I started the new year on a very dull, yet significant note. I enrolled myself to do CIM as a professional qualification for the sake of career development. I thought it was about time I started doing it since these qualifications matter. Being exempted from the first stage was quite heartening, not to mention having a small cloud of insecurity hanging above my head. That insecurity came about from the unknown of what will come my way. Professional exams are not like academic degrees where you can just write anything and expect to get marks for it; if that is so, then no point doing it either. I realised from my first class itself that things were different- so it should be!!
I like going back to that studying mode, but this time with a challenge of balancing my work life as well. I'm taking all the subjects in stage 2 since I don't want to drag it too long. I'm determined to make it to managerial level within the next 3 years. I find my work interesting since its a completely different industry I'm in; one which I never thought I'll enter. The aspect of marketing applies in a whole different way here. I should also say that my employer is a sought after company having a superb image among the public. I gel quite well with my team members as well.
I should make it a point to blog more often since there are so many things I want to put into words. But time is not always available in my case. On a more startling note, I had apparently said something about Ms. X to cause some ripples even though I was not in Malaysia. Talk about a shocker! I had to do damage control and fast since my reputation was at stake. It's a good thing that I had very trustworthy friends in Malaysia to depend on from miles away. Plus, I cared what she thought of me as a person. I wouldn't have known any of it if I hadn't chatted with Ms. Psychic on fb after donkey's years. I wonder how all my girls are doing in Malaysia?!?
Hey girls, if you're reading this do holler back, ok :D tc
