(but im feeling rather uneasy cos tones of ppl walk pass my desk..)
Well, there are many sudden random thoughts that ran through my mind just now.
I saw these 2 colleagues who r pretty high rank being chided in a rather harsh manner by a lady who’s higher up the corporate ladder
It got me thinking really deep..
If anybody ever thought im straightforward and harsh, then they’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg.
The real working world out there is merciless and to some extend cruel. There is practically zero tolerance for mistakes while it is assumed that one will meet expectations..
Im pretty glad I stepped out of my comfort zone despite some objections from my parents.Taking up various part time jobs then finally settling down for a job that will prepare for what I’ll face in the future.Man, I must say Ive learnt a lot. As much as Ive got to agree, each job stint gives u different experiences, I must say the current job ive got right now is the one that has really made me grow, learn and mature.
Past experiences in the retail field was nothing. People in general were just ultra bitchy & childish (well, cos its all students working there..).Yeah. That made me really weary of people ,because it seems everyone was putting a sweet façade, yet deep down tracking ur every move, pouncing on every chance to bring you down.
Then my job as a recep was one hell of a great time. People there were far too kind to me but then again, I learn how important it was to make people like you,to grab every opportunity you could to know people and make them remember you.
Next up was the telemarketing job which to some extend was stressful, because there are expectations to be met and the boss wasn’t too kind to overlook ur flaws or give you any allowance just because you’re a temp staff.
And now from my current job, I learnt that networking and socializing is one hell of a vital skill that every person ought to possess to survive in the corporate world.(or to b successful) And you could guess that’s not a skill easy to master. Because you wouldn’t wanna come across looking like you’re trying too hard or give yourself away by looking uneasy.
And ofcourse, the people ard you may not be all that nice as they seem to be. Some try to dump you all their work, while some observe your every move, hoping to catch your every flaw.
Don’t be mistaken.. im not having a hard time at work la. infact ive been too bored. Having my own free time 7 hrs a day (out of 8 working hrs). Which explains the abundant time ive got to observe people, evaluate their every gesture and have deep thoughts.
