After I came back from Melbourne, I am beginning to feel suffocated with my new job at that time. Being a lecturer in Masterskill is not the standard of my expectation. Anyway, it is not nice to talk bad about other organization here. Bottom line: Not for me. Hence, I have been praying and God open ways for me. Guess what, back into the banking field. After all I have been trying so hard to break away from banking and now back to banking? Everyone thinks that I am out of my mind. Finally I gave it a try. Just like dear said, "How bad could it be when things are worse in Masterskill?".
Well, here I am in HSBC for almost 5 months as an Accounts Manager for commercial banking. To my surprise, everything were so different here. We do not have meetings/training in classroom method. Instead, we use webminar,no secretary etc. Most importantly is the relationship and closeness between managers and staffs. Well, of course workload is much heavier. Imagine I have to meet sales target, conduct monthly review, processing of loan, recover excess of my portfolio, selling investments, opening of current account...name it and I am doing it! Not an easy job.
I was struggling in the first three months. Things doesn't seem to look good. I feel like I am trapped into a dark room without any door to escape. I have been in despair and depressed. I cries, asking God to why He allowed these things to happen in my life. All complains, anger and frustration are channeled to dear. Arguments were triggered. I just want to take this opportunities to thank Him for his gentleness and patience with me.
Here I am, 3 months of hardship and finally I can see the rewards in the 4th month. Cases are being referred to me and most importantly, I am adapting to the HSBC culture. Things are beginning to look easier to me as I have went through the rough and patchy road.
Now I am thanking God here for He wants me to grow out of my comfort zone and be competitive. He wants me to grow up and equip myself with knowledge.
