I secured a job

Well, it turns out that I interviewed with Kansai Coatings Malaysia – just neighbor to Sime Kansai Paint. Kansai Coatings is a 100% Japanese Company [Par Paint - its brand] while Sime Kansai Paint [70% Japanese 30% Sime Darby]

I will be working as almost everything in the company though called a Chemist – R&D, decision maker in many things, quality control – meeting ISO, troubleshooting, meeting clients if needed, getting wider business opportunities, production and manufacturing, customer service – the most important matter of all as stresses from the division director, Mr. Azham, whom I may work under next time… all for paints of homes and architectures. RM2k as it offers, on job training, lots of benefits, and given uniform and lab coat and safety attires for work [no need to crack my head of what to wear everyday].

Ms Jolynn Teh [HR], called just now [3pm] and she said the company would like to take me in! The interview was a bit passive… though both Mr Azham and Ms Jolynn were very nice of telling me about the job prospect, the divisions and the people in the work place, job description, benefits and so on. All my questions answered before I asked. When asked if I have any questions, I only manage to tell them about my convocation week when I need unpaid leave. They were positive about everything. I am happy.

They saw my CV and were very interested on my AIESEC profile. So I managed to tell them about opportunities in AIESEC and experiences I gained. They like outgoing people as it fits the job description. I did not gave them a definite answer on whether I want the job or not and instead I tell them I need to go back and consider first… after talking to my parents, I wrote a letter of appreciation to them and told them that I would like to go for the job… and just half an hour or so, Ms Jolynn called to confirm my status for the company – HIRED. I will be starting my work on the 1 August 2007 and at the meantime, I have to go for medical check up before I can start working.

I am happy: [1] I have income soon. [2] First interview, first job [3] parents are happy [4] David is happy [5] friends are happy [6] I am stepping into the corporate world after all – from fears to fearless.

God indeed is great – He just make my path goes so smoothly – yea, be obedient and rest will be assured by Him. And thank you brother and sisters for your prayers too.
