Of Career

Prior our son's arrival, Hubby and I discussed whether it's good for me to be a SAHM or return to work force. After much discussion, we decided that being a working Mom would probably be a better choice for me. I'm a young mother, if I were to be a SAHM, be the time my son had grown up and be independent, I will be probably in my 40s. I guess it will be way too late to return to work force by then. Hubby also feels that I shouldn't be losing out in my career and it's not fair to me.

I will be starting my new job in early May. The new job will give me a better work-life balance, a better career advancement and a much more stable income. I'm looking forward to this new learning horizon.

A lot of people asked me why I call quit for my current job. Before anyone asked me, I had asked myself this question a thousand time. Very sad to say, as a working mother I can no longer be so operationally ready and my current working environment is not a very "family friendly" ground. In this line, OT are so frequent it become part of the job. Just the other day, a colleague also a working mother told me something very heartbreaking. Her son told others that all that he learn today was taught by the caregiver not by his mother, cos his mother has no time for him. If my son was to say this 1 day, I will definitely tender my resignation with immediate effect and spend all my time with him.

Before I look out for a new opportunity, I also asked myself am I cut for this line, do I want to return to this line? When I was quite convinced that I wasn't cut for this line, my 2 referrers (both my ex superior) some how "confused" me. My new job require 2 referrers to support my CV and the new company take into serious consideration of the referrer's comments. Nevertheless their good comments landed me a job and also landed me in a "confuse" state of my previous thought. I also like to Thanks my 2 referrers for the kind comments and also the kind advice 1 of my ex superior given to me. Im glad that after so many years my hard work remained in your heart. :) It somehow make me feel a lot better in the situation.

Anyway, Im glad I have landed myself in non operation job and all these shall be left behind me. Whether Im cut, whether I'm suitable, it's all going to be over soon. Now I just hope to close this final chapter smoothly.

Sorry for the lengthy post and I also promise to update the blog more often. Stay tune peep.
