Have faith...
On Monday, I start a new job with Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA). Trust me, when I said I am nervous about it. I would be joining them as an Events & Publicity Executive.
I think I am nervous cause the organisation deals with issues which I am very interested in – politics, international relations, geopolitics and issues of globalization. And being an ardent fan, I feel that I need to “know” such matters and not be himbo about them.
Its really funny, the initial jobscope was purely events management, and during the interview, and from my resume, it was clearly indicated that I have done marketing communications/ PR related in my previous job. As a result they expanded the jobscope to Events & Publicity in my letter of offer. Yeah hell that made me nervous cause now I am expected to deliver even more.
In spite of the nervousness and excitement, a small part of me feels comfort. Why? About two weeks ago, after one my prayers, I recited a verse from Quran for 1001 times during a particular time and it is said if you were to recite this verse according to the specifications and ask for God’s assistance, it is likely to come true. I asked for two things – one, for me to be able to get a job that would suit me hopefully by the end of the month and secondly for me to experience true happiness.
And surprisingly, this job came into the picture ...
