I can't make up my mind yet

• Today

My friend called again today to ask for the answer. I turned down the offer, but she still ask me to reconsider and will call again tomorrow for my final decision. She really wanna help. She knew that I wanted to get back to my old company again. And for all this while, she and some others ex-colleagues have been trying really hard to get a position for me. They knew that i wanted an admin job. So whenever there is an opening in any department for admin position they will recommend me. In fact there are a few concerns that stopping me from accepting this offer. I will blog after it in my next writing......

Actually i had attended a few interviews in my ex-company after i left the company three years ago. In fact, i managed to get an offer for admin assistant position from my ex-manager in April 2005 ( 8 months later after i left my ex-company). She offered me the position once she knew that i am the candidate. She know me well and very sure that i am the right person to assist her and her team in clerical and admin task. I was really delighted and was thankful. But to my surprise, i failed the Medical Check up which required all the permanent stuff to go through before the HR can pass you the offer letter. I think it was due to excitement and lack of sleep the night before the medical check up, my blood pressure was shooting and the doctor failed me for the examination. But the doc said just let the management to decide whether to take me or not. Anyhow this is luck.....i can't blame anyone as i know that my "Blood pressure reading at the border line". It was just my luck that the reading shooting high on that day.

So end up, i was rejected by the management due to my health is "unfit". I was really sad, disappointed and devastated. It was like i was put "sentenced to death". I was upset that my ex-manager did not fight for me. If she would convince her general manager to take me, i would get the job. So think back of it, who would sacrified her career and relationship with the upper management just because an admin. Right?

So i got a call on 1st of April 2005 from HR manager that my offer was pulled back. So it became the biggest "joke" i had never ever encounted before in my life.

A few month back, my friend brought me a good news again. There was an admin position in another department from my ex-company again. It was quite high post as the sucessful candidate got to serve the VP of that department. So, i went for the interview again.....by now you should know the answer right? Yes! i failed again. Before the interview, i was told that it was a very competitive position as a few high potential candidates were applying for the post. And the hiring VP was quite demanding. So now you know, it is really hard to get an admin position in MNC. Those who sucessful get the job, seldom left the job unless there is something worth she make the move.

I hope i did not bore you......
