Attachment week1
Saturday, September 18, 2010
When you work monday-friday, 9am-5pm each day, you really start to understand why people always go "TGIF" lol
So the first week of attachment is over. Rather uneventful, i must say. I expected a lot more LOL
Monday: Company orientation+telemarketing training, lunch, instruction from advisor, 3hours to rot and read a few pieces of paper. Well i did gain some new knowledge, like CPF changes LOL Started scribbling ideas about the cafe on my notebook cause i was so bored. lol Was supposed to meet Mantou for dinner, but my mum already cooked so i went home for dinner lo. Dressed formally for the first day, so i was in heels LOL By the end of the day, i was so tired and weak i cabbed home after i reached AMK. Taking each step required a lot of effort. Don't get how girls can struct around in those evil things the whole day oO My mom thinks i fail as a girl LOL
Tuesday: After getting access to the email and wireless and database and what not, i started making calls to schools to get them to sign up for a free seminar on wealth management. I've never done telemarketing, so was pretty nervous at first, and i practically heave a huge sigh of relief after every call has ended LOL Made 89 calls HAHAHAHA Majority says the same thing la, email them, attention to who who who. Met up with Xin and Bih at Bugis after work for dinner at HongKong Cafe.
Wednesday: Continue with Telemarketing. Was slacking a bit more hahaha I didn't go on FB/MSN la but i was looking at this cosplay website while people put me on hold LOL Very boring one you know hahaha Met up with Mantou at Bugis after work for dinner at Mac.
Thursday: Telemarketing, then went out with my advisor, his colleague and 2 other interns from NYP called johnson and yongxin LOL Went to Bio Polis cause they had a seminar scheduled. All we did was place the information folder and pencils on the chair, sit and listen during the seminar and collect back the survey forms after the seminar. I was paying attention to the seminar okay! hahahaha It was rather interesting actually. I think the topic was on how to retire as a millionaire LOL 1. Don't put all your savings in the bank, cause the bank's interest rate is lower then the inflation rate. 2. the rule of 72. Or something hahahaha 3. When investing, ignore market timing and something about dollar something averaging LOL I remember the concepts, i just don't remember the terms LOL Went back to the office after the seminar, lunch and then resumed telemarketing. Met up with spermy and songee at Bugis for dinner at Just Sweets. Had fun making fun of them! haahahahaha And because of SOMEBODY, we had a very late dinner. lol
Friday: Telemarketing. 100calls. 1 appointment. LOL Conclusion: the email system should give readers an option of yes/no at the end of the email, and when they click their ans an auto generated email can be sent back to us to notify us of their decision. Sure, it means that i'll have about 200+++ emails in the inbox right now, but it also means i don't need to make calls to all the schools/companies again, only to hear the same ans in different variations. "If they don't reply, it probably means they're not interested," "if they're interested they'll reply you...,""teachers having PSLE now, really busy period, may get back to you later..." ARGH. Liddat how to follow up!!! How long do i wait before i transfer their emails to the "rejected section?" And they never call back when they say they will. Another problem, 90% of the time im calling people, so how the hell are they going to get through even if they did call back. Guess i'll never know. LOL Went home for dinner.
Really, TGIF man.
I was counting down right from the first day.
It starts from counting down to lunch, then to dinner, then striking the day off LOL Thinking of the attachment as 30days is more comforting then thinking it as 6weeks LOL i pray hard hard i won't be doing telemarketing (all the time) for all 6weeks. There are 3days of training, bout 3hours each, about telemarketing -_- and financial training. I really do hope my advisor gives me other job to do. Like data entry, or filing, i really hate calling :( Even though my advisor says im good at it. I think i sound like an operator now LOL
okay thats all for now hahaha
