It's has been a while I didn't have the time to update my blog! Honestly, I'm spiritually and physically tired. Let's not talk about spiritual stuff... struggling to survive to become a good Christian but still it's tough to do so. Faith? Hmm.... only God will understand me.
There are many things that I need to learn since I'm working now, it's not just application of what I studied for 4 years in the Business school. Working is never been easy for me, a long journey for me to survive in this world. Besides earning, is this the right job till I get old? How long could I stand for this job? Again, what's the purpose of working? I doubt about my life in the working world. No idea why.. just feel confused.
I know I won't regret for getting this job, but not sure how long will it lasts. My company distributes seafood, organic food, dry frozen, frozen, snacks and beverages.. all related to healthy and natural food, which I'm quite interested in this field. Product knowledge is very important. Even though I've been working for 3 months plus, I hope I catch up fast of the new product knowledge. There not just one category or one focus but many. I feel the pressure now - 'Stress'
Not to mention, my Director hasn't give us the sales target. It's coming soon!
I hope I won't disappoint my director and boss, for giving us training and lesson. But still, it's not enough, because this food service business has just started recently and we do not have all the products shown in the catalogues or price lists. There are still many things we need to update and learn and we just can't compare with a colleague who has more experience than us. There are only three new Sales and Marketing for food service, I could say not enough man power. Whatever we do (either preparing sample/printing price lists/stock check/inventory control/brochures/presentation), we are still coping up with a few systems similar like the one in Singapore. But still, some styles, we can't apply in Malaysia.
Morever, when you have Singaporean colleagues, sad to say 'kiasuness' of them, expecting us to get more sales after the training. Indirectly hinting us. I know we are not playing a fool here, they thought we are not serious. Then why they hired us (young and inexperienced employees like me!)? I just don't know why they have to rush to get the final result. You know in Malaysia, everything is slow and easy.
How could they compare Singapore and Malaysia market/food industry? As well as the cultural here and Singapore. It's totally different culture! Although, their country has Malay, Chinese and Indian as well. But Malaysia is just a slow growing country. They don't understand and they can use Singapore as a comparison for Malaysian market. It's totally different system! My colleague who went with me to Singapore, feel the pressure too. I can't imagine, strong head girl like her she cried during a presentation test. I felt sorry for her too. Two of us like good friends depend on each other. Our main target is to get more sales than they thought so they won't look down on these two young and inexperienced ladies! We will show them!!!
I just hope that there are more sales coming in soon. If not, they can fire me! I won't regret though, but it's so obvious we need time to build this food service business. Not as fast as you think in Singapore!
