So disappointed

After waiting for too long, finally got a call this afternoon while I was out with mum for some lunch and english tea at Forsters, Holland V.

The consultant from Search Agency informed me that the company I've been interviewing with had to put the position on hold due to a recent acquisition by their Parent Company. This means that they will inherit an additional 20+ people in Singapore and they have been asked to look into the internal pool for this resource. Only after the entire M&A exercise close in mid June can they know if they could go ahead to hire additional headcount (good news for me!) or they will have to close the position with an internal staff.

I think, the chances are slim that the position will eventually open up. There would still be the chance, but I wouldn't bet on it and neither do I wanna place any hope in it. Sighhh.... I am very disappointed, really really disappointed.

Suddenly I feel lost...

I tried encouraging myself that its ok, just start the search again and keep trying etc, but I can't help but feel this deep disappointment. The consultant told me that the 2 directors who interviewed me absolutely love me and want to hire me immediately if it is totally their call - but I am also over their budget and they would need further approval from HQ to let them "upgrade" the job so they can hire me.

Too many obstacles I guess.

Sigh..

I was very much looking forward to starting with them. The job seem interesting and they really look like nice bosses to work with. Also, I like the culture and also the nature of their business - in Audio/Web Communication. I was looking forward to start with them in June, so that it is a smooth transition and I could hide the truth from my parents that I've been retrenched. I planned to tell them that I was approached to consider a position, my boss supported it, and I got the job and moved into it.

Now, .. *poof* - gone. Nothing. Square one.

I guess I'll just have to suck it up and see what can I get.

The consultant said there's another new position that has came up, but she has not spoke to the client to learn further about the position's requirement yet. Judging from what she has read, she felt that I could potentially be a fit as well. This time, it is a HR position. She will let me know more next week.

Well, I hope this would be a good opportunity to consider. Honestly, my heart is still with this Communication Audio/Web conferencing company. And I kinda dread the word HR now.

Looks like my slimming plans need to be put on hold, LOL!! But that sounds so fatalistic. Yet, I need to exercise prudence too.

Oh well. ..

Will blog about more things tomorrow if there's time. I have so much to update, ahahhahahaha!!! Life continues to be interesting in tweetie's life!

I also wanna move the blog entries from my yahoo 360 over - some stuff are good stuff and its better that they are all housed in the same place, I guess.

Time to sleep. The medication is taking effect... eyelids are droopy... Zzz...zz....z...
