After such an arduous search, i finally landed a job... thou' alreadi mentally prepared tt returning to the banking world means long hrs but i was determined to give it a shot. I racked my brain long & hard over the countless days & mths, wondering wat kind of a career i would like to have? It was a veri tough choice. At times, i can't help to wonder isit cos being a Gemini, having dual personality & strong versatility tt makes me hard to find a direction? Cos i believe i can adj & do practically any ofc jobs. On the other hand, i hope my job can satisfy a few criterias, such as a reasonable salary to compensate my yrs of wrk exp & degree, decent hrs for wrk-life balance, a job tt can lead to a long-term career growth in the org/industry & lastly, at a centralised location.
Lately, been talking to some frens & they seem to be equally lost as i do. We all hv this constant nagging worried... i duno isit i plan too far ahead or shld i juz be a complacent person who live by the day? When u r a fresh grad, u be full of vigour & fighting spirit... somehow when u hav been in the working society for some yrs, tt spirit will juz dim & fade away.... How to always re-ignite tt spirit at critical moments?
How to know if tt's the job for you? I guess i always tell myself to give it a try bef i made any decision. So aft much consideration between two job offers last wk, i decided to try doing operations in a foreign bank. Thou' it's only a short-term ctt, i appreciate the sincerity showed by the bosses who gave me an opportunity to learn. Wif no relevant experience, it's a rare chance to gain some exposure in this specialised area.
However, today is only 2nd day of work & i alreadi discover tt wat i'm gg to do is veri dry & boring stuff. How can i motivate myself to wrk everyday? Juz tink of pay-day every mth cos i need $$ to survive? Then, juz ''tong'' thru ... see how long i can survive? Aiyo! I'm alreadi loaded wif intensive on-the-job training, taught by my peers. The ppl in my team r helpful fr my observation so-far. But i yet to get to noe each of them...as we r all so immersed at doing our wrk.
Suddenly, i wish i've more commitments... such as having a housing loan or family to feed! Maybe wif these so-called s'porean commitments, then i can be 'forced' to stick to a job. I muz be MAD liao... i tink i'm a legless bird :(
For those ppl who tink tml, CNY's eve is sure half-day... i really envy u all lo, cos all my holidays eves' gg be burnt! In future, may even sayonara to the PHs! OMG!
