Interview 6 - the interview was 1 wk+ ago. Still no news. I reckon that this should have bit the dusk. That's the problem with looking for job in Singapore. The recruiter just can't be bothered about the feelings of the job-seeker, not even an email to inform...so sad...I was hopeful about this.
Interview 7 - I don't really fancy this although 1 year back, I would have jumped for it. I need to set my records straight.
Interview 8 - this is happening on Thursday, 11/6. It will be almost a dream job, if I nail this. However,I felt it's going to be a long shot. I will gun for it anyway. Come on!!! I need to move on and start contributing.

Interview 6 - This is turning positive. This wednesday, 2nd interview with the Group MD (top man!). If I nailed this, this should be it....
Interview 7 - If Interview 6 goes well, I should forgo Interview 7. This just don't give me the sense that it is solid...
So...Big day on wednesday.

ok. I went with interview 6 and 7 today.
6 - an interesting turnout. Was looking for snr finance mgr, they ask me to go for another role - controller. I suspect they couldn't find anyone for that role, because the work location is far north. 2 months ago, I would have said no, but now, I said I would consider, depending on the offer. Role is good, but distance a concern. Let's see. I do feel good about my chances after walking out. X my fingers here.
7 - a young advertising company. all finance functions are outsourced and they want to bring it in-house. Sounds like a gd place, my concerns? sustainability of cash flow and achieving their plans....I didn't have a good feeling leaving this interview.

Start date - Feb 09
Now - Mid-May 09
Result so far:
1. 1st interview - the employer wanted a work machine and its a very technical position. So no go.
2. 2nd interview - the employer wanted a more junior person...so no go.
3. 3rd interview - a listed S-chip company. but they couldn't pay so they end up getting a junior guy. Also probably, they didn't a FC that poke too much. A younger guy will be more flexible.
4. 4th interview - biggest exhibitor in the world...waited for a wk plus already..no result. likely to have hit the dusk...but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.
5. 5th interview - local listed company. Waiting for 2nd round, if it comes. But the way, the interview goes, sounds a bit funny. current FC still in the job, a 41 yrs old. Not sure if I'm going to replace him or what? Will need some clarity, later on...

Update
It's been a long while...I've moved again. I started on my current job on the 1st Feb 2008. It's been 16 months. Time flies....
In fact, I'm trying to move again mainly because of the recent pay cut. How's that? cutting my own pay, of course the rest of the company came along, but it was and still is a lousy feeling. Another reason is of course, the lack of challenge...In my opinion, I've done what I can for the company, doing up procedures, getting some discipline in the financial arena. So I'm searching for a job in the midst of the economic crisis.
