Hey, wake up Yvonne. Do u remember how much you wanted to work in big F&B companies like F&N, APB, Auric Pacific or even Diethlem?
Since young, I am exposed to F&B trade. I remember clearly when I was young, my Mum started working as Merchandiser. I followed her to work as she needs to service supermarket outlets. I love going to work with her because I get to go to all the shopping centres & supermarkets. I enjoy her kind of work bcos its freedom, own time own target - as in the faster u finish, the faster u can knock off. I love it.
After poly, I had my first job as Pest Control sales. YUCKS. the job scope sucks although u can go home after you punch card, but theres no sense of satisfaction! You dont achieve anything at all !
And so, F&N happened to have job opening for Area Sales & Vending Sales.
Vending Sales - Drives Car, Higher Pay, Diploma
Area Sales - Drives Van, bring home about 3K, 'O' Levels
I applied for Area Sales becos I am totally raw in this industry and I wanted to give myself some time to be exposed to this industry first.
I went for the first interview. It was a breeze. Passed that & I was called for the 2nd interview.
Both times the interviewer asked me if I want to apply for Vending Sales. I rejected them.
SIGHS. and they never call already la ~
Now, I am given the opportunity again. As you all know, I am on pretty good terms with the lady from marketing side. I stand a better chance now with good sales track records and furthermore, F&N is my customer !
But I would like Bun to go for the interview first and get the lady to intro him in first as I dont want him to continue working at his present company with miserable pay, miserable benefits and miserable PEOPLE!
Should I try? Hmm.. I am scared actually cos I am in my comfort zone now in my present company and I've good colleagues. But then, there isnt any prospect here. Maybe yes, in 10 or 20 yrs down the road...
