About That Job Search

Remember my job search a little while back? Actually not a little while but a few months back hahahaha. Well, my prayers really was answered. I prayed for the best solution for me and family. So hopefully that is what I get, the best.

Before McD finally took me in, I interviewed in a few places. Looking back, and considering the development in oil and gas industry I am grateful.

Intecsea. I interviewed here in February I think. No news from them, and I think I didn't do very well on the interview. Turns out that they closed their branch in KL, retrenched half of their employees in Perth. Singapore office is so far not retrenching anyone but I guess they don't have many projects. Alhamdulillah I didn't get an offer from them.

Technip. I interviewed here on March or April if I'm not wrong. Actually this is a very good company. They have projects everywhere. Quite busy with jobs. I suck horrendously during the interview. But looking back, I don't think I would've survived with that kind of boss anyway. Alhamdulillah I wasn't given an opportunity to be given an offer..

Swiber. I was quite hopeful on this one. Since it is located near my old office, so it wouldn't be so bad. They never even contacted me for an interview. I was quite sad. Felt hopeless. Then one of my friend moved there, and I heard she said that the working environment is not good. Not sure how bad it was though. But I was glad they didn't call me for an interview.

I applied for so many positions, so many times without luck. Til I finally gave up and rest easy waiting for whatever happens next. Then McD happens. Alhamdulillah. I've got my doubts, I've got my worries, but I believe that this is Allah's answer to my prayers, so I just need to make it into the best for me and my family.
