my 7 mths of working stints finally end here today.
am officially off to enjoy the rest of my hols before i'm packed back to school. =)
from dec to feb, i was in a jap bank where i met so many nice colleagues who were so generous, always giving me treats in restaurants, doting on this xiao mei mei.
haha...
but also had to deal with different bosses with different tempers while i was transferred from one dept to another.
from end-march to end-may, i was in a french bank where i felt that i was given the most respect.
wasnt being treated just as a temp staff who's there to clear up boring admin work for them, but everything that i helped to do was very much appreciated.
the aunties love me and always gave me small lunch treats too.
boss is strict to the perm staff but treats me well since i'm just a temp staff.
even threw a farewell party on my last day.
lol
for the month of june, i worked at downtown east dealing in customer service and sales.
the most demanding job of all, the most tiring one of all.
working in a fun environment doesnt fill the job with fun, but with more stress and problems at work.
learnt how terrible/demanding/kiasu some singaporeans are.
learnt how irresponsible ppl can get.
learnt how bad office politics can be.
learnt how frustrating it can be when u meet ppl who makes life difficult and i begin to wonder if i'll have such ppl as project grp mates in future.
learnt how to communicate better with small kids.
learnt how impt it is to have ppl supporting you admist much pressure and fear and exasperation.
learnt how job satisfaction comes from the gratefulness of customers.
learnt how customers can make your day when they bother to fill up the feedback form to compliment you.
learnt that i'm more suited for office work rather than customer service.
a zillion million thanks to diana, jessie, jwen, mariah and mich for listening to ALL my grumbles and being able to understand and support me. haha..
also many many thanks to roslan, the best duty manager one can ever have, for all those rides home, all the things i've learnt, and understanding my exasperation.
lol =)
