future... where are you?
Wednesday, May 06, 2009
While the news mentioned xx% of students who graduated last year remains unemployed, the recent events that occurred made me wonder the degree of truth in such reports. Is it a gimmick for firms to lower their starting salary? Is it really happening in S'pore?
3 job offers.
different pay range. different job scopes.
yet i chose the one with the lowest. Isnt salary really important to me? I kept questioning myself. That question made me sleepless for a couple of nights. Talks with elders like my aunt and professor made me rethink and rethink. scope, salary, progression. what do you really want? why commit yourself to a contract with penalty? and yet at the same time i wonder... why are they so keen to hire me? was i the only one who applied for the job? was it my school/character/experience/achievements? guess i must have done something right during the interviews then.
oh wells.
as i type i considered the options again. but too late. i've committed myself to one and there shall be where i would be for the next couple of years (i hope). fingers crossed. i dont seem to have much enthusiasm left anymore. many rejection calls to make tomorrow. i feel horrendously bad.
that's life i guess. a new chapter that i will soon familiarise myself with. till then....
