Years spent in company : /
Location : KL
Tenure : Full-time
Experience : fresh grad

my pay is average i think, but considering the future position they're offering upon confirmation, i thought it's a good opportunity..especially for fresh grad like me..plus i m working on something that's 100% not related to my studies..lol

the company is a SME, many of my frens actually ask me to wait for chances to work wif mnc..well, but i thought this is a good chance to learn..wad do u guys think??

Ya...i jus started for few days...but i'm getting some calls from some MNCs for the position tat i've applied previously..

some asking for me to attend tests/ 2nd interviews..

i'm in kinda dilemma, the current job is ok, moderate pay, n tones to learn..plus it's very near to whr i stay, save time & $$

but shud i try out others too..?? my frens kept saying tat work in MNC is better, i do agree tat at first i was kinda turn off by the current working enviroment..coz it's more like a typical factory office..not the kind tat we fresh grad always imagining for some 'glamour' o 'high class' company..

plus i do saw some lack of discipline thr, can see some young workers & aunties gossiping & joking around more than working (n they happen to be in my department! lol) But i took this offer coz i felt like to be able to start off with training as a Dept Head is not something a fresh grad like me can easily get (especially in big co like MNC)..well, but MNC do offer some more professional training & working enviro..

..i m still so fresh..hope u guys can give some opinion really..help pls...

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..

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.

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..
