The week 4 intern journey

it pass fast yet memorable,

the challenges getting tough and more as time pass,

week 4 never be the week to relax,

one again,

it was whole new experiences,

this week what new is our office have new 7 intern on board,

suddenly our office become crowdly,

it was first time i need to compete to call with 7 line available,

not only phone line,

water as well become limited source,

not need to say for pc,

before that,

few consultants have to share,

now more people with one pc!!!

the interns come at wed,

3 has been allocated same level as mine,

while other 4 is at lower level,

then i been told to attend training,

that where the disaster begin,

when i start to step on the bom,

it happen when my manager brief us what is our daily target,

60 calls per day to invite candidates came to interview,

20 interview to conduct,

50 calls to update candidate profiles,

50 data to key in,

12 resume out

that not include job matching, answer calls, attend walk-in candidates, photocopy, administrative works....etc...

all this tasks take more than 13 hr to finish,

but we only work 9 hr,

wow,

when i read the target,

i feel a sense of cant be accomplish,

then i so kepo that i suggest to my manager,

told her the calculation,

at the end,

she require me to do proposal....

this proposal make me tense for few day,

i headache doing it,

i seem simple yet to make it not offend,

it damn hard!

i straight have discussion with other intern and gathering their thought,

to make calculation less ideal yet realistic,

i do simple test and record the time,

from source,

i know my manager wont change target no matter what,

so i know i useless to suggest her to reduce target,

i turn it to other way,

and make it became a target review which show her analysis of time to complete those tasks.

finally i submit on friday,

after i submit i really blame myself for being kepo,

doing what i should nt do,

however, if time turn back,

i still do the same,

from that i learn a valuable reason,

dont find trouble and dig a hole to step in.

after all the interns in,

i found out previously i been treat unfair,

i suppose to have more training before on job,

but they let me went explore without guide,

it let me walk the path i should not,

let me fall and got scolded,

then,

due to many interns,

they have much more advantage than when i was the only intern,

when my colleagues said,

please slow down, our new intern cant follow,

what the hell,

when i was new,

no one even stop down for me,

not only that,

they approach me to ask me what to do,

last time i had no one to approach when doubt,

when ask,

i had to take risk being scold,

it seem like new interns been guide and help,

our company seem spoon feed them,

while me,

they let me go by my own,

the more i saw,

the more i felt unfair...

now i even have to teach them,

that not the task of their supervisor?

i wonder,

we are same,

as an intern,

but differ treat,

what more irritate is,

i felt i m stupid,

they work on time,

leave on time,

while me n one of intern, always ot!

this few day,

i really felt imbalance,

i asked many why?

all those of why which dont have answer!

i understand unfair always happen,

i more realize and experience how cruel the world out here,

to make me feel better,

i always told myself,

thank to those people who make you life suffer,

they let us grow!

maybe i should thank them,

for being such difficult person to deal,

they make me realise a lot,

they make me have a great hard moment!

that i wont never forget how much lesson they have taught me!

sometime i dont understand myself,

why i always dig a hole and make my life difficult,

i have easier and better choice,

i dun have to go though all this suffer,

it make me flash back,

when i went all the trouble to study psychology,

it just like today,

i can choose work at government or go back my hometown to work,

but i choose work at the hectic and materialistic city,

decide to take challenges and bear the target they require!

but sometime,

bad moment doesnt mean everything bad,

i always said,

they are angel appeared when dark,

when i feel bad,

luckly i had good social support,

after i talked to some people

i feel better and more comfort,

after all i vent all my negative thought and unhappy,

this week one of happy things is i attended career fair at ucsi,

it was great experiences,

it was the most relax day since the day i worked,

i manage to know new friends,

and talk to some new faces,

coincident,

i met previous intern at my company,

we chat a while,

and i know a lot things from her,

as i said,

there always a window open follow by close door,

i feel gratitude for that!

after all the negative,

i should adjust my thought,

there no way for me to change workplace,

nor the people they,

i cant change the way they treat me,

just change my percepts much more possible n easier,

after all,

they are my life sifu,

teach me all the hardship and difficulty,

be positive,

is one of the way to support me walk thought the another month,

i had gone thought one month,

just only one more month,

let make it the better one...

remember,

i can choose,

i can choose to be positive

and

i can choose to be happy,

no one can control that,

only ME!

ganbatte.....

let make next week another leap!

3rd week of internship journey

this week,

thing progress to more better.

as many things have become routine,

and i have ready to harvest the seeds...

i did have higher improvement on send resume out,

i achieve my target,

then my supervisor increase my target to 10 by today.

that is target of permanent consultants,

it great challenge....

i did close sale this week,

but it end up,

the candidate resign after 2 day work,

i duno why i keep fail close sales for 2 time...

maybe late of luck.

i went to client visits last friday,

it was a suddenly news,

i know at last minute.

i dun feel want to go,

along the way was suck....

cause i with my colleague din said much,

it was like walked with stranger,

still,

the relationship with my colleague need more improve,

i still have much space in term of communication skills,

during sales meeting this week,

i volunteered to demo invite candidate to interview,

i done some mistake,

i still duno at workspace,

should we performed,

or just low profiled,

sometime, too high profile will cause harm,

that why i keep remind myself keep quiet and said my opinion when it need,

ya,

this week,

i recommend a potential recruitment consultant to hr,

she match all the requirement,

to work at our company,

there many round of interview to go,

start from hr interview,

then to manager,

lastly interview by the boss,

which usually take 2 hr.

sweat!!!

it tougher than got into harvard university.

at the end,

the talent end up hired by other.

in workplace,

we have many differ type of personalities colleagues,

differ type of people we face,

deal with differ type of leadership,

in my office,

i found 2 colleagues who like to act they are more superior than other,

the way they talk seem like boss,

always showed serious face,

keep correct other mistake,

at the end she just a colleague of us,

who simply want to boost how senior they are.

sometime,

i question whether the more senior a person

doesnt that mean that person more better at work?

but what i observed the more longer a person worked,

it doesnt show he/she more better or more perform...

maybe yes,

i still cant see it,

let observe how is it.

this week,

i have achieved my resume target,

next stage

is to achieve more sales,

good luck,

for this week,

hope more positive report on next week.

