I have always loved to travel
I dreamt of being a pilot, air stewardess/flight crew, tour leader, business woman, etc.
Professions that allowed me to travel..
But as I settled into my current profession, I discovered...
It does not allow me to do so...
The companies that I have been to, does not require me to travel
No doubt friends and family who travel for work says that business travel is a tiring affair,
I would still like to try
I tried to interview for flight crew before
but was rejected
I tried only once as compared to the number of girls who actually tried many many times.
I was doing it for fun at that time anyway,
as I was going for further studies soon
I tried the tour leader position but was told that only confirmed employees can lead tours
But my manager refused to confirm me and even told me that she doesn't think that I will stay in the profession long.
Fine... I left..
Miserable pay, long hours, throat infection....
and even having to work while you are nursing a throat infection (can't talk at all and you need to talk to sell)
And getting scolded if you dun have enough sales cos the people at your table takes a long time to decide (my fault?! I'm supposed to push them to make a decision?! never mind...)
Pushing factors that made me leave..
And guess what's the funny thing? The said Manager saw me again when I was with another company and ask me to recommend sales, products for her. She was trying to get business for her new company through me... duh...
So what do I do?
I travel for leisure.
China, New Zealand, England, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, USA, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, I have been there. =D
But of cos... I do not have the $$ or the time to explore the entire country.
Just certain parts of the country. =)
Time for more traveling!
