Why I Quit My First Job: Second Reason

August 02, 2017

Glad you came back! If you're new, welcome! In my previous post (first post) I mentioned about my first reason of why I quit my first job whereby I have 3 solid reason. So here's my second reason.

Working In Singapore,




That was my main purpose once I graduated, what can I say? The world is too competitive, didn't get a job (obviously). After working locally, The last solid reason leads me urging to get a job in Singapore will be answered on my next upcoming post. You could say I was stubborn and strongly believe in myself that I am more than just working my butt off. There were ups and down, weep throughout most of my nights waiting for emails. I screamed through video calls, my boyfriend even got fed up. When I mentioned how tough I was going through, 90% of my friends and family would say "did you try applying the other companies?" 

And I have to answer it calmly "Yes, I have applied the whole Singapore"

I waited for almost 25 companies' email for a month. I started to doubt my strength, gradually falling apart. Until one day, some strange feeling just got right into me. I got back straight from work and went online and search for job, I then found a job I was like, THIS IS IT! It's something I am positive I am suitable for the job. The next day, the company replied me with a given assignment in order to go for the second round interview in Singapore. I completed on time, no emails returned for another month. I got so depressed and as I decided to give up and accept my fate. 

I got an email! Not to mention almost nearly another month I waited. Asking when will I be available for an interview in Singapore. Made it to Singapore second round, prepared all my questions and answers. I never studied so hard in my life! 

As I was on the way walking towards the company, I still couldn't believe I'm here. I almost tear up in joy, of course I didn't want to ruin my make up .I hold back as much as I can. There goes 3 hours of interview with 6 different interviewer, and few of them are from United States. It's also my first time being interviewed from interviewer from US. Not to mentioned, the interview was not held together with 6 of them. Each of the interviewer has 30 minutes sections separately with me. This is also my first time going for an interview without any paperwork. Most importantly, they did not ask the most frequent question, Why did you quit your job. That was my main concern and prepared this answer the longest time. They did not ask my grades, and instead of asking me how long have you been working. They asked "how long have you been doing this?" This is the most comfortable question I ever heard throughout my experience in interview. 
When the interview comes to an end. I walked out the building, I looked upon the sky (Yes, you can picture it). And said "The rest is on God's hand". 

Walked back and rest for a bit before heading off to meet my boyfriend to end the night. Did I get the job? Soon you will find out! thank you for reading!

Now, let's get serious about the last reason why I quit. Or you could say the most sensitive question for me with harsh answer for tomorrow post at 8pm.
