Out of the Blue offer…

Friday, September 26, 2008

Ok, I was given an opportunity to work in Japan for a small company offering a ERP solution to a small~medium sized business.

The offer was given last WED (Sept 24) and I said yes after a little convincing from my instructor.

The very next day (THU Sept 25) I was asked to meet the client, and so I did.

He accepted my application and asked me to come by his office tomorrow to pass my resume and passport to process the documents and to be briefed about the system.

And once again I did.

And now I’m here in his office doing something that I was not asked to do.. To start working.

I’m wasn’t told when to start working, how long am I suppose to work, and the days I’ll work.

I had passed my resume. I had passed the passport. I have been briefed about the system and testing it out. 

What was told happened already and something else is happening which is not part of the arrangement.

Now I’m stuck here in his office mentally forcing myself to work (AT ONCE).

Sad part was, I was expecting a free shift and Mon-Fri working days.. But I was told informally that the working hours is 8:30AM~5:30PM. And was formally informed that they work on Saturdays T_T — 9:00AM to 3:00PM

I was also informed informally that the working time in Japan will be 9:00AM-6:00PM. I just hope that they don’t have Saturday working days there…
