Psalm 6
3 My soul also is greatly troubled;
But You, O LORD—how long?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!

Psalm 30
5 For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning.

I had been searching for a new job ever since after Christmas. Business was very slow and I had to move on instead of dying in the company. So jobstreet was my only portal and I kept searching for something which matches my resume and click on a few applications. The waiting period was really a trial to my patience and after a while of clicking finally the phone rang. A recruitment company called to ask if I was interested in working for a bank selling and marketing. I rejected it because of the working time that clashes my Sabbaths. So I asked her if she can offer me other jobs. She told me that the company has an opening as a recruiter, so I went for the interview on the 3rd. Turn out to be that she's a sister in Christ, and she kept giving me tips for the opening. Later that day she arranged for another interview with someone with more authority. So after the interview, she said "I will pass your application to the regional manager and if you're the right candidate, we will call you for another interview."

It didn't work out. So the Christian sister helped me arrange for another job interview.

Few days later she found something that matches my background and experience. A MNC, one of the global leader in design and manufacture has an opening for a business development exec. It was on a Tuesday, and I somehow sense that the interview didn't went well when she mention, "If you're the right candidate, we will call you after CNY".

So after struggling for a week or so, finally the breakthrough came.

The next day (Wed) when I was checking my mails and my Jobstreet account, I saw this add by a US based company in Jalan Sultan Ismail which has 8 openings for Customer Service Reps, and they encouraged walk in interviews. So without hesitation and while waiting for the previous interview reply I got ready everything and head out the next day.

Thursday 11/02/2010 - A day of victory.
My brother just got back from S'pore and we went for lunch at Lot 10's new food court. After lunch we parted, and I headed down to Sultan Ismail for that interview. When I got there, the reception treated me very well and escorted me to a conference room and switch on the air cond for me while the other candidates were in another much smaller meeting room. It was as though a legion angels were surrounding me.
The interview went well, and to my delight this time the interviewer asked when can I start work instead of 'if you're the right candidate'.
