Be Wise for Better Opportunities

I declined a job offer yesterday. 

I don't really know, but when it comes to contract signing, I feel like my head is always on the guillotine. At my age, I have been to three different jobs and three different contracts. It usually ended up not as good as I expected it to be. I usually end up resigning because of something that was not fulfilled in the contract. Honestly, I really hate this feeling but I know that I need it before I venture into work.

The first working contract I signed was way back three years ago. I had a good salary but I hate how the administrators treat their people. They belong to the women of God and I know that it's really hard to deal with them since they are not really TEACHERS. As early as August I want to resign already but my contract ends March of the following year. I endured all the hardships and I felt like heaven after I end my contract in that workplace which is supposed to be "heaven."

Then after two months, I ventured to another company. This time, the people are generally good and all of them are open to changes. My big problem during this time was the salary. I signed a contract having the word "CONFIDENTIAL" on the blank space where the salary is supposed to be written. I felt an anomaly was going on, but since it is a popular school, I signed it anyway. Only to find out that the salary is indeed low. Lower than what a PROFESSIONAL must be getting. I endured and finished the contract with flying colors. The school even wants me to return after I finished around 18 units of Master's degree. Literally, my head is on the guillotine, the system is not perfect and it is always us, the frontliners, who deals with these matters to the parents. I believe that the school is like this because the owner is not an educator but a BUSINESSMAN. He doesn't have any background with education.

Six days after I resign, I signed another contract. This was my previous and most recent work. I became a call center agent for three months. Salary and the people were good. My only problem is the schedule. There's always a dispute with the schedule. I ended up resigning and voluntarily not endorsing myself for certification.

Here it is now. I talked to the academic head and honestly told him that I am not interested in the position. I always think that I need to be wise in making decisions. I was not attracted with the schedule and the compensation package. I know that I will have a problem dealing with them in the future.So I declined the offer and decided to look for another work.

I remember my colleague before. She told me that there is no such thing as a perfect system. She also added that bigger institutions usually have a more corrupt and worse system. All I have to do is to follow the system but I have to resist as well in order for me not to adapt the crooked system. 

I know that I still have a lot of opportunities coming along the way. I'm still young and I know that God will give me better ones after I'm done with my Master's degree. I'll focus first on my MASTER Plan.
