Hi everybody,
How are you?
It is time to keep you update on my work progress.
This week, I started to learn the recruitment process. Find it quite okay and relatively easy, except that a lot of things need to be prepare before the interview. I made a mistake; don’t know whether to consider it as a major or minor mistake. I was supposed to send out the invitation email to invite the candidates for an interview in May, but it turned out that I invited them to the interview in June!!! Omg only realized the mistake when supervisor told me. Then after I resent the email, again I made the mistakes. I am supposed to change three of the date in the email, but I only changed two of them! Hehehee. Can’t help it, because as workloads are getting heavier, I realize I tend to be carefulness.
Anyway during the interview, I am supposed to wait at the receptionist counter for the candidates to arrive, bring them to the waiting room and collect the relevant documents from them.
Btw I am no longer eating alone le. I met this lady at the receptionist counter. She is the PA for our company, but she is currently covering the receptionist’s duty temporarily. Our meeting is very funny and unusual. Initially I address her as “aunty”. Then she asks me: “WHAT? You called me “aunty”? Am I really very old?” I was liked shouldn’t I called you “aunty”, because she seemed to me is around 40+ to 50+.
I said: “Then how old are you?”
She replied: “I am only 30+.” LOL…anyway, it teaches me not to address people as “aunty”, address them as “lady”.
But I knew that she didn’t take it to heart.
She started to chat with me, even inviting me to go lunch together with her and a few colleagues. And I told that when I have lesser work to do, I will join her for lunch. She even wanted to treat me to lunch during my last day. I rejected her, I told her very paiseh. But she said: “Because of fate, then I can get to know you. So never mind!” From the conversation with her, I gained a lot of knowledge and she told me a lot of principle in life.
One thing she said which I find it very interesting and not surprising is “Nowadays, Diploma is like the water in the drain. Degree is nothing compared to the last few generation.” She told me that for my generation, lives am going to be tougher. “In order to survive, you have to study as much/high as you can”, she said. And I agreed totally with what she said.
She asked me how come I am so smart. I told her that I scored very badly during my primary school days, failing every of my subjects, except mother tongue very often. I even went to NA Stream, but later got promoted to the Express Stream in the second half of the semester. The reason that I decided to buck up is because I hate being looked down / despised by others, especially relatives. That is why I made up my mind to work hard and study hard.
But she said: “As long as you have tried your best and you are happy with it, it doesn’t matter how others look at you. Always have an aim. Aim abit higher, even if you don’t reach your aim, you will still be happy. The most important thing is must have CONFIDENT in whatever you do!”
I told her: “The higher the aim, the more disappointed you will be.” But she told me that it doesn’t matter. Because you will still be happy with the outcome. And I find it quite truth. I remembered scoring a C+ for CSW and mummy complaint that my result slip looked very ugly because with all modules getting As and one module getting C+. And I told her that what can I do now. I am not disappointed with the result at all, though I did aim for a B for CSW. I knew that I must always be satisfied with what I do.
Alright back to work again. Besides starting with the recruitment process, I had also learnt to book air ticket for officials going oversea for conference. And have also learnt to apply for travel insurance and booking of hotel for them.
Haiz, my workload is getting more and more.
BUT THAT IS WORK! With work, then you will have $$$.
How are you?
