I was busy looking for jobs recently,and I went interviews until I felt numb and able to predict what the interviewers will ask most of the times...
However, I still haven't found a job which I really want it so much or I just not suitable for the position. For e.g, a position which never mentioned they need a Head of Department, but only putting 'Business Analyst', so I just went it...and obviously my personality and my experiences are not suitable to be HOD. Then I went another interview as they need 'marketing executive', and the interviewer talked most of the times, and he told me 'you can request any amount of basic salary as you wish (wow!), but the revenue you gain for company must at least 1/3 of your basic salary then only u can get the basic salary(huh!!?)', that means if I didn't achieve the 1/3, I get nothing? The answer is yes and he somemore asked me 'this model sounds interesting right?' I just speechless...but still need to entertain with him..'yeah, sounds like not bad...!' It is something like those multi level marketing company...all these interviews wasted my times, petrol, money, and energy...
But there are two jobs which I'm quite interested, one is doing sales, is actually a position of marketing executive for hire purchase from a local bank, while another one is key account executive which involves a lot marketing activities and events in food industry...I find myself more interested on the non-sales job as I worry of sales pressure and I prefer to involve in the marketing activities and events, because it sounds like more interesting, and I love foods..and I was wondering am I suitable to be a sales person? Imagine that wonwon or yeewen need to layan with a lot of auto dealers, and smile brightly with her biggest effort to get sales from them...wow, even myself also can't imagine it...Those who knows me, understand what I'm saying right? However, I got offer from the bank and still waiting confirmation from the food company...And actually I do really hope to try on sales as I never tried it, I won't know am I really suitable for it, and sales can really earn better income if I can do it...I was in a dilemma again..sales or non-sales job?Friends, feel free to leave your comments please..
I have to ensure that I really like the job then only I will work for it, because my experience has told me as if I don't like what I'm doing, even you have the ability, you won't contribute your best for it...and the next job decide very much about my future path. Therefore, there will be more upcoming interviews that I need to go...To choose the best which I really want it...and also to get the best offer..Or I might be the banker also as their offer is reasonable and acceptable though..=)

Wow, make sure your current colleagues and bosses have no idea about the existence of this blog! Haha.
Sales job is a good way to train your interpersonal, social, public speaking skills. You are still young and energetic, why not try it out the more challenging one first (since you said you might not be suitable to be a sales)?
The skills you learned from being a sales can be applied anywhere, anytime. =)
Bobby,they know the existence of this blog..and yet they all know that i tendered resignation letter..hahaa
