Menggapai impian
Monday, February 08, 2010
Aku suka berangan2, jadi tak salah aku nak berangan. Aku tak susahkan orang lain mahupun menyusahkan telinga orang dengan mendengar angan2 atau impian aku. Aku ni slow sikit bab2 ilmiah. Aku tak suka mendengar, aku suka buat...tak reti takpe, belajar dari kesilapan. Impian aku cukup mudah, kerja makan gaji, tapi gaji nak besar. Itu je...org lain cakap buat lah bisnes...aku cakap, pegi lah buat, aku nak keja makan gaji.
Aku dan isteri memang banyak perancangan, sumer kami rancang tak sah kalau takde kos. Sumer pun kos. Dulu, aku fikir, ah dah abis sarjana muda, tamau belajar lagi...cukup2 la berperang dengan hal ilmiah ni. Tak kose lah konon. Sebaliknya isteri aku pula seorang yg gila hal ilmiah...dia nak sambung sehingga ke peringkat phd. Dalam hati aku pulak melawan, mana boleh jadi bini lagi tinggi tahap ilmiahnya daripada aku. Meluap2 kembali semangat untuk kembali ke medan ilmiah.
Minggu lepas, aku, isteri, dan seorang rakan pergi ke hari terbuka program sarjana di UM. Aku melihat2 program2 yang ditawarkan. Teruja pun ade. Aku idamkan program Pengurusan Projek. Setahu aku belum ade lagi Universiti Awam menawarkan program semacam itu. Dalam aku membelek "pamphlet", aku menoleh ke arah kawasan yg takde org pun kerumun booth tuh...aku pun buat muka hebat lalu melihat...EH!!!! ade program Sarjana Pengurusan Projek. WOW! hati aku riang. Aku pun bertanya bertalu2 sampai makcik kat booth tak leh jawab. Aib dimuka mereka selamat apabila seorang eksekutif fakulti tersebut datang dari ntah mana.
Aku pun melontarkan soalan2, di jawabnya dengan penuh konfiden. Akhir sekali, soalan terakhir aku...dia sendiri tak dapat jawab, dimintakan aku menelefon ketua program tersebut untuk kesahihan. Jadi aku telefonnya, aku tanya soalan yg aku nak tanya. Senang aje dia kata, "NO PROBLEM...apply aje. Itu semua belakang cerita, saya yg akan menyemak permohonan kamu."
Tersengih kepuasan aku sorang2. Jadi sah, aku ingin melanjut pelajaran aku ke tahap sarjana. Tapi ayah aku menyarakan aku amik MBA...aku fikir betul juga, MBA lebih di terima pakai dalam semua industri. Pengurusan Projek juga diterima di dalam semua industri. TAPI bezanya pada tahap manakah penggunaan "qualification" tersebut. Aku dalam dilema antara dua program...mana nak mohon. Ketika aku mendengar khutbah jumaat bertajuk "ilmu"...datang ilham. Ah! ape nak susah2 fikir...amik aje lah 2-2...kan senang, setel masalah. Aku akan mohon pengurusan projek...setelah tamat, aku akan mohon untuk MBA pulak...abis cerita...org cakap aku ni buang duit...bagi aku tak buang duit ah...ade 2 Sarjana tak salah. Takde pulak dalam mana2 hukum, undang2, kalau ade 2 sarjana merugikan.
Sedangkan dalam islam sendiri sarankan cari ilmu selagi mampu. Dah tua sikit, mungkin memperbaiki ilmu agama...haha, dasar nak masuk neraka nampaknya. Isteriku sendiri sudah buat keputusan untuk menyambung pelajarannya ke peringkat sarjana - statistik. Ape dalam kepala bini aku, aku sendiri tak tau...sumer program dia cuba nak mohon, luar jangkauan aku sendiri...statistik lah, kejuruteraan kimia lah, kejuruteraan geologi lah...itu sumer aku tak reti.
Aku sendiri tak tahu kenapa gembira sangat nak sambung belajar. Mungkin sejak aku tamat pengajian sarjana muda secara "part-time", aku bosan agaknya takde benda nak buat selain main dengan anak aku dan menonton dvd. Harap2 permohonan ke peringkat sarjana aku diterima. Amin.
