my luho and my utang. (Hehehe.)
AND… To add even more crap to the dilemma, I will be having my final interview tomorrow (yes, same day!) before I become part of Chiz Escudero’s office. I feel sure of the job already, and I’d like to believe the interview is just for formality. The starting pay is good, excluding the bonuses and allowances that the Senate is known to be galante of. And yeah, I really want to work in Senate. *sigh*AND, the biggest crap of all is that I asked permission from my boss this afternoon if I can file for half-day tomorrow because I need to do something. She asked me what I need to do, I stammered (because I was lying, hahaha). Of course, she said no.
I asked my mom what to do over the phone (haha, I’m here at Red’s), she told me to go home so we can talk about it. HELP!
I got overwhelming response from my friends, most of whom know where I am more inclined to be productive. Of course, the Senate job won their votes, but I have realized just now that there is more to that job than its face value. I would no longer elaborate on that, for reasons that could be damaging to my reputation, and those of other people involved.
For everyone’s information, I went to both interviews. Both interviews gave positive results. Right now, I am waiting for Accenture to call me for the job offer. Honestly, the waiting is grueling. I get all these crazy ideas on my head—what if I don’t get called for the job offer? What if I don’t find a new job again in another few months?
As of the moment, I am again a bum. Yes, I am unemployed—again. I have taken a great risk, and I know I didn’t fail. I am no longer connected to SGS after only two days in the post. It may seem like a bad move, but I have faith that I made the right decision. Still, I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
