PSA Port Tour

Finally back to my small little cosy room.

So tired and feeling a little dizzy after a long bus ride from PSA building back to hall on bus no. 10... Approx 1 hour.... Duhz...

The port tour was rather interesting. Hmm.... it's like going for an excursion. Haha. The aim is to let the applicants have a better understanding of the environment and job scope that they are applying for. Had a really fun time looking at those huge containers and the lifts operating.

Oh! Not forgetting to mention about this fren of mine whom I get to know her during the port tour. She's also from NTU and majoring in Chemical and biological Engineering. She's smart and friendly too. And she knows you (ZiHui)!!!! Haha... My greatest achievement of the day!

OK, back to the port tour.
I was very pleased and more interested in this job i'm applying for after the port tour. Oops! did i mention wat i'm applying for? It's Operations Executive (OE). Rather unique position which other companies seldom have. I love the dynamic job nature. That is, it's full of unexpected ventures everyday. OEs manage and organise the port operations, mainly leadership roles. They have to deal with many different levels of ppl, ranging from crane operators to the upper management team. They will also deal with sudden changes and accidents. Alot of decisions making and planning are made by them. I'm juz for this kinda job as i hated routine jobs and fixed office hours... Soooo Boring!!! But one thing bad about this job. OEs have to do 12hours shifts. Both day and night.... Looks like i have to learn and get used to not sleeping at night if i get the job. :(

Now, I'll have to wait for them to shortlist ppl down for the prelim interview. Hopefully i can be shortlisted and make my way through the 2nd (Final) interview too. Wish me LUCK!

Since when are jobs interesting? You'll needa get used to the beuracratic nature of working under the company. Working hours count little, it is the thing you do in it. Tink you should go for something you like, sounds like you like it anw. haha. bleh. - kenneth.
