The Next Big Step

2014 - An amazingly significant year for me for the many many reasons below.

• Moved out of my second home, Newcastle.
• Leaving behind the student status I have held for the past 16 years - I'm definitely going to miss all that discount perks!! 
• Getting to spend all kinds of events in Malaysia with the family, which I have missed out on the past 5 years (New Year Eve, Chinese New Year, family birthdays, etc)
• Out into the working world, setting out to really build my career and future

So yeah, a fresh new start it is!!!!!

Since I got back to Malaysia last month, I have been job-hunting while helping out as a trainee at my dad's place. So grateful to have the opportunity to do that. To gain some working experience instead of waiting around for invitations for interviews. 

So far, I've helped edited the business ethics code, proofread various marketing and internal material, drafted the Corporate Social Responsibility statement and two strategic proposals related to CSR and prepared rudimentary introductions of marketing concepts and tools. Learning so much everyday and slowly found my area of interest - CSR. Thus, I am extremely thankful for my dad and supervisor for providing me the opportunities in this field, to allow me to realise that my previous academic interest during my masters can actually be the focus of my career now.

Already had some job interviews, waiting for the rest while on the look out for more potential target employers at the moment.

Wish me luck!!
