Finally Working!

Finally Working

after a month of job seeking, i've secured a job... in fact i've been working for a week liao... i'm working as a recruitment officer at an insurance firm... the job was introduced by my financial advisor... since it was like my first office bound job, I was preparing myself for the interview - buying shirt & pants and doing my 'homework' on the company...

Prior the interview, i did a personality test(DISC test)... then during the interview, the sales manager was like trying to coax me join to be financial advisor instead of recruitment officer, saying that my profile suits to do the job, as i was more of an "I" person... kept persuading me and persuading me... but i was firmed of my decision, and i was sort of prepared that I will be proached to do sales as i approached one of my volunteer friend who is a financial advisor.... anyway, i insisted that i'm only interested in the recruitment officer job... and he offered me the job immediately... i was surprised but happy that i finally found a job...

However, these few day of working, i realised that what my volunteer friend told me was true... the manager is trying to make me into a financial advisor, which i'm really reluctant to do now.... To me, if i ever be a financial planner/advisor, i'll probably do it for the rest of my life...becos i think it is my responsibility to be in the line after my clients signed policies from me... i am the one who is in charge, and i serve till the policy ends... I strongly believe in after sales services.... Now that I'm still young, I don't want to be stucked in it...so I really don't want to be one now... another thing about the job that is holding me back is that i had bad experience with MLM, and there are some similarities in both jobs in terms of marketing... so i'm really not comfortable about it...

These few days have been interesting... as i got to meet alot of people for interview and got to understand some people's characteristics... i went into looking at gestures and content of conversation to find out more abt those candidates... i also saw some of the worse resumes in my life.... the kind of photos they post totally fail one lor... anyhow take, must well don't put photo... the negative side is that the manager isn't really supportive about things i do...for example i wanted candidates to draw... he said "draw WHAT?! don't need to do that..." i just wanted to pick up more hints about the candidate, but all he is interested about is whether they wanna join us... sianz... then he is trying to send me out on streets to do 'survey' to get people come for interview... this was what i did last time... i hated it... every kid can do it... i think its kind of 'downgrading' to do it... i really don't like to do things that i got sick doing... last time really every night for 3 - 4 months, kept standing on streets in shirt and pants to pester people to do survey... agh~!

Anyway, i think i gonna endure lah... need the experience so that the next job will be easier to hook... sianz... i'm damn tired everyday...~ and on hand i have the volunteer xmas project... not really getting enough help... think its gonna be quite a sucky one... argh... i cannot let my project be yucky and sucky.... 1 more week to make it better!!! alright, thats all for my ranting... hope i can find time and chance to blog...[my 'good' brother has been hogging the computer and has not been working for dont know how long]... i shall not start another ranting... i better end here...! FULLSTOP
