So
I have, since the day I was back in Malaysia, spent approximately 8 months at
home, jobless. Emphasise on jobless. Jobless in the context of not having a
career or a profession suiting to my chosen course which I graduated with a few
weeks prior to getting home: chemical engineering. Looking on the bright side, I can always
find any house chores to do to get out of boredom and kill time; from helping my mom in the kitchen to sweeping the floor to doing the dishes. Ringan
tangan much? Hehe.
To say that I am inefficient at finding and applying jobs is a perfectly fair statement. I think I can count the number of jobs I have applied for so far amongst which include Petronas, Dialog and ExxonMobil. Big OnG companies, are they not? However, there exist a few problems which has led to this lack of job-hunting and me not able to secure an interview. Well, the problem which I found most intimidating is me. Me doubting myself, doubting my capability of becoming a good engineer which is most likely what those companies are yearning for.Heck Even good is under the par.
They are looking for excellent people with excellent mentality and what else.
Even spectacular would fit.
Still, if I were to be a fairly good engineer, I don’t really have the passion to work as one. And there goes all the years of preparing for and studying the course. Please don’t misapprehend. I wanted to become an engineer. I have said this to my sister so many times and in that may times has she suggested that I have to at least try to be an engineer, know what it’s like and then only time will tell whether or not I have the passion. But naah, I don’t know. I don’t really fancy the idea of working for someone who will have a complete control over you. You do your job as per signed in the agreement and you get paid a certain amount of money which I think is inequivalent to your real self-worth. I honestly don’t fancy that.
So when these developed, I did less job-searching and hence less job applications and consequently why I have not been able to secure an interview until today. It occurred to me that I cannot not do nothing. I need to start having at least a steady amount of money flowing into my bank account that has been declining (and approaching to a number I fear most), what’s with GST and you-know-what coming very soon.
I was presented with the opportunity to know more about CIMB Wealth Advisor when my sister (yes, she’s an agency supervisor in CWA) brought me to this awesome GBOP, a short form for Grand Business Opportunity Presentation a few months back. It was in September, if I am not mistaken. But I didn’t straight away sign up to be an agent for I had thought I might be able to secure some interviews from which I will get a call saying ‘Congrats, you’re our new precious employee’. Heh, what a thought. I attended a second GBOP in December and signed up to be an agent a few weeks after. And Alhamdulillah, I am now officially a consultant in Unit Trust with CWA.
I would say that I am hyped. I am hyped with the fact that I am now a business runner. I am hyped with the fact that in CWA, you’re working for yourself, thus you are reaping every ounces of benefit you get from the work you have done. Not others. Not your supervisors or managers. Essentially, you get paid according to your effort. I am hyped that I have got the opportunity to help people grow their assets and add value into people’s lives. I am literally hyped about everything.
So, was it fated for me to become a UTC? I would say I will have to let time decide everything. As of now, I am going to put every effort into this one job and see where does it lead me to. Wish me luck.
