Job Searching

This week is my second week of working. Thinking back, it has been 2 weeks I was busy for job searching, online application and job interview. The first job I interviewed was PROPERTY AGENT. I have a basic idea what property agent is. Although it was not the type of job i was really looking for and I did not know so well the area of Kota Damansara, I told myself to go for the interview as I could gain precious interview experience. Luckily I had friend to go with me together. At least I was not nervous when I was lost in direction for times. I did not accept the job eventually by turning down the offer through email.

Soon, I had another job to interview. hahhaha. This time it was the job I had been desperately looking for - PROPERTY RESEARCHER or PROPERTY VALUER. Looking the profile of the company only I got to know it was a Malay company. Again, I invited the friend to go with me again since he was so free. I was quite satisfied with my interview performance, although it was not so impressive. It was just that I revealed so much things to the interviewers like my degree certificate recognition. Eventually, I was offered with the salary of 1.5K. Wow, it was surprising for me with the offer as I stated my expected salary to be 2.4k. The salary offered was no way I could accept. Asking them to increase to 1.7k was in vain. However, I do understand the reasons why they offer me such a price. I am not property graduate and I have no experience at all. It was already a bless that there was company accepting me.

It took me 2 days struggling whether I should work for the job. My first option was to work for the job so that I can gain the necessary experience which would be helpful for my Masters degree study. Option two would be working for quantity surveyor so that I could earn better income and save it for Masters degree study. Eventually, I chose the first option. The reason I did not continue my Masters degree is to gain necessary working experience to ensure I am capable and interested in this field. It would be helpful for me in my study later on. I really hope I did not make a wrong choice. Eventually I accepted the job.
