Sidqie, thank you for your open and honest response.
At this stage, I recommend that you just keep me informed of your
progress. I will be open with PMI and let them know your circumstances -
I feel they will understand this and if their recruitment process
allows, they may be able to keep you in contention. If I tell them that
you are just not available, they will immediately dismiss your
application.

How does this sound?

Best wishes in the process for both Grad applications.

Regards,
Courtenay

Hi Courtenay,

Thank you for call today, and gave me an update on PMI.

Sorry couldn't talk much, as I was in the middle of a meeting, and was
on a short break when I called you up.
I clarified a few things with my work colleague, definitely she'll be
away starting tomorrow until end of next week. And because I am the main
point of contact for the Maintenance Area, I will not be able to take
some time off until she's back to work.

For your information, I am currently during the final stages of Graduate
Recruitment selections process, with both National Foods, and Ford. For
me, this quite an opportunity to break into the FMCG industry, or the
Automotive industry.

Either way though, the competition is fierce. Having approx. 2000
applicants for each company, and only 1 and/or 2 Logistics/Purchasing
position on offer respectively by the companies, it is something
prestigious if we're selected.

I am currently through to the final interview process. As a matter of
fact, I just had my final interview with National Foods today at lunch
time. I am waiting for the final result from Nat Foods by end of next
week, or Ford by another 2 weeks.
Both positions, however, commence early 2009 in january or february. A
long wait I know, but it's worth it.
In terms of salary packaging, they have a very competitive packaging,
51-53k base, or 55-57 package, and have a 6 monthly performance/salary
review.
Plus, they are all located quite nearby from where I live, which is very
convenient; and probably recently added to my list-to-have for my next
employment opportunity.
Ford, as you know is in Broadmeadows. And National Foods, will move to
Dockland area pretty soon. Less travel time, and less fuel costs.

Yes, I think their Supply Chain practices / Procurement procedures are
extremely well developed and comprehensive, and am still "drooling" to
gain a deeper understanding of their procurement procedures. I'd love to
have another round of discussion with them.
But at the same time, unfortunately, I cannot guarantee any promises to
proceed with the role with PMI. Since I attended the Assessment Centres
for the Graduate Position last week, I am giving my commitment on this
path. For this time period anyway. Until I received the final outcome.

I am not sure how do we want proceed from here. I never thought that PMI
had any second thought about my application after a decision was made on
my first interview. Your suggestion and advice is very much welcome.



Kind Regards,


Sidqie Djunaedi
