im starting work tmr.
a bit anxious. a bit excited. a bit nerve-wrecking. a bit enthusiastic.
i hope its sth i can cope with. besides the long journey on the train i have to endure twice every week, tat is.
thou with a considerably wide-range of working experience in Sg i wld say, its still a whole new feeling when it comes to holding a job in auz. of cos, the 1st being the working environment and the people. and not forgetting, their working culture.
with my 'adaptability', i wld choose to think that i can handle it pretty well. i hope.
i reckon marketing is similar to sales in many aspects, for eg, the ultimate aim to increase sales and bring in more clients for the co. well, i ve nv really enjoyed sales, cos i dislike competition and stress. salespersons usually have to compete with fellow peers to make sure they dun too badly for their monthly sales results. and pressure comes from within oneself. and unfortunately, im the type to push myself to the max in order to achieve the results i desire. not a very positive trait i think. giving onself too much unnecessary worries.
not sure how this marketing job will turn out, but i do have the confidence to proclaim that i will do my very best (as cliche as it may sound) and make this an enjoyable working experience in my last 6 mths in Auz.
