WHO CAN HELP ME!!!!

judging by the title, most'll guess tt i am going to complain about being jobless again.. but NO! i am not going to complain about being jobless again.. in fact, i've gotten job offers.. & now i really don't know what to do because these job offeres came all at the same time and i don't know which one to choose!!

ok, actually, to be exact, i've got 1 job offer (super comfirm hiring me) & 2 interviews (1 i think quite comfirm hiring me & the other my agent say chances is high).. i really don't know what to do now.. even my mum doesn't know.. i am desperately in need of help.. who can advice me in this?.........

this morning i went for an interview in a recruitment firm. that consultant say the company wanting to hire help is panasonic & it's a temporary position for 4 months.. the pay is $6.50 per hr & 5days work week.. he told me he'll contact the other party to arrange for an interview time with me..

later in the afternoon, i went for another interview in hougang, it's a very small private company(i think at most only 15 workers, office only got 3, inclusive of the boss), they are desperately in need of people & they asked me to start work tomorrow.. they paying me $1,000 per month & 5 1/2 day work week.. i told them i'll discuss with my parents & get back to them by tonight & when i stepped out of their office, the agent called & asked me go for interview tomorrow.. i asked him what's the chances of me getting that job, he said it's quite high..

then when i reached home, another company in tanjong pagar called & asked me turn up for interview tomorrow afternoon. when they heard that i've an interview with panasonic same time tomorrow, they brought forward the interview time & the caller added,"maybe tomorrow you come for interview & cancel your that appointment in the afternoon."*obviously, people'll not ask you cancel appointment if they are not willing to hire you right? so means my chances of getting this job is quite high too*

if we were to let aside the 3rd company(because i don't know what's the working hour & salary they offering), i still have a big headache.. first of all, i really wanna go for the 2 interviews tomorrow, i mean they are opportunities right? and when opportunities come knocking on my door, shouldn't i go & try? i mean if i give up these opportunities, then i am throwing away that 50% of chances (that they may hire me).. on the other hand, if i am going for interviews tomorrow, then what i tell that company in hougang? i can't possibly tell them the truth right?

here are the pros & cons in working in the respective companies:
-in panasonic-
advantages:
1) higher pay
2) only 5 working days
3) it's near town (in between bugis & suntec)
4) make my resume looks much more attractive to my future employers (working in MNC before can definitely impress employer, even if it's only a temporary job)
disadvantages:
1) big company, a lot of politics & policy
2) a lot of rules & regulations
3) it's far from my house, i need to transfer 2 times before reaching the company
4) it's only an interview & they may decide not to hire me afterall

-company in hougang-
advantages:
1) they're comfirm hiring me
2) small company so easier to mix & get along with
3) it's relatively nearer to my house, only need to transfer once
4) not many rules & regulations(like dress code), so i can be less rigid
disadvantages:
1) pay not so high (average on $5/hr)
2) need to work on sat as well
3) i can't quit as & when i like (they planning to hire me till uni starts & they're hiring a perm around 1 month before i leave & that person'll be under me for one month to learn from me), so it's like kind of 'tied down', can't seek better job opportunities

i watched this japanese drama when i was in secondary, i forgot what's the name of the show already (borrowed the vcd from my classmate), but there's this indroduction that i really can't forget.. the female lead narrates," finding love is like hailing taxi: when you want to hail a taxi, they're always hired; when you finally give up & decide to take another transport, empty taxis start showing up in foront of you," the older i become, the more i think this statement is true, not only in finding love, but also in other aspects of life, like when i am looking for a job now. a few days back i was so frustrated about being jobless & today, i am vexed because i have too many options.

haha..LIFE..
