Career part 2: Let go; Let's go

It was just few months after my previous post where I was excitedly talking about my current company;

now I am here heavyhearted-ly bringing in to an end.

Let Go

I sent in my resignation letter when my superior was on leave,

I knew it wasn't right but my company in future has not given me enough time to really plan for anything else.

I got a job offer from HSBC and i accepted the offer.

It was a long waited job, and yes, it was the first company I approached once I graduated

the future in that company sound really really promising

It was indeed a good offer, 

everyone is supporting me to pursue a better future there.

Yet, I am feeling bad

for not being able to commit long enough in my current company.

For all I believe professionalism is,

staying in one company long enough; serving with passion;

 getting to know bits and pieces of the company and thus contribute to the company.

It was such an heartache,

to see how dissapointed my superiors were when they received such a shocking news from me

They have been putted so much hopes on me, and before I realize, they have already plan the whole career pathway for me.

Sorry that only until today I came to know that I was once being appreciated. 

I would like to express my appreciation to those who really support me:

1. Ms. Tan, my working partner

She was a professional accountant,
her strength is to get everything perfectly done; while her weakness is intolerance towards inaccurate figure (accountant's occupational sickness, haha).

She is very task oriented while I am people oriented,

I like to talk and deal with people while she prefer to deal with figure and paper works

thus, we have this team work between us where she will get everything done and let me to convey the message to the related party.

Her ability was so much above what the company is paying her,

I am here hoping for all the best in her life

2. Steven, HR staff

Steven was one of the staffs that makes me felt very much appreciated.
He had putted in a lot of effort trying to show me how much I am being appreciated by fellow superior.
And he was the only one that approached me to concern about my feeling working for that company

Steven, I am really sorry if I've dragged you from the heaven to hell;

I am sorry if I've given so much hopes yet leaving without getting you prepared.

3. Principal

Principal, I am sorry that I am leaving.

I am not sure how much you rated on my performance;

but my evaluation for myself has never reach 40%,

I have no confidence working for you

Thank you so much for your tolerance,

for all I knew the time I spent at work is just giving you a double work
You've been nice and patient to me,
Thank you for what you've taught.

4. Kenny, HR manager that interviewed me and given me this job

Mr. Kenny, thank you for offering me a job at REAL

and it was so touch that you still welcome me 4 months after I rejected the company.

without you, I will have no work in the past few months.

without you, I will not have the chance to gain such experiences

5. Malar, Business Manager

Ms. Malar, thank you for being understandable. 

As what you said, I will not be stopped from searching for what I want in life;

and, the door is always open whenever I feel like coming back.

Thank you, I will take your words with me

Let’s Go

My decision to go for HSBC will be a total career transition from education line to the customer service.
I can't say for sure that this will suits me more than teaching

However, my objective is simple:
I just want to get into big company, explore and see what else I can do other than teaching

Yes, it may or may not suits me
but, never try, I will never know

I hope that while I am still young,
I can get to explore more instead of staying within my comfort zone

I'll like to have more options in my life,
I'll like it if I can get to choose my own future

Although for the time being, teaching is my passion and children are my love

But also I am open up to opportunity before I really get myself settled at this young age

God bless me and the people around me

Thank you
