19-28/12/2008 - Job

The very next day after my last paper Pengajian Malaysia, I went to Sunway Pyramid and secured myself a job. After quite a walk I decided to apply for the 'Attendant' position in Sunway Mega Lanes. In fact, it actually stated there: "Part Time Attendant (preferably Chinese speaking)" So I thought I just walk in and ask. The pay was ok only... not that I expected much since I am not like marketing anything or what... The supervisor told me that they need someone to work for ten days from the 19th because there will be a tournament going on and people from the Far East will be coming to play too... so they want people who can speaking Mandarin to cater for this group of people...

Maybe I am the only one misinterpret words here but, look at this: "Part-time" doesn't mean temporary, isn't it? Part-time is like you are doing for only a few hours compared to the other full-timers, isn't it? In this case since I am working for ten days only, it should be temporary, not part-time attendant... isn't it?

Never mind, it's just a vacancy notice that's all, no big deal.

Again, the simple-minded me thought that an attendant's job is to attend to the spectators needs such as on standby for any queries or what... I didn't know that the supervisor was going to put me as a waiter... hmm... got a bit shocked at first, but then I thought... aih, just for ten days only ma... furthermore I have never tried my hands on waitering before, and since so many restaurants turned me down, why not grab this opportunity to do some waitering, even for just ten days?

Ten days is definitely not enough to improve my own skills, such as communicating skills, people skills, etc... it's more like only through this short-term thing I realized that I am so terrible in these areas... and by the time I wanted to improve in these areas, I have to leave my job already, and I have no chance to work on it anymore... =(

Well, tomorrow Sunday will be my last day of work, hopefully will be able to move on to another job before school reopens on the 12th. Just called up Demopower to see if there's any promoting projects for me... have not been able to do it... even though I went for interview long long time ago. Monday will be going to Genting with family... hopefully everyone will be enjoying themselves hard on that day because I doubt with my brother starting pre-u soon we can get another family gathering like this in the near future...
