Episode/s

My 'episode' in one of local financial institutions lasted last week.  It had been a very wonderful memorable phases of my life working there; being surrounded by good friends, but a very stagnant growth in career path.  I know that I need to move, but keep on postponing because of a very comfortable niche until a headhunter called and insisted to forward the cv to him. Knowing me, (still procrastinate); being too lazy to update my cv.  For me it was like filling up the KPI which highlighted the utmost responsibilities but in the end, though you are high achiever and exceed the targetted performance, you'll still be considered on target (or on average).  It's always the ones who does less and 'taichi' his job to others get the exceeded performance which is soooo unfair!

Anyway, I did update the cv.

Surprisingly, I had been called for interview. Maybe it was just my lucky star.  Went thru first interview, and I did not really hope being shortlisted.  For me, I just wanted to check what my 'marked-to-market' is. It had been quite sometimes after the interview when they invited me for next interview.  This time, it was a teleconference interview with overseas interviewers.  Still, I did not put too much hope on it but did study and brushed off a little bit on technical aspects .  I did not mind not  offered the job but I do mind if I look 'stupid' during interview session.

Two days after the interview,  the company called and offered me the job.  It was then that I realised I need to bite that dust since opportunity may knock once on my door. And I am quite worry working in the comfort zone would hinder me from a good career path outside the shell.

Now, here I am in a foreign bank in Malaysia, just started last Monday.  Hope this new 'episode/s' would grant me better opportunities and satisfaction for my career path.
