After
A levels, I took up a job in University Town, Cinnamon College, as a causal
temp staff. I helped out with management of the facilities of the building,
following contractors around. It was quite a fruitful experience as skills and
knowledge I learnt through the staffs there and contractors were practical and
useful in my everyday life. Also, after working on defects, students would
thank us and there would be a sense of accomplishment.
However,
there were times when I was not organised and was not able to ensure that the
contractors complete their job. Resulting in a delay in the completion of the
job causing a panic before the start of the new semester before the students
went back to study.
Having worked there for several months, I grew interested in this field subsequently. Thus, leading me to study my current course of study, Projects and Facilities Management. With the things I learn from this course, I seek to improve myself so that I can contribute more to the society, working more efficiently and in a more organised manner. This was a learning journey that had brought me to where I am now in NUS.
