Waiting for my window to open...


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.
