scrappy

i am once again reminded of my attempt to scrapbook…and seeing all the wonderful layouts online, i am so tempted to indulge in some shopping! there is still some amount of discipline left in me though, that i haven’t really given in to the lure. for now i content myself with the free kits i download online but they are so limited i crave for more of those accessories! here’s one i did using a free kit from Shabby Princess-Kristie_SF:

dilemma

once again, i find myself playing with life’s predicament! few months back i was ranting about not being able to find a job and a few weeks later i signed up for one, only to find out how i really don’t fit in the organization.

in less than a month after i signed up for this job, i started getting interview invitations from many other companies, but the one that got me really excited was when this UK-based recruitment agency (KL) finally noticed my CV. excited ako kasi alam ko malalaking companies ang client nila so I quickly accepted their invitation for me to come to their office and sign up a form. This step actually makes my profile active in their database, and according to their consultant, it will remain active there forever, so they would definitely help me find my next employer, it’s just a matter of time.

I went to KL’s office first week of May and it didn’t take long before they called and sent me for an interview with a client; the post is pricing specialist for a multinational IT company. On the same day that I went for interview with this IT company, I got a call from another KL consultant asking if I am interested in a planning analyst post for another MNC (let’s call it PM). Who am I to decline, huh?! After all, I am still not sure of my chances with this IT company.

Lucky me, I got shortlisted for the pricing specialist post and went for a 2nd interview on the same day that I went for my first interview with PM. The thing about this IT company though is that its office is about 30km from our place while PM’s office is just within our area. Besides, the salary indication at PM is about 52% higher than in IT. It’s so tempting (mukang pera kasi!).

Here goes my dilemma…the day after my second interview with IT (and my first with PM), the consultant called and said IT is offering me the job and since I am tempted to take my chances at PM, i didn’t commit with IT yet. Few minutes after our phone conversation, the other consultant called and said PM is inviting me for a 2nd interview (in demand ang lola mo, this time ). That made it even harder for me to decide cause I really wanted to go for PM but was not sure of my chances; today is my deadline to confirm or drop IT’s offer and PM’s second interview is yet to be scheduled this week. I had no choice but to forego IT’s offer since I feel PM’s consequences are more suitable for my situation.

Yun nga lang, with my decision to drop IT, i now run the risk of ending up with nothing if PM decides not to get me, aaw! bahala na, more updates soon!
