Yoz im back! Seems like ages i'm not online liao..

Browsed thru some of my frenz' blogs juz now, & was glad tt everyone was having fun in their lives... =)

Yeap i'd my fair share of fun at my 1st week of work myself too & it was not surprising at all coz...... i'd not even start doing anything yet!! Hahaa. It was orientation week for the 4 new ppl coming in so we haven't lay our hands on the REAL stuffs yet lah. *gulp*

So we spent our full 4days (tues-fri) @ the coldest part of my 3-lvls co. --> the board room, learning abt the co.'s history & daily operations of every department from the H.O.Ds. Sounds boring?? I thought so too intially. But it wasn't! Very fulfilling instead. Learnt tons abt general insurance (co. not doing life insur), & how (this very impt) i can fit into my Biz Development Dept for contributions..

Up till now, the only thing that i know is that i'll be working w my H.O.D directly (& v closely.. -_- stress haha) w the "agency" side of our Dept (Biz Devl Dept. needs to handly 3 areas --> the agents, banks, and direct clients)

Apparently, the co.'s new direction is to develop close relationships with the agents (especially) & so there's a need for careful recruitment of agents w necessary expertise for our 4 different underwriting depts (a.k.a the 4 incoming earning depts). I'll be solely handling the agents side, in which recruiting, managing, and motivating them fall into my job scope. *very marketing hor* Well, i duno how difficult (or stressful) will it be but i'll definitely try my best to do my job well! =)

Still establishing my friendships with the new grads (we'd 9 fresh grads in total, 5 in the previous batch of 2wks ago, & the 4 of us, each in one dept) & the old staff there (& when i say OLD, they are indeed OLD. =P Most of the staff have been working there for more than 10yrs lor lolz.. talk abt loyalty!)

New environment, new experience. I'm so looking forward to my official 1st day of work tml. Thou part of me deeply fear of not being able to reach up to the expectations of Veron (my H.O.D), making a mess out of whatever it is put into my hands, i noe it is totally self-distructing to dwell on it. Instead, i chose to meditate on a few bible scriptures that indeed have helped me lot in erasing my fears & lack of confidence these few days! Heez feel like sharing it here... here it goes.

(Bcoz i alwiz think im stupid compared to others.. so this helps a lot.. =P)
Jam 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberty and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

Ephe 3:20 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us."

Matt 5:16 "Let you light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. & i strongly believe in this! =)
