I have been quite busy till I have no bloody time for myself and also for my blog. My new job keeping me away from everything. The last thing I ever want in my life two weeks back was getting myself a proper job and settled down.
I went for few interviews. Mostly will succeed in the first interviews. They will say that they will call for the next interview and that’s it. U won’t get any answers or news from them. Is this one way to say NO to a successful first interviews candidates? At last, I got a decent job for myself. I was hired by a food company, AIM food manufacturing in Cheng, Melaka for Food Technologist position. Although it is not directly related to what I majored in, I was glad that it will somehow link back to biotechnology or sciences.
Happily started my job on 8th November 2010. The first day, all the rules and rego was read to me. And they, made sure I truly understand all of them- literally. Then, came the discipline part. They looked at my nicely polished long nails n next minute I know there was a nail clipper right next to me. And they asked me to cut it all right at the moment!!! I was sooooo broken hearted. I know the last time I have seen my finger nails short was back in my primary school when I was in primary six. I have given no choice. It was part of HACCP for those who are working in food industry. Then came the second rule. UCANT WEAR ANY BLOODY PERFUME!!!!!! U gotta be kidding me!! What is a life for a girl without perfume? I don’t know about others. But I never leave the house without perfume. But now, for the job sake I’m doing it. While I’m trying to absorb all these rules in one day, there came the third rule. U CAN’T WEAR ANY ACCESSORIES. No earings, no chain, no hairclips and no nothing. 6 out of 7 days I have to be like this. What a life I’m having!!!! With all this, everyday I have to do overtime. So I’ll leave the house at 8am and will be back home at 8 or sometime 9 pm.
What I could do now? I have to go through this at least for 1 year, until I learnt all the skills and get a year experience. Then, I can apply for other company which is more fun working with. So for the moment I’m trying my best to adapt into this new environment and “fun-filling” working life.
Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteSorry, Jaya dear for laughing but I just can't help it.. hehe
I've not heard about such rules before but then it's food industry we are talking about and I guess guidelines to safeguard the cleanliness and safety take precedence over everything else. I hope they don't stop u and other workers from putting on deodorant or body lotion as well hehehe
It does suck that u don't get much quality time spent on yourself and family with all the overtime :( Like u mentioned, bear with it until u gain all the necessary experience and skills so that u can apply or have whatever it takes to negotiate for a better job while at the mean time, make the most of it
Hopes to hear more from u, even if it's about ur job.. :)
Take care and miss u *muackkkss*
haha.... it's true... cleanliness and safety take precedence over everything. trying my very best to cope with it. but i'm really sure tht this place is only for me to learn all the Quality Assuarance/ Quality Control skills. after that, definitely i'm flying away! i can't bear with the rules!!!!
