I Like My Job.. So Far...

Okay here's a little update about my new job. I love what I do so far and there is still a lot more to learn. I hope it gets better and there isn't anything I like least about my job. Everyone is so super friendly and they welcomed me with warmth like family. Everyone that I meet greeted me "Welcome Aboard!" wherever I go and my passport size picture was placed up on the notice board to welcome me as well.

My designation in the hotel is as a management trainee and I'll be working for them for 1 year. My contract ends next year in August and I'll be pursuing my studies then. You may think that 1 year is a very long time and I'm just wasting my time. If that' is what you think, I'll have to disagree with you. I don't see why I have to rush about finishing up my studies. After I graduate as a degree holder, I'll be working my whole life! Plus, I don't want to graduate without any related experience nor have a clear clue about what I do. I'll be in the Marketing Communication (Marcom) Department for 6 months, 3 months in Event Department and the last 3 months would be in either Sales Department or at the Front Desk. I am not so keen about going to the front desk coz the working schedule will be in shifts. Ivy (Marketing Communication Executive) told me that it's also up to me of going to which department so I'll see how it goes.

My job is to assist Ivy in her PR work, handle printing materials with the graphic designer, and take pictures for events. I have to read 2 types of newspapers everyday (NST and The Star), cut out any articles that is related to hotels or ads publication of GHotel for scanning, faxing documents, photocopying documents, make phone calls to order people for pick-ups (I feel like a boss haha), MSN, Facebook haha, and attended an interview with the General Manager by The Star. This is just the beginning part of my work and there are still lots to learn. There will be many upcoming events and charity event to be organized which 2 of it are for of Hannah Tan's. I hope it's going to be really fun! My very own email was finally been set-up (angie.chen@ghotel.com.my) earlier and I'm using a temporary laptop borrowed from the Sales Department. Until Ivy gets her laptop, then only she will pass on her computer to me.

I work only on weekdays which are one of the reasons I like my job haha. lol My work starts at 8.30am and ends at 5.15pm but I do not clock out on the dot. So far I normally leave the office about 6pm.

No more bumming around and contemplating about what to do everyday. I can still party on weekends! Ahaha.. biggrin

cristin-well both has its advantages ler. the reason dey wanna put me in front desk is to know how the hotel really runs n stuff not jz do internal work. dey jz informed me earlier dat ill be in the event department/sales. both department is under 1 office so yah im goin to do sales as well. as for being in the front desk, ivy alrdy told dem dat she will put me in a office hr shift. i love her lah.. she's so nice!!
