An one-mth joined NTU lady engineer last day yesterday and I was told that her new job is in oil-related big company. Maybe nowadays the freshies are aiming high and expect big, therefore small firm like us not easy to employ local graduate. There.. I discuss abt this with him..
What an encouraging dialogue from him…
james says:
Well dear remember
hang hang chu zhuang yuan
It does not matter where you are working
If you are good, you can still stand out in any field
not necessary in big company that give high pay
High pay but can you do it a not?
yiqi : my pc is alive !! says:
yeap. i believe in that too
therefore, i appreciate (my comp) somehow in their way to give me the chance groom myself in this industry lo
james says:
Well in a job there are 2 factors very import
Job satisfaction and value added qualities
Do you feel satisfied after completing a job?
Do you think you are value added to the company?
Is someone big up in the corporate ladder willing to groom you, do they trust you very much?
james says:
If let say your GM or director willing to groom you and put many tasks to let you do, it is because they know you can do the job
james says:
The trust is very important
With a boss trust, you can do things very smoothly
yiqi : my pc is alive !! says:
think that's the only advantage of myself in this company
james says:
But it the strongest advantage that one cant find in the other company le, dear
yiqi : my pc is alive !! says:
so i continue to stay even though long working hours, bad environment and some uncooperative colleagues
james says:
Even you in big company and performing well, you are just a performer smwhere below the corporate ladder, the one above you will get the credit
You may get a good pay but your effort is not directly being recognized
Even big company also suffer being sacked, all managers in big company also sacked
james says:
In big company, manager is just somehwere in the middle of corporate ladder
but you are different, maybe as RH or LH man to the GM
If you do anything wrong, your MD or GM will definitely protect you with all their power
You are protected by them and your career will one day move up but not down
It may be a short cut to success
james says:
So dear make use of this special and most powerful advantage to advance
you will make it great
yiqi : my pc is alive !! says:
so u think i should continue stay in this company?
james says:
ermm you shld evaluate it year after year
See how yr superior groom you to do more important things
Try to learn things that you do not know
When you start to learn management stuffs, then it the beginning of your corporate life
But do management is different
That why ppl always say if you remain an engineer, you will never get rich
That why many engineer taking MBA, a few years engineering experience is enough experience