2nd week of intern journey

it leap to 2nd week,

time really rocket!!!

as day pass,

i more adapt with the new environments,

things getting easy as it turn routine,

when routine,

it mean it can control under my subconsciousness,

then it took less of my mental effort,

by the way,

this week turn to be more better,

some work have become routine,

like data entry,

update candidates details,

calling and invite interview,

job matching,

answer phone calls

and etc...

this week more improvement,

in term of numbers of key in data,

as i was more better and good in finding chance use computer,

i conduct more interview session,

ya this week,

i attended 2 special candidates,

one is a senior manager which from indian,

it was my mistake that i forgot we din help foreigner look for job,

i end up interview him but sorry i cant help him got job,

another candidates is 50+ yr old man,

i was so stupid that i called him for interview,

i forgot check the age,

it not age discrimination,

but realities is no company wan too old man for clerical job,

it so strange tat this person who 50 yr old

looking for clerical job,

he has knowledge of outside world,

he speak fluent english,

but when i asked him why he apply clerical job

he said after all this is the more easier job...

really???

i did suspect him,

whether he is spy from my company

who want to evaluate my performance,

or he is the recruitment auditor???

but he seem wear simple,

a child look watch,

carry a helmet with him,

i was confuse,

are he serious looking for job?

it end up i cant help him.

however,

time will let me noe,

which category he is~

then what the best things in this intern is

the platform for me to speak english,

i speak all the day,

surround by fluent speaker,

all of my colleague speak fluent english,

i guess i was the one with poor english,

however i can learn from them,

i still need learn communicate with them,

still, this week better relationship with them,

yet not reach my expectation....

this week i reach my daily resume out target,

i managed to give5 resume out on last fri,

with another good news i close sales,

but sadly,

the candidate din start work and cant be contact,

it make me happy at first and sad at the end,

my first sales end up unsuccessful,

when i think of my sales target,

i sweat and headache,

it need much efforts to reach at short time,

i was kind of worry and stress when think of it,

however,

what i can do is do my best.

lesson i learn this week is,

1)people tend to remember the mistake u make

but forget how much you can contribute,

2)the work life always fill with loneliness

3)i always remember what my boss told me,

u been here, because we think u value more that we pay.for sure, i received for quarter of the value i work.

4)is prove i m workaholic!i cant stop working even at home. all my mind is about work, work,WORK!!!.

5)alert at work, even a small insignificant action will cause you a lot trouble.

some lesson i learn from my colleagues,

when they make a mistake,

i try learn from they mistake,

before i did the same,

while the mistake i made,

i never let it happen again....

it was a good news that i will involve in career fair next week,

so happy i given a chance,

it was a great learning,

hopefully it din disappoint me,

sometime i in dilemma,

at certain moment,

i love what i done,

since i rarely feel tired when i work,

i din wishes the day end early,

but today,

i feel want go back asap,

since tomorrow was holiday.

that all for this week,

i hope coming week i can wrote something good and positive,

i got some interesting happening to write,

hope this week will be another great leap!

My internship week 1 journey

The day pass so fast....

here i m,

begin my internship journey.

it was my first week.

the first week,

i describe it as SUCK!!!

it was a tough week,

with intensive training and practice,

this week,

i have 3 training,

company intro, intern expectation, & about CHANGE need in work,

everyday was input in and practice,

CALLING, DATA ENTRY, MATCHING, SEARCHING

this is what i need do everyday.

I had 50 data entry target and sales target to achieve,

all was challenging and new,

with such a short time,

i need absorb like a sponge,

honestly,

the company can provide me a good platform to learn,

i like they way of work,

which emphasis on teamwork,

it can teach me a lot of attitude which i might need for future employment,

like do more, keep improving, comm skills, how to work efficiently etc...

what i like more is they activities,

they have alternate week exercise day....

next month we have PAINT BALL GAME.

Hooray....cant wait have fun....

It teach us by the time we work,

we still have fun.

but why i cant enjoy it???

instead it stress me out..

this questions i keep ask me all the time,

mb i still adapting,

mb i still not yet ready....

but what the main reason i nt enjoy is,

as each day pass,

it prove a lot of my assumptions of realities rite,

i hurt me that i prove how the world out there.

this need time to accept.

i learn a lot life lesson this few day,

the life out there is alone,

it proved i m rite,

there are no real friend at work,

only colleagues.

so far this theory still haven disapprove from my dictionary.

However,

there are more to learn,

more lessons coming in,

i had to mental prepare as well as physical.

i shall do adjustment in term of both as well,

since this week i need

adaptation+ change + adjustment

all was NEW,

NEW ENVIRONMENT in term of work n stay,

NEW FACES,

NEW TRANSITION.

hopefully new week will turn out to be better,

wait for new report,

wishes it was positive one!
