Hey guys, sorry for updating yah late, but I'm working now.
Haha, is it a shock? So many a time I told you I've yet to find a job...still rotting...even in the last post, I was still only spending time at home. But now, I'm happily, energetically, and enthusiastically working in DW Group as an Accounts Executive (on Probation). It's a Sales and Marketing job. Actually the day of my previous post, that was when I received the job offer from my classmate Syazwani. Well, she WAS my classmate, now she's my 'sempai' ('senior' in Japanese). Asked me if I needed a job. And I was like, "Wahlau eh...your lucky day; you caught me at the right time! Yah I'm looking for a job right now."
So I went for 1st round of interview...with this very strict and scary lady. Gave me the go to proceed to 2nd and last round of interview on the next day. That same 1st day I got to know what the company was all about, i.e. dealing with Biomagnetics. Oh, and so the next day I came back for the 2nd interview with another person, a man. (I WILL NOT disclose what happened during the interview...it's too emotional to be expressed in words.) And he too gave me the go to start work on that very day. So I did.
Next day, 2nd day of work. We were told about company rules and also all the important people that run DW. And, oho hey presto, that's when I got to REALLY, VERY CLEARLY, understand who were those 4 people I wasn't very sure of...my 2 interviewers are my Directors, the person explaining to us these stuffs is my Manager, and my Presenter-cum-Orientator is Zee, my senior, same as Syaz. Oh but on this 2nd day my head felt dumb lah...so light-headed, made a spectacle of myself by stopping every now and then to try stop the whizzing. Also this day (Saturday, by the way) was the 1st time we had a group dinner; Manager brought us out to BK. And so happened that later in the evening our 2 Directors came to further explain other newly-made company rules. And a game was started by Mr Kelvin(our male Director). MagSTORM was divided into 2 teams, MagSTORM and MS LaserARCH. The purpose is for us to compete, see who can complete more appointments. I'm in MagSTORM, by the way, with Mr Alvin(Manager), Syaz, and 2 fellow AE(Ps). LaserARCH's an all-girls team. Haha. But that doesn't mean they'll win, no matter how good Ms Jaslin(our female Director) is supporting them. There's a deadline for the competition, and the team that loses...wahlau I CANNOT let my team lose, 'cause the penalty is quite huge...
Sunday came, and I STILL went to work. Yup, it's a 7-days-a-week affair. But anyway this day, an important announcement was told during the important meeting. Too complexed to explain, so I won't. But anyway everything went so fast, and off I was for an appointment with a client, attached to Zee as my senior.
Then Monday. Cool day. 1st time ever we had training session with Mr Peter, MagSTORM's Executive Director. And also 1st time ever our group had dinner with BOTH our Directors. Manager not in. And wahpiang I was sandwiched between the 2 Directors at the coffeeshop table.
It may just have been 4 days, but already I've seen changes in the way I look at situations and think about things. It seems I never ever think "I'll try" anymore; now it's always "I'll definitely do." Despite my family's unsupportive stance as to my job, I still love going to work. I come punctually, I want to leave late. Once I even wanted to stay overnight at the office, 'cause it was only 1 hr away to midnight. But of course I didn't lah.
I love this job. I think I'll find it hard to leave once 2 months is over (2 months because by the 3rd, Poly would have started and I don't want to work and go to school at the same time). Haha. Really, I love this job to the extent that right now I'm defying against my mom just to attend work. Love it.
