Job interview

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.
