JOB SHADOW DAY 2

more walking..
but it's all worth it..
instead of meeting 2 or more of his clients, i only managed to meet only one coz the other one is during night time therefore i can't attend.
coincidently, the client that we have to meet is rotarian Violet who loves PURPLE.
she's in a dating agency together with his husband.
AND zihan is there!!!!! hahax.

after we talk with rot. Violet and her husband, rot. Max showed me more about the city area.
at the same time he thought me some tips that is useful.

he told me that raffles city mall and raffles place is situated at two diff areas.

then he showed me the world's biggest water fountain but sadly it was under renovation.
we also went to marina barage. we have a quick look around the place and i got a clearer picture of how spore reclaims land coz that area is still under construction so i got the chance to see the bulldozers digging putting in sand and insert the pipes etc.

he then talked about first impression - why he wore formally almost all the time.
being a financial planner means you have to meet people, engage in communications all sorts of stuffs so when you are face to face with someone new who knows nothing about you, first impression - how you look counts a lot.

next is when you're out there looking for a job. the way you are dressed, your achievements, confidence, and some techniques when you're being interviewed.

he showed me this shop located at one office building if i'm not mistaken. the shop simply was ful of boxes. the deco is classic. i thought the shop was selling electronic numbers coz it was displayed outside but it isn't. max asked me what are they selling. i made a few guesses and it's all wrong. he then told me, "why don't you go and take a look inside, and ask the salesgirl." although i love shopping, i'm quite shy to ask especially if the shop doesn't fit my age group. luckily the salesgirl is nice and approached me. she said, "do you want to try the samples?". guessed what they're selling. it's CHOCOLATES. the box spelled CH-C-LATE. it was wonderful.

"asking is not harmful.." - max goh

he showed me the NUS guild. it's a place for graduates to hang out after their universities. there's restaurants, karaoke lounge, ballroom, IT room, and pub. but it's for members only.

after a few hours of sightseeing and walking, we went back to rot.Victoria's dating agency office. she will be having an interview by mediacorp so me and zh got the chance to see how they filmed. the reporter seemed prepared professionally seh. they're reporting for channel u and channel newsasia i guessed(judging by the microphones they used).
