Today with me.
I am at work at the moment. And because I sorta ran out of blogs to read, I decided to write on my own blog today. Oh Great. Now what do I blog about?
My days at work here in Dell are coming to an end soon. My last day being the 30th of April.
Sadly, Ive taken more than 12 days of MCs here and at least 5 days of annual leave now.
I am about to be blacklisted. I am not exactly sure about that yet, but I probably would?
Hehe. I've always heard, and read of all those talk about people being a professional slacker. I personally think that the title would suit me best.
Maybe the truth is that everyone has a built in slacking system in them.
We are slackers waiting to happen?
Despite my loyal blog readership. I haven't gotten any better at blogging. To think of the amount of blogs I used to have. Tabulas. Friendster. Wordpress. MSN space.
Since I'm already here, lets talk about my work and workplace.
So lets start from the beginning.
Even before I kissed SPM goodbye for good.(I believe it was roughly around the time before the Bio paper) I was already a member at Jobstreet.com
Obviously, what else would I be looking for? A job lah.
For all post spm-ers alike McD did seem like a very valid, and available choice, but for that I'll need to attend walk-in-interviews and since spm is just not over yet, (not for me anyway, thanks to Seni and Bible Knowledge) I couldn't go for those interviews just yet.
Oh yeah, there were also alot of temporary jobs at the mall. Retails mostly. Clothing, shoes, eye care. Well you name it.
That didn't entice me as well.
Overall, online through Jobstreet, I applied for: -
1. Teaching assistant at Kumon - I got shortlisted for the job but I really didn't want it.
2. Book/Music Sellers in Borders - I really wanted the job. But I had no response.
and then directly, I applied for:-
1. Shop assistant at Switch - got a reply but they told me they'd call only when they need more staff.
2. Kindergarten Teacher in MRC Junior - Got the job. Lasted only a week. (Hoho =)
Earned rm150++ spent it all in a meal at Chillis. = P
After that I got a call from Jobstreet when I was at the Starbucks in Borders. - for a banking opportunity.
But apparently, after finding out that I haven't gotten my SPM cert just yet, I only have my trial results, I wouldn't be able to qualify for a job at OCBC - min requirement SPM cert.
But after speaking to me over the phone. The manager over at Jobstreet felt like I was good enough for a job at Dell.
So she said "I will have my staff to call you about Dell"
The following day, when I was at Starbucks at Egate. I got a call from Dell.
Woohoo. My training would commence on Monday. It all happened so fast, I had only just quited my job in the kindy.
Went to sign for a 1 month contract with Dell in Jobstreet.
Only then did I know about contract workers and how it works.
Gee. Its been such a long post. Not such a bright practice when it comes to blogging.
Why? Because people will get tired of reading. Neways. Toodles.
I will post my days there, in another post.
Post Signature : If you wanted to know why I was always in Starbucks during the near end of the year last year, it was because I didn't have internet at home yet. And because of I was drinking at Starbucks like theres no tomorrow because I wanted to have this :
Will post up the picture here soon.
