:: resignation ::
I've finally tendered in my resignation, on 7th March 08. It was truly a mixed feeling for me because I've kind of settled in and I have great friends and colleagues to work with. But why the shift?
First reason would be because of my job scope. I just plainly don't like what I'm doing. I feel I'm like in the Misc. dept. Get the drift? I do not have a proper job scope, and it's so difficult to explain to people what I'm really doing. :P I tried to give myself a chance, but sigh...
Secondly would be because like the saying goes, "never put two eggs in the same basket". This is what my previous boss in Damonqi told me. And yes, the company is not really doing well, so it's kinda risky for the both of us to be in the same co. (Of course, this is just an excuse used for my main reason of leaving, but in actual fact, it is not the main cause :P).
Thirdly, I have always wanted to go back to the position I held before I came over to Spore. Even though it was barely half a year I was in that position, I find it pretty interesting (even though the workload is perhaps 2-3x more than what I'm currently doing now) and challenging, as well as I get to broaden my scope of knowledge.
Fourthly, I prayed and waited for His own timing to grant me the said position I wanted, and yes, He did it! I went for 3 different interviews. The first one was so close, yet so far, and I was kinda mad at Him that I literally "sulked". Second one was a big no-no for me. The interviewer sent shivers to my spine. And finally, the third one, the interviewer was so fatherly, and he did tell me that my experience is not enough, and so I actually just surrendered it to God, and didn't apply for anymore jobs after that last interview. Partly I was kind of tired going through it emotionally, and disappointed after each interview.
And that, I guess was the turning point because 4 days after the third interview, the HR called and negotiated with me about the salary. I was confused at first because I thought I didn't have the chance for it; and he told me that among the other candidates, the hiring manager wants to consider me. Wow. I was just doubtful at what He can do and what are His plans for me. Not only that, the hiring manager is also a believer. That's bonus for me.
Praise the Lord that He truly provides especially when we're at the lowest; and most importantly when we let go and surrender it to Him.
May His name be glorified forever and ever. Amen.
