1 year after graduating from university

The letter for fresh graduates, 

Congratulations for you, especially for those who strive hard in university life, actively engage in all events, at the same time have to maintain the cgpa in studies. This will definitely be the greatest memories in your life that you will never forget and it will also be a great training for you to prepare you before stepping into the real world. 

If you were to struggle in deciding which path to go, do not give up in searching. Start something instead of doing nothing. It would be great to begin with internship, it doesn't matter whether it is a well established company or a small business company. From there you get to understand more about your ability, your area of interest and from there you get to know more of your weakness and strength. Some colleagues may share you their experiences, you are able to learn knowledge and experience on how you look at certain problems and situations. At the end of the day, you will finally realise effective communication also place a very important role in our part of life. 

A year ago, I feel fortunate to met such a great colleagues, boss, especially my senior. (Only get to know her during internship). They helped me well in sharing how to get things done in a correct way and  guided me when I am in doubt and do not know what to do, it wouldn't be that easy without their support. This wonderful internship experience only last for 14 weeks. After the internship, one of my colleagues introduced me to her friend's company as they provide some head count in several departments. I sent my resume to her, she then helped me to forward it to the respective department for further procedures. 

After a week later, I got a call from the company for interview. Yes, I went to the interview. Two tall and big man interviewed me. Asked me some questions on how to handle rare situations. I tried my best to answer all the questions with confident base on my previous working experiences. Finally I got the call from HR that I got the job in two weeks time. The first three months of working may not be a favour for me, due to the huge transition from an instore sales became on field sales, from waiting customer to approach you became you approach customer face to face. The travel distances may not be that near too. That's why the first few months has been a  quite challenging months for me, but I can finally say that I already get over it. Now I finally confirmed and getting used to the working pattern. 

Do not give up, do not give up, and do not give up so easily! Is what keeps me going. I always gratitude to those who helped me and support me along the way. Thanks for everything my family and friends as well as my pretty girl friend that always believing in me. 

All the best to you too. 

Life is short, so do something that you will thank for yourself in the future!
