In the mean time.....

Recently, I have been think alot about my job.

Okay, Let me just tell you about my job first.

I work at a particular casino in Singapore (think you already know which one) as customer service for membership. So I do shift work. My job is to do member aquisition, process membership application, sell levy (the money ($100/$2000) that Singaporean/PRs pay to go into casino), sell show tickets, sell USS tickets and some adhoc duties.

Well, it is a high paying job, for a diploma holder, I consider this high paying. What else is there?

Career opportunity? Seriously, I do not know. Is this a job? Or is this a career?

Before coming here to work, I actually verbally accepted a offer from mediacorp as Casting Executive pays $1.7k. Normal pay for a diploma holder. Then came the offer from casino, offering much more. I have decided to go to the casino.

I love production, media etc. Why did i chose my current job over media job?

I need the money to pay off my study loan. My mom's CPF, DBS loan and Poly loan. Each month I service a total of $600. By end of the year, I should be able to finish paying off all of them. Latest my Jan 2012, I think.

So for now, I am stuck here.

To be fair, my current job is not bad. High paying (for diploma), wih 13th month bonus, variable bonus, meet many people (the nasty, the nice, the stupid, the funny) etc. However, I do not see myself being able to climb the corporate ladder. Not because I am not capable but many other factors.

And I was very unhappy, still am, with my last year performance appraisal. It is a long story so I will just cut it short. The appraisal score, 5 is high and 1 is low. I got a 2! BELOW AVERAGE! HOW CAN I BE BELOW AVERAGE? I am a above average worker! I raised my doubts and unhapiness. but apparently HR still direct me back to my manager, who said she did fight for me. TOTAL BULLSHXT. This affect my bonus and my increment. I am not shy to say a casino givng their staff an increment of $10. They should be ashamed of it.

Now that I am going to finish servicing my loans. I should be considering my next step.

Wait for promotion? Move on to other job/career? I really have no clue where I should step.

My concern:

- comfortable here because of the pay, more so when I am going to finish paying of my loans, $600 more for me to spend!

- media industry needs experience, will I make it?

- there will definitely be a pay drop if I jump to media industry. The max I can drop is $600.

- going to new environment, leaving my comfort zone.

Anyone to advice me? Comments? Even better, job offer? Haha..

Stay tuned for next entry on NDP!
