Why Join MNC?

I want to share my feeling on this topic. It has been 8 months that I've worked with MNC after my graduation. Initially, I felt very proud with myself that I was able to secure the job opportunity from MNC but this feeling was fading by days. Upon receiving the offer letter, I have the mixed feeling because I was sent to Kuantan (which is far from my hometown) but I convinced myself that I need to gain the working experience before I could make the next move. Being the fresh graduate, we can't be very choosy about the jobs. Hence, I took the challenges and travelled to Kuantan last October. For the first few months, I just sat in the classroom for training program and we were exposed to various subjects regarding the company.

Finally, the classroom training program came to the end in February this year and we were segregated to different departments in the company. Three of us were sent to the same department and we were briefed by the manager about the job scope and expectations. After spending 4 months in the department, I didnt feel that I was given the same workloads and job explosure than the rest and I felt that I can't learn much to equip myself with necessary technical knowledge. I spent most of my time reading materials in the office and I don't get the chance to be involved in the engineering project whilst the rest did. 

Today my boss asked whether I was busy or not and I replied no. He was shocked when I replied him in this way and he said that I should get myself busy with works because I received high pay from the company. But how am I going to be busy when the boss is not delegating the jobs well between us. At this moment, I can't do anything but I have to be patient and persevere.

Random Thought

It has been months since I updated my blog. Yeah....finally I finish my studies at UPM and currently I am looking for a good job. I attended some interviews for the past few months and some offered me the jobs and some didn't work out. I attended P's interview last month and after two weeks, I didn't receive any response from HR. I decided to call him and luckily he picked up my phone. I asked him whether I passed the interview or not and he said I passed the interview and I need to send him the final transcript and letter from university before he can issue me the offer letter. Everything was done orally and I don't feel secure because normally I will do things in black and white so that we can keep track on it, in case anything goes wrong. 

If everything goes well, I shall start working in September and I will be based in Kuantan, Pahang. Hopefully the HR guy didn't break his promise and he will issue me the offer letter as soon as possible. Actually, I am hesitate to travel far to Kuantan to start my work because I always wish that my workplace will be somewhere near KL so that I can go back hometown easily during the weekends.

I was happy to receive a call from EM last month and I knew that the phone conversation lasted very short only, probably about 5 minutes. Since then, I'm keep waiting for their call and email everyday because I hope that I will be invited for the face-to-face interview with EM. If I manage to secure it, I will be based in KL and I like it. It has been weeks and they still have not call me for another interview. I felt demotivated and hopefully, they are still screening the potential candidates for an interview, instead of dumping me without any notice because I still have a faith that they will call me one day for an interview. In the earlier phone conversation, I don't feel like they are going to reject my application because they ended the conversation by checking on whether my emailing address was correct or not. This hint is quite obvious to me that they want to contact me again or probably they will not call me again because I think too much.

Anyway, I really hope that I am able to secure a job upon graduation. Seeing other course mates starting their career lives could add more pressure on myself but I still believe that finding a right job is always important so that your career goals can be achieved in the near future. Right now, I still writing a journal for my final year project and I feel lazy to do it. Hopefully more good news will come after this.
