A move in career

This entry should originally appear on 26th Oct 2007.

It took me 3 months before I actually gave up and decided that I need to leave the job, and after which, I took another month or so to go through job ads every saturday until I found a perfect job.

I sent that particular resume on a saturday, and my new boss emailed me late sunday night. Although I am constantly online, I didnt get to see that email the same night. The next day, he called me and we had a quick talk over the phone, then we arranged for an interview the same friday.

The interview was informal, and we chatted without restriction, just like how we will speak with friends. I laughed unresevedly at his jokes, and smiled as he fished out his children's pictures and smiled adoringly.

He told me about this company that he founded. He warned that it is a small setup and I will be expecting a lot of work when I start work. Within the same meeting, he decided that he will hire me and I was astonished.

My immediate reaction was that he must be joking, and I do not have the calibre to join such a promising company, abeit small.

He assured me that he have the confidence in me, and with proper guidance, I will definitely make it. He told me that the ideal candidate for the job is someone who would work hard with his company, and want to see the company grow as much as he do. It is not so much as the skills, but the willingness.

I am eager to be able to work with him, and at the same time, I am really worried about how I can cope in this new job.

But I am sure I can survive! By putting in the same amount of effort as I did in this current job, I am sure I will manage. Aja aja hwai'ting!!
