At times, we need to make some career decision.. As the saying opportunities only strike once. A couple of months ago an offer for a Asst Spa Manager position was offered in my previous company, another similar position are also available in Hyatt Hangzhou and my manager spoke to me in regards to my promotion, at that moment, I was in a crossroad and wondering which direction I should go. After much of consideration, I decided to turn down the offer from my previous company.
Even though I have some emotion ties with the company, as this is the company that taught me a lot, cultivated me to who I am today but it comes the time when you need to leave the nest and explore more of the world. Even thought my previous company is a very good established resort, one that I kind of “grew up” with, but I think the 7 years or so that I was with them was just enough for me to grow and now that I have left them for about 2+ years, I realized that it was really the time for me to leave the place and learn about another type of organization since the resort is quite small and it was not an international brand hotel.
Now as for my other 2 options: the position at Hangzhou and the one over here are still on pending mode. The position in Hangzhou is not being approved since my manager do not wish to release me over here, therefore I am not able to get the inter-hotel transfer. However just recently, my manager just informed me an upsetting news even though might bring my promotion closer but I am still wondering if its a good or bad news. My promotion here is also still being determined if they have any labor quota for the Assistant Manager position, which apparently, there isn’t, therefore would need to reapply which takes some time. So it still remains a BIG ? if I will be promoted. I will just wait and see on what will happen next and make any other decisions according to the outcome then.
