In nothing be anxious
Ok i think i am like stressing myself up for nothing now.
Today, i went for an interview at this oil trading petroleum company. Introduced to me by a friend who works there. Apparently, he's leaving his job, so they are hiring new staff to take his place. Well, i went for it since it was thru his offer, and i thought it wouldn't harm to just try it out and find out what it's all about. Just to cut the story short, i came out from the interview feeling really relieved it was all over. The job just isn't me. Technical, filled with numbers, equations, chemistry (my goodness), long irregular hours (pul-lease, i just want a job, not to be a slave), and there's a high chance of having to deal with Chinese clients who speak Beijing-accented Chinese?!?! Real lethal combination.
So the verdict: NO WAY.
I do appreciate J for offering me the job though. But on the other hand, i can't help but have this sneaking suspicion that he really wants to leave the company soon, so he is actively offering the job. Oh well. Dunno why but i just feel somewhat erm... "used" (lack of a nicer word... sorry... no offence lah...)
Well, after the interview, as i was waiting to meet EJ for coffee, i bumped into good ol' Randy. It was a real surprise, and i was even more surprised to learn that he had a 6 month stint with SIA as a steward! Anyways, we talked a bit and he shared about some tips on job hunting and all that. Man, apparently, the flat rate for fresh graduates now is 2.8k!
But i must confess, i am getting a little anxious. Oh Lord, save me from anxiety... but you know, it's real strange. After getting home in the evening, mei text me and asked if i was interested in editorial work. Wow. It feels like friends are coming up to offer me jobs, and i didn't even have to do anything. But whatever happens, i still thank and praise the Lord for His blessing upon me. I need to really learn how to trust more in Him, and enjoy grace.
