Time to move on..

its final, i just tendered my resignation.

i got a corp comms position with SINDA.
good place to start, i believe since i want to venture into social development / social work.

alot of reasons y its better, mostly cos the job wil provide me with more personal gratification (i hope), a better pay and a more conducive working environment.

Where inshah allah a person's ability to perform and deliver will not be based on the clothes you wear, where inshah allah your attractiveness and credibility is not determined by whether u wear the hijab or show more skin.

Why is it that to succeed in PR you have to be pretty, dress well (read: attractive), be of non-indian/malay origin. Ok, there probably are some indians or malays who are doing well in PR, but I have yet to see a tudong wearing person excel in it. Care to prove me wrong?

recently the other team's lady boss asked me in to tell me that she likes my work and would like me to provide supprt to her team, attend meeting with them and service clients. however, her major concern was my hijab. she mentioned that this may make me look less approachable or friendly. She suggested i wear a bandanna to work and more light colors. For one thing, i cannot imagine wearing a bandanna to work everyday, and in what way would that be more formal than the hijab? for a while, i almost decided to conform, but then decided against it.

reflecting back, i realise that PR has not given me much personal gratification, i dun get alot of job satisfaction out of it. so heck, i'd rather to someting else, something that will inshah allah make me happier.

i pray that all goes smooth for this position in SINDA. inshah allah.
