Today would be the day… or so I thought.

Referring to my post prior to this, I was all set to receiving that call today at around 1400 hours, which is time the recruitment staff from that company usually calls.

But office hours are nearly over but I still haven’t got a single damn ring from them. I am beginning to feel restless and pre-occupied waiting for their call, leaving me quite disconcerted.

As advised by Carrie, it wouldn’t hurt to be pro-active and to take matters in one’s hands so I immediately called the company to follow up my status. For all I know, my papers would have ended in their inactive files for not arriving at a decision whether to take it or not on the interview date.

It turned out that the AVP Finance is scheduled to deliberate with the Recruitment Head regarding my compensation package today. By the way, I forgot to mention the last time that the rate we (the AVP and me) both agreed is higher than their standard offer price for incoming supervisors.

But for days of all days, the Recruitment head was on (emergency) leave today so I was advised to expect the call by Monday afternoon or Tuesday, by which time the two had already arrived at a compromise.

Is it a sign or what?
