There are few reasons, mainly because I going Thai next month and the job was quite boring sometimes.
Nonetheless, I learnt a lot and meet nice people for the past 5 months!! After starting working, I regretted that I didn't take up part-time job earlier, like during year 1 or so. Then I will be able to save more $$.. Hais..
Alright, back to Faceofman! It is a facial treatment salon for man. There are few branches and I was working at the Orchard branch. It was my first job so I was super nervous during the interview back then! Hmm the one who interviewed me was Chris. He is super friendly, smart and casual man. He is the founder aka 'big boss' of the company. He always told me study is more important at my age but part-time job is another channel to learn things. During the interview, he told me I will learnt a lot from my job since this is my first job. Haha hence proven! I did. He is really nice like he will always encourage me and wished me when I told him I need to take off for exam.. (Errr they allowed me to take off for my exam etc without scolding! AWESOME RIGHT? HAHA)
Next! My manager Jerome!!! He is a good leader, a humorous and funny man & he LOVES to tease people!! I remembered he teased me on my first day of work!! However, he is very serious when it comes to work and customer services. Of course, he taught me what are customer services. :) He always talk to me during free time, give me useful advices, concern about my studies and yesterday he told me where are the fun places to visit in Thailand. Haha and he always ask me go eat! LOL! Because usually I'll have my lunch first before going to work and then have dinner after work. But he scared I starved myself during work so he keep asking me to go eat smtg!
Last but not least! My pretty colleague, Jayce! She is Malaysian too and she travelled between JB and SG everyday. Ahh how tiring! She is talkative, friendly, and nice!! She always share her stories with me like where she planning to go for vacation.. What movie she going to watch.. What are nice to eat..and so on! My work day would be super super boring without her!! She even bought me souvenirs after coming back from HK! And guess what, she helped me do free treatment during free time when there were no customers!! I was really sad yesterday because she didn't came to work! I couldn't say goodbye to her... :(
Ahh almost forget! There is one more colleague called Linda! She just transferred from Roxy branch to Orchard branch 2 weeks ago. So I wasn't close to her but she is super random! Haha! She always joke around and laugh freely! She was kinda shock when I told her ytd was my last day of work. She even asked when I will be back and asked me to take care.. aww~ how sweet!
SEE!! This is how lovely my work place was!! There were no politics, no fighting, no arguing, no back stabbing, no boot licking at all. I feel so upset that I didn't get a chance to take a group photo with them! T.T I will definitely go back to visit them after my Thai attachment!
On a side note, they all kept asking me to go for their 20th Anniversary Celebration Dinner but I was absent in the end as I was having my attachment on that day and I guess it will be kind of awkward at such occasion.. :P
Alright!! What I exactly learnt there was.. mainly customer services. I get to see A LOT of people with different attitudes! Some customers were nice, humble although they are rich, and always feel thankful. There was one customer who treated us chocolate on his birthday! And there was another customer who asked me what I currently studying and give me some advices on my future studies! Of course there were some bad ones. Luckily I didn't meet any but my colleagues! In terms of skills, they taught me basic face cleansing and how to apply & remove mask etc. Besides, I gained some extra knowledges about skin care. :)
OVERALL! IT WAS A GREAT AND AWESOME EXPERIENCE FOR ME!!! I am so blessed that I meet lovely colleagues and customers. I am so thankful that my first job was this unforgettable! Although it was just part-time, I will never forget my first pay of my life! I know earning money is not easy but now I know how HARD it is. Also I really cannot juggle between work and studies especially during exam period, thats why I took off to study. Must salute those who work part-time and study at the same time OR those who work and study part-time! It is really NOT EASYYY!!
ALL THE BEST TO THEM AND MYSELF!! Such a long post! Haha! BYE! ^^
