Learn from the Election

Guys,

Many people said that election is dirty and politicians are also dirty so don't put your foot into it. I reserve my comments on this coz I'm not a politician and I do not belong to any political party. But I would like to observe their ways giving speeches, persuading voters to vote for them and their style of hitting one another (perhaps I should say twist turning the facts or attack - counter attack). Aren't they practicing Tai Chi?

While I don't know who is right and who is wrong, however, I really learn something from their presentation styles and their speech teraphy. So, in order for me to improve my presentation skills and to be a better training & development professional, this is the time!

So guys, if you see me attending any lectures or speech by either the government or the opposition, its not that I support them... I am learning by stealing from them. For those of you who are in the process of looking for a job and preparing to go for an interview, this is the time to learn to be brave, to talk without being shy and to be proud that you can speak!

Back on Feet

It has been the worst year for me. Promises had been made for my future. Bright, lots of opportunities, big salary, stability, blah blah blah... My job had been redundant and I was retrenched. To the head hunter who introduced me, thank you for getting me this job. To those who hired me, thank you for painting a good picture for me.

However, what goes around comes around. I've been doing good all this while and so when news broke out that I am jobless, many people had called me and lending a helping hand to recommend me to a job. Even head hunters been calling me, saying someone had referred my name to them.

To all those who tried to help me, thank you very much. I will update you guys when I got a job. I'm very optimistic about it...
