First Day at the Big O
Monday, January 4, 2010
So today's the first day of my first real and proper job. First in my WHOLE life. Yes, I kid you not. I've never really worked before.
I've got to say that corporate life might be for me. I felt great. I felt smart. I enjoyed walking down the CBD. I like the smart and crisp look that I wore, and that everyone was wearing around me. If there was a complain I had to make, it would be about squeezing on the train to get to work.
Nevermind, I'll aim to get a car as my first item once I graduate so I'd have my own personal space. I'd rather kept stuck in traffic than get stuck between 6 other people!
That aside, the Ogilvy PR office colleagues seem rather nice, the culture is friendly, and there's an inhouse "cafe" with a barista-aunty to serve us coffee and tea on demand, all on the house. Seems like a pretty conducive work space.
Meh, perhaps some downsides would be the tedious bureaucratic procedures that a large firm like Ogilvy has, such as detailed timesheets and billing accountability to clients. Every fax, print, copy, and scan has to be carefully noted and recorded to each client. Every hour spent on doing something for a client has to be recorded as well.
I guess some clients appreciate such accountability when being billed, or perhaps this is just how large PR firms like Ogilvy earn their big bucks! Everything also charge! Scan charge. Print charge. Fax also charge ahahahaha...
Looking forward to the future. I'm sure it'll be a heavy job with the many accounts that I'll have to help out with. Let's hope this positive spin on corporate life stays!
