Moving to new roles



Greetings
Haven't write for so long
Talking has been what I do daily, I meant, work-wise
So yeah - writing hasn't done its justice to me :P

Anyway
4th month of the year
I am now assigned to new roles within the department
Hearing that I at first supposed to get one new role
but now its two
and both are with different systems
whilst - I need to handover my current role
which involved one whole different system

Well
Learning has been good
I supposed
seniors at my place told me that shows people trust me to such responsibilities
should take it that way

I spoke to my new superiors
Truth is, transition time given was pretty short for me
Thank God they understand that it tbh is tough to grab all at once
I know I can do it!

I tire myself out (which I admit :P)
Some voices their worries that I work too hard
Moving on from above paragraphs
I truly admit
I experience stress
which I am now trying to learn how to manage and control it

Rather
I realized it pretty late
not until I get insomnia (sometimes) and bad headache (most times)
for overthinking and too tired

For then
I heard that people told me that I dont act myself
I am now become more quiet
and of course look stress

lmao
my stories are basically to tell me that
I should enjoy what I do

Well apparently I do enjoy it
just, too many works
and now I should learn how to manage 
to do BETTER

Also
I think I forget to think about something
whilst worrying about things that I wrote

MYSELF

New Year Resolutions (?)


I will start with how I still find myself at ease when I listen to her speech
A 4 years old girl made her way to my heart
Thanks little girl

Moving on to new year resolutions
as what this cute little girl said
we should go easy to ourselves
which I actually forget to think of that point
(or more on a point that I don't even realize that I am a year older >_<)

I have to tell this that my job now has so many expectations
and I think I worked myself too much
to one point that I find myself as workaholic

The surroundings and culture don't shine myself much
though I enjoyed meeting so many great people
To one point, I squeezed myself to learn and grab everything
which of course part of the things that I should pursue as a beginner

As I have so many on my plate
People will of course suggest that I do a to-do-list
which I did
and it never fully fulfilled
because of so many ad hoc things that I have to 'suddenly' do
which sometimes I don't mind
and sometimes I did

I don't deny that I learnt so many things
at a point, what I hate is me forgetting about myself
to enjoy my life more
and be happy with what I do
also - be grateful

Guess
I will just sit again and re-organize my head
and find who I really am
and chase for dreams that I have
that
would be good as of now


Happy Growing Up everyone!

Do and Don't for Interviews


Greetings
I just want to share some thoughts about the topic
What I shared might not be a good point 
by well, it might be good for others
so...


DO

1. Be sure to be early for your interview. Oh come on. I don't think I need to elaborate this ><

2. If there are forms provided or things requested by the company, do bring them.

3. If you want to ask vacancy at the company, please introduce yourself and what kind of position that you are keen to apply. It will help HR to let you know about their vacancy. But I tell you, this might not work to all recruiters. However, its never wrong to have some manners when you want to ask for their help right?

4. It will be best if you can state what you want, rather than pointing out anything that came to your head during the interview. Coming to interview means, you know you are showing your interest to the job offered. I have seen so many fresh graduates coming without knowing what they want to do. I should elaborate this to other entry but hey - show what you can do. You only have at least one hour to impress the hiring manager..so why not SHINE yourself? :3 

5. Learn to listen to what the hiring managers are offering you. Sometimes, I understand that there are too excited to speak, but at some point, you will need to listen and understand what they want you to know about said position. Now, some will say "you want me to listen, at the same time speak. Which should I do?" 
Well, speak when needed. Listen when needed. 
You have the situation under your control. But you need to understand that you need to respect the one who interviewed you.

6. PLEASE , show good attitude. If you are fresh graduates, there is nothing much to show but your attitude. But I don't say that "seniors" can do anything. Manners - should come from all levels. I hope that people can learn to remember that.



DON'T

1. If you are late - kindly inform the company about it. If its reasonable reason, am sure they will understand it. But if you are late and so many excuses coming - sorry; can't help you. Worst - if you don't apologize. Its a major turn off.

2. Giving so many excuses will make hiring manager to have bad impression. It simply shows that you are not interested to the position offered, and you are just trying your luck coming to the interview. Understand that one can have so many opportunity to look for better job - but if you are not interested, just mention that you have no interest for the job.

3. Don't ignore their calls and email. If you are not interested to their offer, simply explain yourself and reason why you are rejecting them. It is better rather than ignoring their calls and emails. Do remember that you might want to apply to their company in the future. Hence, do keep a good reputation with them. 

4. PLEASE...don't answer a word to a question. Good lord that ain't helping. We only have at least one hour (or less/more) to interview a candidate. If you don't speak - nobody will help you. Interview is not the time to show how less you can speak - its to show what you want them to know who you are. You know yourself better than other people , so -


*******

What I shared are not tips. Please don't be too rigid with it.
These are simply my thoughts and I hope that more youngsters are able to show a better attitude towards another phase of their life. 

I shall continue this when I have new point in my head.
Till then.
