It was a day off when I decided to try job hunt in chinese forum..
It is a college situated in City looking for staff in accounting position..
I made the call...while this guy said he already got someone as the someone offer to work for free..
"What if I work for free as well?" " send me your resume then.."
This is how realistic the world is...
The day after, I went for the interview and it is a small college in an old building..
with all the chinese admin staffs and informally working environment..
I was thinking..this is not what I want..
Should I go for it? I was worry..I have been imagining..
I have been convincing myself.....
Yes, I will go for it.....I will never know if I gave up even before I tried...and they actually pay me,although very little, it is ok....I will get something out of it in return.....I keep convincing myself...
I wake up at 7am while the bed are so warm and cosy..
I catch the 7:45am buses with any other OL..
The traffic is super heavy at that time..
I can see the sunshine just hidden behind Harbour Bridge..
I can see people with Ipod and reading..
I can't help peeping the gorgeous high heels wore by a pretty OL...
I saw the high school boy keep dozing and knocking his head against the glass..
I saw a cool BMW driven by a professional-looked lady just beside my bus...
Everything are so lively and lovely..I feel good...and there I go..
The begin of my day!! I am gonna be fine and I will go through this!
Work are not hard once I get familiar with it..
My primary duties are sending overdue letters to students..
Can you believe that...out of 600 students..I sent almost 300 letters........
While with all these 600 students...I check the fee balance ONE BY ONE..
The job is not hard...just because it is small and they don't have a good system..
The job becomes very redundant....And my eye has gone through a really hard time...
Then,I need to meet students as they always have 100 reasons not to pay the tuition fee even the term has started....
After that, agents are like Vampire...They can claimed commission up to 40% of what the student paid..
I need to double check whether they claimed the right amount always...
I am busy...but I get boring as doing the same stuffs all the time.....I need to face the computers from 8.30am-5.30pm per day with lunch break in between....
As my colleagues are chinese and we communicate in chinese most of the time...This is what I didn't expect....
I need a goal to be achieved...where I can't find any....I need motivation...
I am still looking for it in this job.....................................................................
Colleagues are very nice....they are straight forward people who at first I can't really accept it..
But actually this is how transparent they are....They are good people who didn't stop asking whether to get me lunch box even they knew I have been bringing my own lunch box everyday....
They are good people who said sorry for not being able to help when they saw me struggling with the missing amount in the bank statement.....
I am building up my social net as well...isn't it?
After all...we are all from the same background who works hard for a better life~~~
Even I have determined to do well,I was so easily affected by many factors...I am still not sure whether to stay in this job......
I have to stop thinking the bad factors and believe that I am lucky enough to get this job..
My emotion has to be stable to keep me determined...
I have no idea what others working environment like...Maybe this is the real world where people don't get what they expected always...I didn't know the real world..I was a naive little girl..
Do I know it now? I doubt.....
I am lucky enough...at least I am on my way now...
At least I am not alone.....
I am still working in the cafe...
It is where I built my confidence..
It is where I am trusted and given responsibility...
It is where I improved my communication..
It is where I grew up during the past 2 years...
Ya,I have been working 7 days a week for a month now...
My days are full..My weeks are full......
I eat proper meal everyday...Babe always make sure I have enough fruit and vegetable..I have to make sure I am healthy.....
I am fine and actually I have been used to wake up at 7am even the alarm is off....
I do my shopping during shopping night....
I do my reading on the buses....
It is not gonna last long, I know...This is just a short period..I will get over it..
And till that time....my effort is going to pay off...
Thanks for the support from my dearest family and my understanding friends.....
from my babe..sorry for being acting dramatically always..
I wasn't sure all the time....I keep changing all the time..
It is because I feel very unsecured of my choice... I need advice and support all the time..
I am greedy..yes...so I need unlimited supply of mentally support..anywhere anytime...
as long as it is from you all!!! I need motivation! of coz..I will try to complain less.....
Can't wait for the one week off to Melburne after all the hard work...
Thanks aik and wen coming for that...We really need a superb excuse for a break...Looking forward...
