oh how those days were.. I was just clearing my inbox when i saw my "SIP (Student Internship Programme)" folder which housed all my emails between my Officer/Lecturer and myself. I read my e-journals (which we were required to submit every 3 weeks) and my goodness, it brought back so many memories. I had a good time at the department mainly because i had such wonderful colleagues who spurred me on and joke with me despite how stressed out they can get. I've been really blessed to have met so many good people and be surrounded by all the joy. My 11-week stint at the department was an enjoyable and rewarding experience i never want to forget. It's something i want to tell my parents and future kids (InsyaAllah) over and over. Especially since it was my first job (yes, really)! I've not only managed to meet such nice colleagues within the department, but also within the bank itself where we had to liaise with officers from different departments AND some customers i had to call. The few customers that i called really managed to put a smile on my face after i hang up on them. Once, there was an American customer so in order to make an overseas call, i had to stay back a little late to get through to him. He was such a nice and polite guy! The next was a woman from Myanmar who had a very deep accent; i felt bad for asking her to repeat but she was so nice and patient! And the other one that i remember vividly was a local guy who REALLY REALLY made me happy. The minute i introduced myself, where i came from and what the call was about, he exclaimed,"Ms Nadiah right? I'm so thankful that you called! I needed to amend something but i didn't know how to get through! It's such a good thing that you called! Thank you, thank you so much!" It really put a huggeeee grin on my face, knowing that someone actually appreciates what i'm doing. People in general find it difficult to sing praises of someone else so it totally brightened up my experience there. While working at my latest job, i only had approximately 3-4 customers who actually thanked me like that (or via email)? And for that job, i had to make calls every single day to almost every single customer. So.. you can see the disproportion yourself (: Reading my e-journals tonight and reminiscing the internship days really put a smile on my face. It was a tough start but it gradually got so much better and i got more comfortable that i felt like 11 weeks was JUST too short. Well, that's about it tonight. Just reminiscing the experience i had during internship. I hope my working experience will be just as good (if not better) once i really find a career upon graduation, InsyaAllah. I hope my loved ones will get to have the same experience too. I personally feel that working in such an environment can help reduce the burden a little. |
