In a Transition...

A brand new job, brand new working environment, brand new colleagues, brand new boss... Yes, I will be quitting my job 3 weeks later, reason is that...

Hmm... Sounds familiar? But it's damn true. It will happen again... Life's like this, anything can happen, nothing unusual about this, least for myself.

It's not because of my current company is not good, but it's not that great either. But from my current employment, I learned a lot, especially about this industry, acquired/upgraded some skills, made some new friends(mostly newbies as the company is new) in a short span of 1 month.

The jobscope is ok i.e. designing, programming, and generate CNC code for machines to run and produce parts that will be asssembled into company's product. The job is not complex(if you familiarized after few training or if you know to design using CAD) and I think I will become bored after months of doing it. This is one of the reason I found that this job wouldn't suit me, although there are other reasons like salary, company's policy etc.

My manager is a nice guy and helps to teach the new guys a lot when it comes to the work matters. It was hard to tender to him regarding my resignation, he was shock and asked the reasons behind it. Then he asked if I would try it out for few months first but I couldnt do it with new job on hand. I was to give him 24 hours notice as my new boss asked me to start work as soon as possible. A guy(5 months working) just left before the day I resigned and my manager would want time to fill in the vacancy, so I have to compromise in between old and new company(it's a bit awkward) and leave at the end of the month.

My new job is actually my previous job function and my new boss was my ex- boss's ex-staff. The interview with him was fast in terms of him making decision to hire me. But the process itself looked not so simple as he went through my subjects in University (first experience although interviewer should be like this) and asked about my CGPA etc. I didnt apply for his company and I was clueless about how he got my contact. May be through my ex-colleagues or my ex-boss and another possibility is the interviewer from another company I met before being interviewed by him. I am eager to find out but may be time will tell...

The benefits offered is better than my current job but not quite comparing to my previous job. The global situation still not up to par yet and job is still hard to come by. But what's more to ask if one could find his interest in the things he does.

So I will be on my journey again. Until then, I am in a transition...
