I had already sort of made up my mind on the path I wan to choose.. Spent the evening with my boss to discuss the plans they had for me.. We both agreed that I'm still too 'green' to move into sales.. It won't be easy for sumone w/o much exp to sell rooms for Hotel.. I would have age-gap with the clients and they might hv the feeling that I'm not serious enough.. In short, I'm still not mature enuff.. Moreover, I'm not an admin person and replacing SM is out of question and I'm surprised she actually tink likewise too!! She had been observing me and decided to upgrade my position coz I can't be a miserable co-ordinator throughout my employment.. Mktg Svc Exec is a new (desk-bound) position and I will be doing nothing but reports and brain storm on Hotel promotions.. Catering Sales will give me the opportunity to move ard in the Hotel as I would need to run all events.. I like both areas and asked if I can do both at the same time.. She said I can try!! Wow!! I seldom see her so supportive b4 man..

Next was the pay.. I tried to sound her out by asking how much increment would I get.. Intially she did not want to disclose much, told me not to worry.. But guess she can't stand my 'endless' questionings and asked how much would I be satisfied.. 20% increment is my answer, she did a calculation and knot her head.. But she dun seem convinced, maybe I had asked for too much.. So I'm still stucked at the pay issue.. No head no tail.. Sigh..

Anyway, I will still go ahead with my interview @ Joe's (my ex-boss) bro co. later today.. Heard that he can pay really well.. So no harm trying my luck to see if there's any good catch later.. *fingers crossed*
