It’s been another full week since spoke to the Executive team
during the application process for the job that I am really hoping to get in
Singapore, and I still hadn’t heard back from the HR department. There was only
one thing for it – on Thursday evening I sent them a note to let them know that
I would be calling for an update on Friday at 6pm (their 10am), so hopefully
they would be ready for me.
Having
stayed at work late I gave them a call and set about trying to get a clearer
idea of what’s going on. In essence, it sounds like they want me to come and
work for them, and they are keen to get something signed off. However,
apparently they were supposed to have recruited a number of new members to the
sales team before they found someone to do the role I would be working through,
so the CSO now has to meet with the CEO to work out whether or not it would fit
with their company strategy. It sounds like the CSO likes me, but now he has to
try and persuade the boss man that it’s worth a change in company plans. Hmm, I
probably won’t hold my breath there.
Worse, it
turns out that each company are only able to have a certain number of team
members working in Singapore on the International Work Visa, so once the CEO
has been persuaded that they need me, the application then gets handed over to
the Singapore legal world to debate. Hmm, I suppose it might be tine to head
back to the drawing board and make a new plan of attack. Sad, sad times.
