在摩托罗拉剩余的日子 : 134 days

Never Close your doors and shut your windows before the SUn Sets.

A follow up to the opportunities that was presented to me 2 days ago.

The talent sourcing guy call KS called me again for referral and i decided to ask him for the job description so that i can forward to my friends or colleagues who might be interested. Upon receiving the email, i find that the JD fits what i wanted and decided to give it a shot myself. If i managed to get into the position , i got to ask my boss for an early release . Anyway that will matter only if i am offered a position. This morning i got another call from KS asking me about more details if i am technically competent , and if i am a high performer in the organisation and many other questions. Well my doors are still open to them at the moment

The IOS ( Internal Opportunity System ) is still available, the new boss , also happen to be called KS . I was curious who he is and decided to pop by and see if i know him "by face". For me, there are a couple of things i need to consider before i took up a new job . $$$is definitely one of them. Who you are going to work for and the people you are going to work with matters a lot too.
Although technically you cannot control if you are going to a new environment. But if i am doing a IOS , i will like to find out first. After considering all these i decided i will not be taking this position for now.

The main reason is as follows

Andy " I like to know more about the position available and its job description.
Do I do that before or after the IOS ? "

KS "you can get the brief JD from the IOS or we can meet to have a quick chat. The only problem is my boss is in this week and I am quite full in my agenda. Let see…"

He doesnt even want to talk to me! Makes me feel like i am desperate for the job. I will not forgo my severance for this. Nor will i close my doors and shut my windows before the sun sets.

I have my first meeting with my 2 new partners on our business plan. A lot of brainstorm ideas and overall , it looks exciting. Internet advertising is really a boundary-less investment and you can do tons of stuff with it. I setup google docs to stored our meeting invites and i am impressed with what google docs can do. I dont really have high expectations of this business partnership, but what i really want to achieve through this is to take something away in this 4 months from this experience. I am sure i will be able to do that.
