Finally Moving Forward
I thought rendering resignation was just a piece of cake. You resign and your managers will send their good luck regards and be happy for you. Never did I know that this will be the hardest decision I will ever make from the past 4 years of my entire career life.
I’ve been juggling different thoughts in my mind. The pros and cons: colleagues whom I’ve treated as friends even as my extended family, clients whom I dearly love. Not to mention the “living-the-life” status where I can work sometimes at home and coffee shops and most especially the hefty sales commissions. Enjoying all this stuff only make me feel to want more… stay longer but career progress wise I feel I’m stagnating.
After a week of updating my online resume. I got several calls from employers, most of which are offering sales or account manager post. I attended 2 interviews and luckily they are eager to hire me. But the eagerness to stay with my current employer won my decision. So just last week, I got a call from multinational company for an interview invite for the Product Manager opening. I felt so excited and anxious at that moment, because I’ve been working hard to attain that post. Plus its combination of marketing and sales strategy - perfect combination.
After panel and HR interview, I was immediately informed by their department head that I’ll be hired for the position. I felt extremely happy but at the same time extremely sad because this means finally goodbye.
I informed my manager about my final decision. Things got a little bit emotional especially with my presales tandem. They are convincing me to stay until the end of the year so I can help them out in hitting the annual sales target. But then I have to give them my firm decision.
I’m feeling guilty right now and sad. Just for the record, I never regretted to be part of them. I am who am I now because of them but I wanted a more clear career path which made this a no brainer decision. This was never an easy decision for me. I’m not sure if I can blend with those people I’ll be working with but hopefully yes. I just wish my self the best-of-luck and the people I’m leaving behind the same. I hope they won’t find this as a selfish decision.
My Dog Watcing Red Dog
You know I’m such a sucker for Dog films, Hatchiko and Marley & Me are my favorites. My sister recommended me to watch Red Dog so we set up a big screen in my brother’s chamber. Now, I have companion in watching the film because I’m watching it with my dog Twinkle.
I think twinkle got mesmerized by Red Dog in screen that she manages to watch and wag her tail every time Red Dog appears. So cute, because she felt sad when Red Dog died. She barked as if commanding Red Dog to wake up.
Red dog is based on legendary true story of dog that lived his life hitching rides and travelling in Pilbara Australia. The canine was adored and well taken care by the community. He had no master though until such time he chose a Bus driver to be his master. The dog traveled with his master in his bus trips. Red Dog’s master died, like the film Hachiko he waited for his master to arrive. When he finally realizes that his master is not returning home he decided to look for him and started his search journey on his own. Red Dog died because of poisoning. His body was found on his master’s grave.
It’s amazing how dogs are loyal with their master. I was wondering if my dog would the same for me. When, I first bought Twinkle I was so giddy to bring her home. Little did I know, that their lifespan is short and separation from her would be excruciating.
