Working Life

My Working Life Journey :

1st Job - Financial Institution : Credit Department

I spend most of my time in the office, spent most of my time there. Therefore, my office is my 1st home. I only go home 2 sleep. Work n Sleep, Work n Sleep, day in n day out. It’s a secured job, no doubt about it. But time to socialize seems to be a little difficult for me.

2nd Job - Telecommunication Company : Administration/Accounts

After 2 years in F.I. and I left, reason is to go into business and I begun by helping n at the same time, learning from my dad. But getting into business is not as easy as it sounds. Usually i got up early, getting ready for work, rushing for punch clocks. Now, i woke up late, start work whenever we wanted to, take a longer break time. but we work till late night, we work hard. not that easy. anyhow, i followed him almost a year & business wasn't really picking up & it wasn't a good year at that time. so i started to look for a job again. I went to my 2nd job in one of the leading Telecommunication Company at that time and i was there for a year plus in accounts department. while I was working, physically I m at my desk, but my mind was wandering into starting a business.

3rd Job - Hotel Industry : Bartender

I joined a new hotel as a bartender, started training during the contruction of the hotel. Bartender is one of many other positions in the hotel and to me, it is the most interesting position I have ever been so far. although i m not a drinker, seriously, but I have enjoyed and gone through nice experience being a bartender. We learned from our seniors on the mixture of ingredients for cocktail drinks n mocktail drinks. different drink is prepared differently n different glasses is used. Eventhough, I have never experience being in the beverage line, as we go along, we take up other skills like, juggling wine bottles, glasses even orange fruits, and we xchange skills among ourselves. We learn about cigars and wines. Some bartenders resigned and some new bartender came in. And I learn from many of them n we keep on learning and sharing our beverage knowledge and skills. Its surprising to see what the new comers can contribute to our beverage department. thats what we normally do to keep on improving. I enjoyed being a bartender. I missed those days.

4th Job - Hotel Industry : Night Auditor/Accounts

I join another Hotel as a Night Auditor. Another interesting job and a more challenging one. Working from 11pm till 7am, doing report to the GM.

5th Job - Hotel Industry : Finance/Accounts

I went back to the previous hotel where I was once a Bartender back then. But now in the Finance/Accounts Dept.

6th Job - Back to Financial and Banking Industry : Credit Department

...until today. I don't know how long can I hang on to this. It has been 7 years so far,
since I left d hotel industry. I started in Banking Line and now back to the same industry.
This time around is very much different from the last time.
The culture of banking has changed n it will be a drastic change in the near future.
