Job interview
Went to an interview yesterday at Tanjong Pagar. The manager offered me the position immediately and even wanted me to sign the appointment letter on the spot. I told him calmly I need to go back and consider the offer, due to my many commitments. It's a very tempting offer, as the offered salary is very much higher than my current one! But in the end, I decided to decline their generous offer, because I don't think I can manage my studies together with a new job.
This job is a manager post, and the responsibility I'm going to carry will be greater than my current executive post. So I called the manager and gently decline their offer.
But the manager called me back in the evening again to ask me to re-consider again! Urgghhh.. He wanted to increase on my allowances as compensation. Oh my, oh my. I really don't know I got such potential leh! Maybe because they need people urgently and my current exposure of high secured premises is a leap advantage among other candidates, that's why they can offer higher pay to me.
But after a night's thinking and a chat with my sister, I decided to decline them again. Don't think it's fair to the company also, because I know I cannot put 100% of my attention on work as my studies is still on top priority now. Some friends thought I'm right in my decision, some wonder why I dun go for it because there won't be 2nd chance. I personally felt I should not let down my own principle lor..
--- With more money comes greater responsibility. This is so true.
