Looking for jobs

Spent almost the whole morning surfing JobsDB for job openings. Sent about 6 applications out, mainly secretarial posts. Was feeling tired again this morning, probably din sleep enough so dun really have the mood to work.

Heard from a HR colleague (HR Manager), that the job market is pretty good now as alot of people are changing jobs. By this month, most of the people have gotten their bonuses and thus its time to move on I guess. We had a few resignations just this month alone. Although the HR tried to dissuade them, they have already signed the new job appointments (which the terms are obviously much better). Hopefully I will be able to find something soon and get out of this place.

I heard from another fren the other day that she also changed job just last month. She had a 40% pay increment from her previous job. How lucky she is. Now her pay is almost ard 4k, which I got a shock. She was my pre U classmate and it never occur to me she actually can accelerate so fast. The last time I know, she was only paid like 2k+ doing some accounts and admin work. Some people are just lucky in their lives I guess. However, come to think of it, there are bound to be sacrifices when you move higher in terms of salary (and positions of coz). More work, more responsibilities and committments, not to mention putting in extra hours for overtime work.

For me, I just want a simple well-paid job. Need not be like 4k la...but enough to survive and go for tours yearly. At this moment, there is still no place that can be as good (with many benefits and good bonuses) as my current job but I am getting sick of this place coz of the sickening boss. Unless she is moving on, else I think I have to be the one to go. I like my job here but working in this shit place with completely no career advancement/ promotion, miserable increment and constantly receiving nagging and reprimanded for things beyond or not under my control is a complete waste of my time (youth too, although not any younger). I hope, really hope I can find a good job and get a new life soon.
