what i have been ....
was just thinking through the different jobs i've done and how i have grown with them...
- sales promoter - dishwashing detergent and i didn't even know what it was called in mandarin! :(
- tutor - the kids were either too sleepy to listen or too hyper to stay in place *sigh*
- liquor promoter - good money during 7th month cos got big angpows on top of salary :)
- bank teller - told a lie to get this job just to work in bank...didn't tell them we were students on year end school holidays.
- cashier - busy busy busy but learnt to be really really careful and stay focussed on whoever i'm serving.
- ticket seller / crowd "director" - just love this job...good pay with tpt and meals provided plus get to meet all sorts of ppl.
- customs clerk - first permanent job
- despatch clerk - stock updates, order processing, etc, etc, anything to do with deliveries
- admin clerk - reports, reports and reports...the dept i was in made this job really fun. the only female in an all male environment...prob seen all sorts and got immune to their behaviours, esp when out of singapore away from families!
- customer service asst - more reports
- customer service exec - even more reports and ppl management
- cleaner - tough job...really admire the cleaners. how can they do so much in so little time!
- teacher asst - helping out at a child care centre and just luurve those kids...miss them.
- course facilitator - most satisfying to see the participants' achievement at the end of the course knowing that i have made a difference. every session is a learning experience for me though the programme may be the same because every child is different.
- f & b service crew - that's what i'm doing now for 2 weeks already and still enjoying every minute of it. tiring at first but getting used to it. teamwork is of great importance and following the process just get things going and with a system, anyone can go to any outlet and get the job done.
that is a wide range considering that i've only worked full time in one company moving from customs clerk to customer service executive. the rest are "as and when" jobs. makes life really interesting. i'm almost there with my list of "what i want to experience". left with 2 or 3 more to check out. hmmm....not too bad for this lifetime.
what's outstanding:
- tourism
- books
- dance
one more of great priority -
grandmother... haha. maybe shouldn't rush this otherwise no time to work on the rest.
with all of the above, there is only one constant passion - the opportunity to share my handicrafts with many. it's been 15 years now and this will be forever till i'm not able.
life's been tough but it has been really good. nothing beats loving what you are doing.
