It was our shopping time last Saturday night. While on the way back to Klang, I saw my cellphone (to be accurate is mum's cellphone, she lent me her old one) showed a group of unfamiliar numbers. Since my C3 got stolen by the thief snatch, I lost everyone's numbers. Hence, it don't hesitate me from picking up the call.
" Hello, Pei Suang Jie~ what's u doing?" what a familiar sound transfered from the other side of the phone. It has been ages I have never heard from my secondary school friends. In fact, I always stranded them up every gatherings they held in the reason of staying in Kampar or Kuala Lumpur. To be honest, I was just being terribly lazy sometimes, SOMETIMES.
And it was still so great to hear from him after hundred months not meeting each other. He asked me if I was looking for part time job lately. Yup, I did said it in my Facebook. He told me that his friend was looking for part timer for Umobile promote project and the remuneration, frankly speaking, it is attractive and lumayan what we said in Malay. Hence, I decided to accept the offer without more consideration ( in fact, I used half an hour to decide). The people in charge briefed me at late 11pm through cellphone which made me dreamed of all the conversation in the late midnight. I wondered it has been a long time since I worked as promoter in 2008 and this made me incredibly nervous.
The place where I worked is Meru Cosway. Well, I saw your question marks up your head. I was also "what the..." while I got to know my working place is Cosway. " Do they need promoter in their outlet?" and especially most of the outlets are located at the shop lot which normally not many passer-by even if it was weekend. Nevertheless, as long as they pay me money then not a big deals.
Then, I decided to stand outside of the outlet which means along the corridor, from 10 am to 10pm ( minus < 2 hours break). I think I did not make them waste their payment to me as I did my job completely. I stood beside the corridor, smiled to every passer-by and promoted: Are you interested in signing up Umobile Prepaid Sim Card?
I am not skillful in promoting stuffs and not aggressive enough. I am the one who will shy and felt sad when people showed me their annoying faces when I approached them. However I am the kind that could revive very soon and started promoting to the next target within a seconds. I am still the one who have thick face in fact. Nevertheless, receiving bad and sour faces from the strangers is broken heart. It is hurt.
If I have got a chance, I would rather choose to stand aside and smile wholehearted to every passer-by, receiving their happy faces in return but not trying so hard to do the promoting stuffs to them which in return to get them annoying and impatient.
Moreover, I thought of something when I was standing still beside the corridor while waiting for the next passer-by. If it wasn't the job that you interested or you like, even if it extended only a minute, you will feel like it is ages. However, I could still recalled the days training in the newspaper agency. I was happy and 'tiredless' even if I needed to work overtime. Furthermore, I even required to work more during public holiday. Thus, work what you like then you will not feel bored and hard. It is a whole life things.
And I am not a born-to-be promoter.
Quote someone's saying: You will felt like in holiday even if you worked overtime or work everyday without off days if the job you were doing is your interest.
I do believe this.
