after days of searching job agencies online, and looking through newspaper ads..
i finally got a job again!
it's at a call centre, so i'm sort of doing telemarketing. thank God i'm not doing sales over the phone. trying to convince customers for something seems fruitless, i only managed to convince two today! i'm targetting to convince at least 5 customers tomorrow! 2 is pathetic :[ but okay lah, since it was my first day!
and on my first day of work, i had talked to nice people, irritated people, those high positions/ ranking in the company people (can tell leh!) and of course, talked to people of another race. but the challenging thing is that, some people don't know how to speak english. being a pilipino, we have the advantage of being able to learn other languages and be able to pick it up quite easily )yes, no?) and today, i tried to speak, chinese, in my very best! i soort of learnt chinese by picking up words in drama series on tv, but don't really speak it out. and when the customers talked to me, i could understand that they were saying they dont quite understand me! oh, someone please teach me chinese!
and i had one rather cute conversation before i knocked off for the day. i was calling this korean household, and the mother don't know english so the young son picks up and translates what i say to his mom. towatds the end of the conversation, i was asking him what typ of Fin type his mum is, if it i under Q1, Q2, P1, P2..
.hahaha! although it's a little dumb, but he made me wanna laugh out loud when he said that! hr sounds like a cute innocent korean boys i see on tvs! listening to him talk to his mum in korean makes me wanna watch princess hours again, haha!
but then, although admin work and call centre jobs pays more than in f&b, i'd still prefer to work in f&b places. it's definetely better to walk around and take orders rather than sit down in a room with yout legs stiff from sitting down.
reminds me of my earle's swensens days :]