There's a vacancy in XXX company for a team lead position. Well that is an interesting opening. I got all the requirements they need but unfortunately i don't have the interest hopping job for now. I've seen the ad posted dated 1st of december, but i guess they couldn't find a suitable candidate. Maybe out of desperation, they hire head hunters. Or maybe they just to lazy to head hunt on their own. Well most of the head hunters these days is not inclining towards job seeker, but more towards the employer.
Thats what disturbs me, in the eagerness to supply human resources and make money, we too as the job seekers want to make money. So, who should they help? I leave it on self judgment.
XXX head hunters have been bugging me for few times on an offering. I have turned it down once, and still they sending me emails requesting my CV by using different head hunter. There are few reasons why i turned it down. Please bear in mind, it is all about how i think and not the standard procedure of job seeking. The usual process they ask for our cv and ask us state how much is our current salary. You see, i'm not prone of telling my current salary. There's a reason why our pay slip is printed with "PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL".
And unfortunate for them, they choose me to call. I would succumb to the request if only they interview me first. But NO, they choose to ask how much is my salary way before i say yes to try. So this my answer to you - head hunters who don't understand english!
Note: I edited and modify head hunters sentences as their english is way below than secondary school english level. Its friggin' annoying speaking with dumbass who dunno how to speak english properly and professionally!!! Its not like i'm good in english but at least i'm decent enough.
Scenario A: Head Hunter: Hi Mr. Kraken, i call u for an opportunity that might interest you. Kraken: Yeah ok, shoot. Head Hunter: We have a client that need a team lead for their team of Kraken: Aha...go on. Head Hunter: The responsibility is to bla bla bla, yada yada yada...and this and that. Would you like to try? Kraken: Well sure, send me and official email of the description as well as other information so i can think about it. You will have reply by end of the day attached with my cv. Head Hunter: That would be great, may i know how many experience you have in this line work? Kraken: X years, May i know the salary range for this position. Head Hunter: Not to worry sir, they have no range and it is according to your exp and expectation. May i know your notice period? Kraken: Yea ok, sounds good, its 1 month. Head Hunter: What is your current salary? <---------------------this is when i'm kinda pissed----------------------------> Kraken: I'm sorry, i can't furnish you the info you request. Head Hunter: Don't worry sir, we'll keep it strictly confidential Kraken: Nope, thats not it, first u said, there's no salary range, now you're asking my current salary, i don't see what use of it to you. Head Hunter: But sir the client request before we can proceed Kraken: No i don't think so, you want the info for your company benefits. Head Hunter: But sir we can't proceed without the info. Kraken: I tell you what, how about you fuck it and i don't think your client request for it.
I ended the conversation without any well wishes or even a simple "bye"
Scenario B: Head Hunter: Hello Mr. Kraken, i'm XXX from XXX company. I'm calling on behalf of XXX company for the position of . This is a great opportunity for you as this is a MNC company and one of the largest IT provider in the world. Kraken: Why would i want to change job to the same level and roles? Head Hunter: Emm...you see sir, this is XXX company. World largest IT Company. <------This is the point where i got annoyed, XXX company is not everything and certainly no difference from other MNC-----> Kraken: Currently i'm working with a MNC company, so what is the difference? Head Hunter: Emm...but sir its XXX company, it has good benefits Kraken: Why? You know my company doesn't offer as good as XXX company? I tell you what, it seems that you are clueless with my response. I'll make it simple, i do not have any intention of switching job and certainly will not try it out. Head Hunter: Are sure sir? <-------------Now i'm really annoyed------------------> Kraken: Am i speaking english or other language? You heard me. Head Hunter: Oh i'm sorry, would you mind referring to your contacts perhaps that is in the same line? Kraken: No. Head Hunter: Oh......Don't you have friends in this line...?? Kraken: I'll tell you what, out of 100,000 working individuals, you might find 1...that is if you are lucky...our line of work, is not easy to find because what...we are among the pioneers in this line of job. So, the next person you came across that has the same abilities, please offer them much more than "this is XXX company, one of largest IT company in the world"...okay? Head Hunter:
You see, head hunters should have enough info about the labor market and what is the current offerings. Most of these guys are clueless when it comes to unique line of work. This is not everyday position you heard such as IT Engineers or other common positions.
