Today marked my 5 years with the company I’ve been working since after my graduation day. And not to mention, my first job too! Goshhhh…amazing how the time flies. I didn’t realize I’ve been loyal with this company eversince while some of my colleagues have moved out to find a better job with a better pay.
I started as a Mechandising Clerk with a salary not even close to RM700 a month. Without any hesitation, I took the offer since I know that I have no workking experience at that time eventhough I’m a Degree holder. Starting as zero in the retail industry, I work very hard to understand almost everything about what the Retail Business is all about especially the Merchandising Department (Supermarket, Hardline & Softline ). I was confirmed as a Merchandise Assistant after 5 months and as a Buyer for Gent’s Department a year later. Basically, my job is to meet up with suppliers to discuss and to look into their new products besides daily monitoring of the sales and inventory for our 17 outlets throughout Sabah.
In 2007, I was promoted to Executive level for the Softline Department up till today. Shhhh…but I’m looking for another job. Five years is enough for me. I need to move out and learn something new or else I’ll stuck in one place forever…lol…I need a new environment (not saying that my working environment now is not good…it is far than good with all the nice colleagues and bosses around…less stress) …new challenges … better salary pay …hehehe!
Well, HAPPY 5 YEARS ANNIVERSARY to ME, MYSELF and I … and would like to wish my colleague Andrey @ DD a.k.a my Jipss a Happy Birthday!
Note : It is always better to move out when there is little or no scope for career growth.
