My Career Journey

Phew.

It has been 3 years since my last update. My writing skill is so bad that I have to take a few minutes to write 1 short paragraph. But no worries, we can always practice and practice.

So, last time I told you about how I spend my 3 months in Penang enroll in eGHI program. A few months after that, I join a program called Graduate Employability Enhancement Program for SMART Selangor (PROGRESS for short). It was 1-month classroom training and 6 months of on-job training. The objective was to get us ready for our first job. They trained us with 8 modules (corporate-related stuff).

The participants were divided into a few groups of 30 if I'm not mistaken. So for a month, we did everything together, It was very enjoyable because I'm not friendly and I rarely make friends, so being in this program somehow expand my circle of friend.  



After a month, we were placed in company that we applied for. I chose a company in Kota Damansara, it is the closest one to home. It is an engineering consultant company and I worked as a Corporate Communication Executive. But I only lasted for less than 2 months. I guess I'm not really into it.

Then, Intan told me there's an opening for a part-time in Pejabat ADUN. Well, I guess that's fine. At least I have a job. So I became a Program Assistant there for a few months. Then when the application for the program is getting less and less (no work to do), a staff there recommend me a job in Colgate.

So, in Colgate I work as Order Processing Assistant. At first, I was excited. Clearly, it was a whole new thing for me. However, I was struggling to remember all the code for me to key in the order into the system. I try so hard. I even bring home the product list. But a few months later I gave up. I'm not good at this job. So, I quit.

Later, I got this Marketing Executive job. At first, I thought I would be working in office environment. But actually, I'll be working in a call center. I never expected that. Since I've already passed the interview, might as well I try. Here I have to sell insurance. The system will call the database, and my job is to explain the insurance plan and enrolled them.

I thought it was ok. But nope! It was so difficult. Most of the time they just hung up. At that time I know how all the telemarketers felt. Hahaha. It only lasted for 5 months. Why? Because every time I got home I felt very stressed out. I started to develop suicidal thoughts. Over and over and over again. I never thought I would get that far. Deep down I know I won't commit suicide. It's a sin. But I better get the hell out of that environment before things got worse.


I was unemployed for a month before I join my current company. I'm still a telemarketer but non-sales related. It's a BPO company. I was so grateful (still am) as I got an opportunity to work here. For the first few months, I thought I would be here for a short while. And this year is my second year here. Hahaha. Working here has changed me, literally. Not only I'm more confident to voice out my opinion or comments, but I'm also are getting plumper and plumper. People who rarely see me might not recognize me I think. Heheh. 

Although I love working here, but I want to move forward. I want to be successful. I want to have more challenges. I want to achieve more. So, for a couple of months, I've been looking for a job. But I guess my rezeki is still with this company. No problem. I just give my best for this company.





So there you go my entire resume. Any recruiters about want to hire me? I'm available with 1-month notice. Heheh. 

Adios!
