I still can’t believe that i got the job, hehehe..it felt so unreal ni…that i am going back to the fitness industry. I may not be in my department anymore ( Group Exercise) but this is how my life and journey in fitness industry started..i was working as personal trainer in clark hatch malaysia. ahhhh…the feeling of being happy, excited and soooo grateful that i was hired ni… unbelievable ..im so satisfied ni..that’s how i feel.. puas hati sangat sangat.

I do not have to wake up in the morning and think..Yea, i got a job but i dont like the job but i have to do it because i need the money…it’s so demotivating you know… but now, i dont feel like that anymore…YEA!

Before this job…i was actually offered 2 jobs..one as an account manager and another one was event and promo exec, both jobs require me to do sales…there’ s pros and cons to both jobs.

Account manager, its a distance from home and basic was really really low..but commission offered apparently was great ( they do not want to tell me how much was the commission, cos they say it vary from one product to another) and then its an established company and i am bound with them for 1 year to which if i perform well they will hired me as full time stuff.

The event and promo exec was not too far away from the account manager job office,its like neighbouring town only, The basic salary  was ok but commision was not mentioned at all although the manager did say if i manage to bring result in 3 months as agreed, he will reward me with bonus but  if i failed ,he will sacked me immediately on the third month! “gasp”

The pressure was high ( for me la).. you see i do not have any background on promo or event..my only experience handling sales and event was in Interexpo but that comes with guidance..but apparently this company do not want to spend so much time on teaching and guiding you but want you to bring result straight away..hence i was given a target to reach rm10k in 3 months time…for a roller bladding sport arena…in an ulu place….”gasp again” when he offered me the job..i was not confident at all about the Rm10k in 3 months time..i need to learn, study and understand the market..macam mana mau deliver 10k in 3 months time?? Specially for a person like me who do not know nothing about roller bladding..and my given period was only 3 months??  and if not..IM OUT! And the thought of  losing my job in 3 months times …stressed me out  and made me worried sick

But the magic call came in on wednesday afternoon, asking me to come in for an interview and without thinking much i said yes to it and on the same day i was called back again for second interview on monday…and now..here i am going on a new journey, new place, new challenges with the new company…
