my ex-company has vacancy and asked if i want to go back.
i have been working as casual worker for almost 2 years due to the
financial crisis, so this is an opportunity to regain my "original
status".
however, i have some reservations. the company had a
change of management, so the culture is different now. i am
afraid of being rejected by my ex-company if i apply for the
job. i also feel embarrassed to let them know that i was
merely a casual worker since i left the company years ago. in
addition, i have a "phobia" of burn-out. i am afraid that if
i take up the job, i may quit again.
currently i am picking up new knowledge and skills. if i
go back, it would disrupt the new career development.
nevertheless, if i stay with the new career development, there is
no guarantee that it will take off due to competition and
age. i was good at my last job, however as it's been a while
since i was at it, i am not sure if i still have the passion to
excel in it.
i have gotten used to the freelance lifestyle of a casual
worker. i have a strong resistance against "losing my
freedom" by taking up an office job. the drawback of
casual work is the unstable income which a "proper" day job will be
able to give.
what should i do ? apply or not to ? how do i break
my inhibition ?
just apply
if rejected, just treat as not successful and stay on in your
freelance first lor
if not rejected, and accepted, and since they accepted you on
the basis that your resume had reflected you had been doing
freelance, so if the HR allows you to pass through, then just
accept the job lor
