Retrenched Experience

-

When it comes to the journey of life, of course each of us has a very different journey. There are times we will feel happy and there are times we will feel very sad especially when the test comes suddenly.

I’m not sure, how many people have ever experienced a situation of being laid off while showing excellent performance. The fact is that it is always the case though undesirable, even I myself was a victim of circumstances. unable to do anything due to the fact that as a subordinate, can be trampled on at any time.

My first experience of being fired or terminated was when I worked as a Tele-Marketing at one of the IPTS in the city. The reason I was terminated was because the college management claimed that the performance I showed during the probationary period was very disappointing.

The fact that I was a victim during that period, my salary payments were put into someone else’s account. Then the management paid my salary like giving alms to a beggar. I fell victim to political toys at work. As a new employee, I want to create good relationships between colleagues. Apparently there were eyes that watched and started to act when they felt I was a threat to them.

If my work performance is not satisfactory. How in just 3 months, I was able to achieve the sales target set by the Head of Tele-Marketing Unit. I was still fired, it was indeed the intention of certain individuals in the organization. But there is wisdom behind what happened because I am thankful to be fired so that I do not feel guilty towards the students who registered under me.

Previously, I promised that students would only have to pay RM300 upon registration and the rest would be arranged by the College. On the other hand, the college acted to ask the students to pay tuition fees because the education loan managed by the college has not been approved.

Next, my service as a private school teacher was terminated because the management at that time could no longer afford the cost of school management including the cost of turning the shop unit into a school. Although my monthly salary is less than RM500 a month. Eventually the school was temporarily closed and I was fired.

Later, I was fired as a tuition center teacher because some of the tuition center staff ran away, the cause was kept secret, only I understood that the tuition center involved a lack of management funds. Although my income was only around RM300 a month but the management could not afford the cost burden eventually closed and I was fired.

The next experience was when I worked in Putrajaya. After 4 years working as a contract staff and there were practical students at the place I worked at the time. Succeeded in getting a permanent position in the same Ministry while I was still a contract worker.

I was informed from the beginning that every contract employee in the Ministry would be terminated. To be honest it was very disappointing announcement, but it did not discourage me to give the best service to the last minute.

The last experience of my contract as an employee was terminated when the Barisan Nasional government lost in the last 14th GE. Due to a change of government block, the company I worked for had to terminate our contract within 24 hours.

Despite the promise of compensation, the balance of the promised payment value has yet to be settled even though my friends and I have lodged a complaint at the State Labor Office.

My luck is good because from my experience of terminating my contract, I started learning to save when starting contract work in a new place later. The actual fact of my life journey is still sad because I have always been a victim of certain parties. I'm not good at office politics, so of course I'm always the victim in various situations.

Pengalaman menjadi Guru

Setiap dari kita pasti bertemu seorang insan bernama 'Cikgu'. Insan yang memainkan peranan penting dalam mendidik kita selain dari ibubapa di rumah.  Dari dahulu lagi, orang sering ibaratkan menjadi guru ini seperti menjadi sebatang lilin yang membakar diri demi menerangi jiwa dan hati anak bangsa. Aku ingin berkongsi sedikit pengalaman menjadi seorang cikgu. Pengalaman yang tidak pernah terjangka di minda aku. Pernah memohon menjadi guru lepasan DPLI atau KPLI tapi semua permohonan aku gagal termasuk temuduga yang turut keputusannya mendukacitakan aku. Kisah aku menjadi guru bermula apabila tamat kontrak sebagai tele-marketing sebuah Kolej Swasta di Kota Bharu.Ketika itu, aku menghantar resume ke semua organisasi yang difikirkan sesuai termasuk sekolah swasta.  Dijadikan cerita, pada suatu hari aku menerima panggilan temuduga dari salah satu Sekolah Swasta di Kota Bharu. Sekolah tersebut dikatakan merupakan sekolah yang terkenal sejak dari dahulu lagi. Sekolah tersebut ba

Walaupun telah lama aku tinggalkan Universiti Malaya, terutama Jabatan Pengajian Media, masih ada kenangan yang terpahat dalam ingatan. Pelbagai kisah tidak tercatat tetapi di coret dalam kamus hidup aku. Setelah melaporkan diri di Kolej Kediaman Ke-7, aku mempunyai tempoh 1-2 minggu untuk menentukan Subjek Major & Minor bagi melengkapkan Ijazah Sarjan Muda nanti.   Pada mulanya aku berminat pada Pengajian Hubungan Antarabangsa & Strategik sebagai subjek major.  Namun pada hari pertama masuk kelas pengenalan, lecture terus bagi assignment yang lebih fokus kepada undang-undang antarabangsa, membuatkan aku terasa takut sangat dengan beban bakal aku pikul nanti. Lagipun aku bukan dalam kategori pelajar pintar seperti orang lain. Seterusnya aku mencuba Jabatan Pengajian Media, abang aku merupakan mantan pelajar Jabatan ini, maka aku pernah mendapat pendedahan berkenaan hala tuju graduan Jabatan Pengajian Media nanti.  Bagi pelajar-pelajar yang ingin mendapatkan Jabatan pilihan mere

BAGAIMANA MENJADI TELEMARKETING?

-
Aku ingin kongsi pengalaman bekerja sebagai Telemarketing bagi sebuah Institusi Pendidikan di bandar Kota Bharu, seingat aku sekitar tahun 2008. Walaupun bekerja atas nama status kontrak, ia memberi pengalaman baru kepada aku, secara peribadi.Maklumlah budak pengajian media dari Universiti Malaya tiba-tiba jadi budak marketing. Apabila aku tamat latihan "on job training" di sebuah GLC yang base di Airports Subang pada tahun 2007. Aku mengambil keputusan balik kampung untuk menjaga ibu yang kini tinggal seorang setelah kematian abah. Aku mengambil inisiatif menghantar resume ke seluruh institusi atau organisasi yang dirasakan sesuai di sekitar Kota Bharu pada awal tahun 2008. Salah sebuah organisasi yang aku hantar permohonan terbuka telah menghubungi aku untuk hadir ke sesi temuduga yang aku tidak mengetahui apa jawatannya. Proses temuduga berjalan lancar, alhamdulillah aku berjaya dalam temuduga tersebut dan aku mula melaporkan diri sebagai Tele-Marketing bagi organisasi
