A New Beginning, A New Job

Finally, I have thrown the previous blog in the annals of history. Looking back to the things that I used to write, I couldn't help but to feel as if I could scream at the writer, which was obviously me. I could dissect my own writings and tear it apart with ease.

I have left the Company after 7 years. Throughout the years, I have gained immeasurable troves of knowledge. However, year after year, I have started to feel too comfortable for my own good. Then, having associates that lacked emotional quotient (EQ) didn't help either. It hastened my decision to move on and shake up my entire career.

My decision to quit was made amidst the perception that the economy run as usual as I didn't detect any signs of recession whatsoever. The implementation of Good and Services Tax beginning April 2015 didn't seemed to factor much as hiring process could not possibly be affected by GST. And that was when I got it all messed up, big time.

I was jobless for 3 months and my entire savings, which was not that much anyway, depleted by May 2015. This was the time when I have to produce my portfolio for submission to all prospective employers. The first wave of employment application was sent out in early May and the second wave started about two weeks later. I have even utilised Jobstreet, my previous contacts, friends and what not. Then, the first interview came end of June and I was given the offer letter on 1 July.

I am still adjusting myself to the new environment. It'll take time but I am looking forward to greater heights.
