Another Job Opportunity

I have recently been offered another job through my Mum's recommendation. I actually told myself not to take any of my relatives' job recommendations too seriously since they have all failed to hook me up. But at this point in time, I have nothing to lose; even my job recruitment agent hasn't called me in weeks which is proof that I am unwanted.

The position is that of an admin assistant to a guy who deals in r/c cars (those expensive complicated ones that run on oil). I didn't know such a hobby was popular in Singapore; he even has his own race team and they travel overseas for competitions. Anyway, he has just relocated his office and was hiring help. My Mum told me to go have a look at the place first because it is not ready yet. To my surprise, the place was at Paya Lebar's GrandLink. She said the rent there was a whole lot cheaper than other shopping centres (which is both a good thing and a bad thing).

And so, I went to GrandLink to have a look. I didn't realize that the World of JJ outlet there was gone; it just goes to show what a lousy location GrandLink is. Anyway, it was a nice & simple little office with a front desk and a room in the back. The boss knew I was just there to take a look since my Mum called him beforehand. I asked him if I would be attached to some guy to teach me and he said he didn't have any other staff; most of his work (document-typing, website development, etc) were outsourced. I don't know whether to be honored or worried that I might be his one & only staff.

The boss seemed to be a DIY kinda guy as he was setting up everything by himself. When I was there, he was setting the computer and later on, a guy came to help him put up his signboard. He told me that, if I was interested, I could start work next week when the office is ready. I checked my calender and realized that 'next week' was 2006 already; I've been jobless for waaaaaaay too long. *sigh* Before I left, I told him that I will consider and I will most probably help him out.

So long as it is a challenging job and I get to learn new things (so I can finally write stuff into my resume), I guess I shouldn't have any complaints. After all, beggars can't be choosers.
