Real life working experience

Wow, it is great to received a good news from the PJ company. It was so surprise to me and rush as well. My mum was argued a lots with me about my career decision made. She disagreed to let me work in PJ or even KL. She thought I better have my first work in my hometown and she does asked me to do what I don't really like. Guess what, I'm finally get approval from her to let me have a try in this new company. Yessa! (Victory scream)

I start joining the agency by 1st of August, I only have 1 day to settle down my things since they call me by 30th of July. Messy is what I have currently, and I work it out by using my best solution helper - ACER laptop and internet.I finally get a room which is located near to the office. Like what I'm doing during intern, walk and taking bus to work daily. It's damn tired yet excited.

Again, messy ruin my planning. I always forget something when I was so rush! I forgot the bring my laptop charger to the new house, forgot about my cell phone problem, blanket, etc. What a messy-rush working life beginning.

1st day in the early morning, the director was invited me to join the breakfast with them. I've rejected since when the time she asking me, I'm gnawing my lovely gardenia muffin. I replied SEE YOU LATER and prepare myself to went up the office. Who know the SEE YOU LATER become REALLY LATE........R!
Their breakfast took really long time to finish. I wait around 1 hour at outside the office till they reach. I finally know why she tell me the latest come in before 9.30am.

I get new friends, housemates as well as new learning environment. All my colleagues (not included the acc director) are MALE. Wow, currently have facing the communication problem which I have no idea how to talk with them like my intern colleagues. They are very energetic and funny, but it is hard for me if they are less approaching me and always talk about guy's topic. How could a girl interrupt the guy talk?

Phone call was the other hard work for me. I've been practiced very well to answer call during intern to answer people's questions. However, this is not same as what I've done fro this time. Now is my turn to ask people question with lack of information I have, and tell them our precise requirement before they provide us the information we want. Skill of negotiation and talking is very significant here. Wow, it's a lot of things should be learn. I know how challenge is form and this is just a lower level before I move to the next.

I thought of PR is my strength, however it is actually out of my strength. I saw the project manager work with his client very well. The way he manage the project is perfect. I'm afraid to help him because I always think -ve when I come to the realization that I couldn't done the job assign by him. Acc director is right, I can ask whatever I not sure or don't know. They are likable and  helpful, they are wiling to be your walking google search engine if you want to.

Talking about the previous interview and job application. I received some sms and phone call regards the interview invitation and job offer from the previous agency I applied. The thing is that, after I accept job offer, then come with the second and third. I have no way to go back and remake the decision again. Why not you come and offer me as soon as possible?

Anyway, this agency I've join is a great environment which provide greatest learning opportunity. Gonna start my treasure hunt right now in this agency. AZA AZA FIGHTING.
