I am clueless. What am I doing?

For the past one month, I've been consistently sending in resumes to companies that not only has the type of job I am interested in, but also where I would like to work in. I received calls from a couple, went through the first interview, and when they called me to go back for a second interview, I simply rejected them.

My main reason for rejecting them is because I do not feel comfortable. I guess this is a very important factor for me in a career. Comfortable with the environment, with the people, with my job scope. How about knowledge? I recently rejected an interview whereby if accepted, I will be assigned the post of a learning and development executive working for a very big supermarket company. Pay will be paid on time, bonus given, in short, attractive remuneration package, but I just do not see the job satisfaction. However, that very minute when I rejected the interview, I sort of regret. Afterall, I will be able to learn alot and will be able to implement what I have learnt in my F&B business in future. I consulted my friend who told me that whatever job I chose, I must have interest in it. If not, what is the point? True... I felt relieved. Thanks girl... you know who you are...

Yes, I plan to operate a cafe in future. If not partnered with my buddy, I'll do a one man show. F&B is something which I see potential. As long as our concept is innovative, food delicious, there is pull factor, the business will thrive. Look at the market now, we see Fish 'n' Co, Swensens, Crystal Jade etc etc... how different are they from the Western store that sells even more choices at the hawker? They are even more expensive than the crab sold at coffee shops. So you see, branding... that's the key to success.

I once told a brunch of friends that I would like to franchise the toilet themed restaurant found in Taiwan. Got negative response as expected. I'm not sure if it's because I'm in the Marketing line or what, but things that I see, others don't. And yes, they do not expertise in this field. This applies to things which I took a liking to too. Upon looking at it, it may seem like a plain piece of junk. Add some accessories and it will shine. Get it?

That's why I really hope to start my own business and prove to others what I mean and where my ability lies in. Of course, I must comment that I have received lots of support, compliments and praising while at my present job. Thanks so much for recognizing me. I really appreciate it lots.

This Sunday, I will go to Sheraton Towers. For what? For the walk-in interview for a SIA Flight Stewardess. I'm not sure if I am cut out for it. But out of curiousity, I would like to know how far I can go to. And also because I am into travelling, culture and customer service now. I guess this is a wonderful opportunity for me to realise the above 3. Wish me luck!
