Trying to get a job for the past few days has sort of open my eyes to a whole new world I never knew existed. Scouting and hunting for jobs has also allowed me to gain many insights to the jobs available in the market and many…well companies I never knew existed before in a building that I normally frequent. Like for instance, do you know that on level 10 of takashimaya has the Burberry company and an Autodesk company? Obviously I was more interested in the fact that Burberry was there. Simply standing outside the company is already so exciting. I wonder what is it like inside..anyway, if I ever enter that place, I will probably start a brand new “Ugly Betty” series of my own. Haha, surprisingly NOT everyone was dressed very glamorously there. Perhaps that is the difference between American companies and their dotted line companies.
I was heading down to Recruit Express to sign my contract with a company and as I was looking at everyone in the overcrowded train, it suddenly struck me as to wonder what kind of jobs do each of them own? Do they like the job? Do they know what kind of challenge lies ahead of them each day as they enter the office? Or are their jobs mundane and dull, like y’know toilet cleaners where the only challenge I see is what lies in the toilet bowl they are about to clean. EeKs!
And then I wonder, what kind of job would I want next time? I have thought of a few, but I am not exactly affirmative that they are the right jobs for me. If I have the privilege to choose my dream job, I would like a job that is
- challenging (as in there are assignments in terms of projects or organising events),
- interactive (I need to socialise. No way can I have a job that just sits behind the desk doing paperwork. Its fun to do secretary work la but not for a living please.)
- good pay (need I add this? Even idiots expect that)
- good working environment (I think this one is really up to your character and attitude as well…oh and luck)
Basically, hard work and long working hours do not exactly frightens me, in fact I prefer hard work then slack jobs. Yes, I know I am queer but I like to have that ‘queer’ sense of accomplishment when I produce a satisfactory job that was so difficult to complete. So anyway, I was thinking along the lines of public relations and mass comm. or teaching (hmmm 50 50) or speech therapy (surprisingly this option is on third priority cos the pay factor..erm..heh heh ;) )
Somehow the public relation is most enticing. Especially if I can work in a hotel. Perhaps because I can mix with big shots? Learn more? Haha. I DON’T KNOW! Haha. . we will see...we shall see..10 years from now, where will I be...
