Just back from Interview

trevork86

Just want to write something today.

It has been 6 years now since I first started with the current employer.

6 years ago I was in MQ and working with the company as a kitchen steward, now I'm working as an Acting Financial Controller.

A lot of shit has happened in the past 6 years and now I just feel like hitting a brick wall and hate going to work everyday.

6 years with a singaporean company is not much different than you'd expect from any asian owner :  constant overtime, constant cost cutting and a hierarchy that supresses feedbacks & ideas.

I grew tired of it and made my move.

It's the first interview I had today as an assistant accountant. Not sure if this will be a right move. It is essentially moving backwards I know but I guess at least I have a start in a new industry.

As usualy, come to oursteps and ask for luck, fingers crossed!

If anyone out there interested in recruiting accounts perssonnel from hotel back ground, please pm!

Cheers

毕业6年可以找份中级岗位，你定位初级岗位反而会过度合格

如果要是急需一份工作的话，可以找中级职位的短期合同工，可能才3个月合同，但是从收入来看已经是初级职位一年的工资了，所以不要怕呆在家里闲着

你周一到周五上大街上看看，就知道有多少年轻人白天不工作了

我同意之前的评论，不要去找初级工作。因为澳大利亚这边有时做事不仔细，或者没必要仔细。他们经常看你上一个工作干的是什么来定你目前的水平。你干了初级工作，你肯定想再move up. 等你想再申请一个中级职位的时候， 到时有关系当然就没有关系。通过公开市场投递简历的话，给你一个面试的机会你的确是可以好好的解释自己如何胜任。就怕人家screen cv的时候一看上一个职位，不过是个AA. 下面的未必留意得到，直接扔垃圾桶。 因为简历太多了，就是这样粗心漏掉几个她也没损失阿，对你来说是很可惜了。

就算进去了面试，搞不好问你干嘛走回头路。解释得好，无问题。解释得不好，又扣分。

既然已经有份工作，就不要往低处走。AA的面试当作练习啦。

其实本来是打算从ap ar然后到aa payroll,然后cpa qualified， 然后fc  这种会计老路的，也不知道现在突然收到的是机会还是岔路

Just took part in a second interview today for the AA role.

As expected the questions revolve around why whould you want to work as an AA from an Acting FC. It took a bit of time to explain myself...

Coming to think about it.... I believe what's important is that, when compared to the current role, where would you be in three years time.

Althought it is an AA position, but the company is going through some extra-ordinary growth and I believe there would be great opportunities ahead.

I still hope that I can secure this role and I think that if I do, I will take it.

Fingers crossed!!!

Offer please!!
