Auntie Oscar texted me a couple of days ago, telling me that she has a possible position in NAFA and thought that I would be a perfect fit for the role.
It's a nice feeling that someone actually thinks that I'm capable of doing more. Someone in a position of power, thinks that I am able to do more, to be part of something. Someone thought of me first when a position is open. Someone sees the potential inside of me. It's a real good feeling for someone like me who struggles with self-confidence.
Apparently, National Arts Council approached LaSalle and NAFA to create a project that would allow the freelancers in Singapore to connect with one another and prospective clients. Auntie Oscar said that she is currently proposing something for NAC. She has until end of the month to submit the proposal and NAC would get back to her by end of March. If NAFA does get the contract, Auntie Oscar would still need to fine-tune the program and it might take her roughly 3-6 months to finalize it.
I told her that I recently started my job at National Heritage Board and my contract will end in October 2018. She offered to put the position on hold for me. It means the world to me that she would do that. I will get to work in the Arts & Education industry.
My job scope would be more towards the networking aspect within the industry. That's one thing that I am looking forward to because you get to see people expressing their creativity in different ways & be in awe of their talents.
I really hope that she will get the project.
In Shaa' Allah.
