Today, I embraced myself to meet with my manager to submit my resignation letter. It is not as easy as it may seem. I thought I just simply knock the door, give the letter and move out. All in a single breath… but then, when I’m in front of my manager… It seems I’m stuck in the chair. Well it is not easy as expected. Today, officially it’s 1 year for me as CFP’s staff. My manager, I don’t know, she seems a bit well maybe shocked with my actions. To resign at the peak of the time where I believe the company need me most. Last monday, my company’s advisor has decided to make a major restructuring where I have been appointed verbally as the new manager for 3 companies that will be centralized in the new office in Sunway Rahman Putra (RedCactus Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd, Green Folia Fertilizer Sdn Bhd, and Country Village Sdn Bhd). But yet I have to choose the most reliable and stable company to build my career. After consulting my parents, my cousin who works in Suruhanjaya Sekuriti (thanks abg Irwan), my friend in Ministry of Human Resources, Malaysia, my friend from CIMB, my colleague and Abg Zach, all of them give me full support to leave this company and start my new career with OCBC Bank.
It is totally hard for me to leave my first employer who already gave me the first step into the working environment. They already mold my confidence in embracing the real world, and from there I learnt, through hard work, sincerity and strong self will will bring you forward much more better than those who only relies on their degree to get job. In other word, I sell myself and my skills to OCBC. I walk-in into their interview sessions without that piece of paper. Only me and my communication skills as well my negotiation skills along with my basic skills in accounting and math for their interview tests. Although at that time I’m very demotivated since I have to compete with other candidates who some of them are executives from Maybank, employees from other banking institutions, as well some of them already in executive level in multiple field and well experienced. Me? just a drop-out. Honestly, the whole day during the interview session, I just sit on my own and think about myself. I don’t bothered about anyone in the waiting room. Just me in my own world, reading the newspaper.
Honestly, I think I don’t have the same level with them. I am way down below their standards. But after OCBC called me confirming about my position, I’m very happy until I didn’t realized my head was on the floor praising Allah. Since only HE has the power to give me what I’m hoping for after performing Solat Hajat every night after the last interview until the day I received the good news.
Well I have given my current employer a tender of 10 days notice to leave the company. Thus I will try to complete all the task in hand quickly before 11th of November.. my last day. Then on 12th Nov, I’ll be moving to Cyberjaya, my new home since I will start working on the 13th. But first tomorrow I have to collect my offer letter at the OCBC Tower in KL. Seriously I can’t wait to get started. Well on 13th of November 2006, I will start my own life on my own away from my family as a grown up. I guess it’s about time to transform into an adult.
