WONDERFUL YEAR TO YOU ALL..
Here in Russ consulting it is all good eventhough there will always be hassles and restraints that will make you feel like the job is boring but at the end of the day I am able to cope with it. At first I did not want to work in Malaysia because I see the culture here to be 100 percent opposite of my culture and beliefs but my first day at work was all good that I could see that yeah maybe I will adjust easily. Although there are a lot of differences on how we do things and how we conduct ourselves at the end of the day it is just a matter of acknowledging that we are all different. In our office is a mixture of quite a few races as we have the Chinese, Malays, Indians and obviously me a representative of Africa as I am from Botswana and this is what makes our office a little bit diverse especially with the clients and partners who are from other parts like Europe, Australia and even some other countries in Asia which gives the company a distinctive feel of an intercultural diverse ground.
Our first week at week seemed to be a little bit relaxing and I did not have that much of work to do because my boss who is my supervisor Rasila Hamzah went to Thailand so she came back on Friday. In her absence she instructed one of the colleagues Shada to take care of us and see us through the office and staff and trust me they were very friendly and welcoming. I felt at home though because the next day it was as if I have been there quite a while. My first assignment at work was to find the numbers and emails. I was like how am I going to do it I hate talking to the phone because I had to request for the editor’s direct line and email address, so that was the work that I had to do for a week for 30 publishing companies in Malaysia, but at the end of the week I was done and handed it to my boss as the first completed assignment on time.
On the following week I had to do a research on corporate social responsibility and sustainability reporting and also branding, where I had to go through one of the biggest branding companies in the world, which is the Brash Brands in Dubai, and one of the leading brands in the world which has designed very prestigious brands for a lot of companies around the world.
The next assignment that I had to do was to go through the Bursa Malaysia registered companies whereby I was also calling again to look for the managing director, chief financial officer, head of investor relations and the secretary’s contacts so as to confront them and make an appointment for Graham Owens from Singapore who is a successful candidate on the basis of teaching both employers and employees about sustainability reporting and corporate social responsibility.
The next week I had to make a preparation for an event in Esso filling station which was the prize giving ceremony. I had to go through an audit to come up with the best prizes for the hiring of some of the equipments that were going to be used in which were the canopies, and even some chairs and tables and successfully that was possible and on Monday it was a wonderful experience where I went to the event, taking pictures around that we were coming to compile in the company.
Keep in touch for the next post, because they are just summaries of the work that i have been doing because this is my last week at work..THANK YOU AS YOU COMMENT
