u really believe as a "management trainee" u will be promoted to management level after 1 year? sigh...
well i think i shud first explain how i got this offer initially..
i shud say i merely meet their requirements for the job..they were looking for mature experienced person to fit in this position (at least 28, more than 3 yrs exp)..so i guess it's not the usual MT for fresh grad. but i sent in my resume any way to give it a shot..surprisingly they called me for an interview n tat's how i got it..

Hired few management trainee means the company has to prepare for few departments for them to be HOD?
It is weird. There are staff in the dept but they purposely hire a fresh graduate to be HOD after 1 year but they do not consider more experienced staff or hire experienced people for it. 1 year to be HOD should be impossible except you own the company by yourself.
Be skeptical of the offer. Seems to be too nice to believe.
Yes true, i thought of it b4, i felt tat thr's something wrong wif it..
one thing is i was afraid tat i couldn't handle it (if wad they offer is true), or i m being 'fooled' to enter the company and end up in the wrong place sumwhr..so i call to reject the offer..
but the HR told me tat to think abt it as it is a rare chance, she said tat the HR manager tat interviewed me was impressed by my performance n wan to give me a chance to try..if i cant take it.. then i can just go, no harm trying....ya, so tat's how i got in thr..
and ya, they do not offer a lot of trainee position, only a few for depts who currently don hav a HOD.

It is possible when the company is small or looks like a factory like what she had mentioned. You can be the HOD if the department only have 1-2 ppl.

haha..u're right, my colleague told me tat the previous Dept Head also came in as a trainee like me (but of coz he was older n more experienced)
the dept ain't big, total only 10 including me..it's a new dept, only set up for abt 2 n a half yrs..so thr's alot of space for improvement..
i can see tat i'll be everything thr, planning, leading, operation, management, cust care...alot for me to learn...
anyway, i jus started for 2 days, i cant tell yet..now jus trying to learn how the dept operates..so far ok i'll say..not as bad as i thought..
but mean while thr's some calls coming in, interview for some positions n companies tat i've really wanted..
of coz, it's not 100% i'll get the other offer coz application for MNC is competitive, but, am i too greedy? or i've really rushed into things?
well, pls dun laugh at me. i know it's silly, but being so young n fresh, i know i could be naive n may make the wrong decision..tat's y i m here..
so really hope for some comments, i really appreciate your opinion..
