I have always wondered where I will began my career. Little did I know that it will start in a bank. My job interviews have always been a pleasant one except for one which was when I was applying to work part time in Kumon. (The lady doesn't one to take me in because she says college students can't be trusted) Anyway that was my very first few interviews back in 2008 and I have to say I am glad she didn't agree because lo and behold it made me look elsewhere further from home and yes I began my job search down the commerce line.

Ever since that one or two bad experience (all nearby my place I wanted to take life easy and teach tuition nearby. Not qualified? Not wanted?) at first it did made me take a step back afraid of going out to search but I will always remember the words of my mum and sis that there is always something out there and you only meet these people ones so just give it a try. Nothing to lose. Yups so thats how I ended up with my first so called job in a recruitment agency Adecco. (Not including where I work in a law firm during my secondary school break for 2 months plus)

I remember going for the interview in Wisma MCA. Sister brought me there and well it was quite casual although I was a little nervous but well didn't seem much of an interview more like a get to know session. A few test and thats about it. First task was an interviewer for Bain and Company. Remember the 3 days walking around KLIA talking to people that looks like business people. Approaching them was quite a daunting task but well an experience indeed.

After that I continued on employed by Adecco as a Junior Consultant. In that short stint I volunteered to get out of the office and replaced part time candidates that can't make it for work (Idea was to move around and see new things and of course higher pay why not?) Well, the plan was to be placed in a company but well answer from JP Morgan as the personal assistant of the managing director didn't come back so well continued on.

Saw a job posting in Mid Valley sounds good so called but well job wasn't what I wanted (market research phone interview) but well they called back later and offered a human resource assistant position. Sounded much more interesting. Accepted it and then the news came that I was accepted in the JP Morgan job but well keeping to my word was what I had to do so Mid Valley was the place I spend the next 2 months.

In 2009, the 4 months break brought me to my very first exposure to a related field to my studies. Gave me a total nightmare. Simply because I hate closing accounts and the company accounts was in shambles nothing in order and things were not to be found. What do you expect from a small construction company where the boss has no accounts or financial knowledge? Yes it did widen my horizons met up with external auditors and understood the construction business a little more as the boss was eager to share all about the business.

Now when I finished my advanced diploma this year, I wanted exposure that counts something that will be a stepping stone to both my studies and my career. Of course I hat to take into account that I will be preparing for my CIMA exams and I needed time to study and also attend weekend classes but having a little pocket money sounds rather tempting just the same.

Never could I imagine that that little move in the beginning of the year would lead to where I am now. Accepted the job not knowing much about the task but well it was a good opportunity to work in bank and led alone somewhere so closed to the LRT station and from just an intern it is now my permanent position.

Frankly, the job on its own is rather tedious and boring so to say. Not much of a reader especially when it comes to Acts and regulations and codes but somehow or another I guess everything is placed in such a ways for a purpose. The people I come across in life. The little twist and turns in life that doesn't make sense when you are in it but when you are out of it a clearer picture is shown.

I really don't know how long I will stay working in a bank (Man, I never imagined working in a bank. Always thought I will end up in some manufacturing company or retail or accounting firm) what more in the department I currently am but one thing I know it's God given.

What more can I ask for. Everything seems to fall into place. A job that landed on a plate served right in front of me. Everything (in like nearly everything) is taken care off. Don't even need to fight for increase of my starting pay or my working hours or for that matter excuse for gym. Shouldn't be complaining. Indeed I am learning much from my current position but the thought of the grass is always greener on the other side is just so tempting. Maybe thats why sometimes when you worked really hard for it you appreciate it more and things that come your way you tend to be less appreciative and when its gone then regrets sets in.

In a way the location is alright. People in the office are all older than me (of course I knew most of them while I was doing my internship there), a CF to go to and the workload is not too bad. Even the security guards and cleaners are so warm and nice. Everything that I want I have it in the office if only the tasks has a little more twist to it and less requirement to read the guidelines. Ah.... I am indeed grateful for the job. The BUTs has got to stop and soon when HE unfolds the bigger picture I am sure it will all be clear.

I should be more grateful. More appreciative. More thankful (Don't get me wrong, everything is perfect in my workplace except the loads of reading which I don't pretty much enjoy)
