TRY TO SURVIVE

I told ya. I moved on.

Move on (In my own definition) is moving to a new place, Living a new/happier (hope so) life, Leave all the bad things and be a good people. 

Not everyone knows where am I now. Malas sia kasi tau bah mana sia pigi, nanti banyak soalan diorang (tapi balik-balik juga update di Facebook. Ha Ha!). I leave my hometown after my big brother suggested me to do so. He said, as long as I still there (mengenang nasib sama nangis-nangis on the unsettled matter) I will never get my new life, I will never get what I want in my life and I will keep on doing the thing I shouldn't do at the first place. 

So, I booked a flight (nasib murah saja time tu walaupun last minute!) and contacted my very helpful cousin and she is so kind to give me a place to stay and give me foods (dia kawin urang putih, jadi sia makan pasta & spaghetti almost everyday. Nice experience juga bah.) She even help in order to find a new job here - help me to search for vacancies, asked her close friends to bring me to interview, asked her few old-friends if their companies got any vacancies. She and her husband owned their own business, but no job suits me except I want to join the other ranger to go to forest and do research on the trees. 

And after 3 weeks, I started to panic because I still did not manage to get any job and the balance in my bank account is not so much. Luckily my previous company still gave me my last salary although I sent Resignation Letter for 1 month notice only (for executive Level,  I suppose to resign in 3 months notice) and to be exact, I only work for 2 weeks after the Resignation notice. I just wanted to thank my Lady Boss for being so supportive and understanding on my situation as she allowed me to leave early. In addition, I still receive invitation for Kaamatan Show in Sabah, and I flew back to Sabah for the event and the payment was good. 

Within the 3 weeks time, I attended 4 interviews - 

1. Marketing manager (for one big and famous Hotel) - but I never have any hospitality experience, so I didn't put so much hope on that job.
2. Marketing Executive (for Event Company) - The salary was small (around RM2K only) but commission is big if you can pull many participants. But I said the salary is not enough for me (I need to consider my existing monthly commitment too. Otherwise, I die lor). Some more, I am not really into this kind of job, to please people. Ha ha! 
3. Sales Executive (trading company) -  I choose to apply for this job because the tasks were almost like my previous job. Handling Quotation and so on. The salary also within my salary request. The interview went well.
4. Secretary for General Manger (for manufacturing company) - I dare to apply for secretary because I have a lot of experiences as a secretary - I considered as a secretary for my MD last time, secretary to the JKKK back at my kampung, secretary for one non-profit organization called POST's (artists of sabah) and secretary for few organizations too back in my university. The interview went well also and they even asked me if I want the marketing executive post to handle few jobs in Sabah.

On the 4th week of being jobless, there were still none of company give any feedback on the interview. I was a bit stress and sad. But I told my self, by hook or by crook, I must get a job by June. Jadi cashier sana Giant pun buli bah! Then, I applied all 'The secret' law on my mind. I said, I believe I will get a job soon. Then, suddenly I receive a call from Mr. Jun to asked me if I can accept their offer but salary is not really meet my expected salary. Tadaaa~! Hati bebunga-bunga trus la. Since the salary offered was within my expected salary, I said YES! The job offer was the no. 3 above (Sales Executive).

So, there goes my story how I survived in my new place. There's one quote saying "Trust God's timing". I couldn't agree more. I am grateful for eveything happened in my life.

On the 1st June 2015, I started my new job. And my new colleagues almost all chinese-speaking. Ha Ha! new problem in my life...but, Still I will survive. I know! 

Until next time.

P/S - I also being offered for the secretary job (punya campin kali sia tembirang masa interview tu) but I already accepted the Sales Executive. My advice to those people who still trying to survive, don't worry! Your good news will come soon. 

XOXO~
