After office hour end, I have an appointment with Ms Nesu as I promised to meet her up after work last week. Well, she found me on LinkedIn and I just feel that somehow the LinkedIn Premium membership seems to be having more credibility than normal account in term of adding professional people from different field. Actually I have a bad mood after the
scam case happened but still need to be professional in someway. Anyways, we meet up in Starbucks Nu Sentral and I buy her a drinks since she helped me on something as below.
Luckily I do earn some Starbucks credit from my past blogging opportunity. Ms Nesu come from a very strong professional consultant background based on her LinkedIn profile as below.
Through her sharing, I start to understand more about working society and really felt grateful to get some new knowledge from her.
Seriously I just get to know the rank status when you're working for people in the corporate ladder although she said it is a common sense as below.
If you view the chart above, most of the people start from executive level, then slowly move up to senior executive, manager, senior manager, assistant director and etc and I just get to know this as a 25 year old guy. Normally every staff will eventually become senior executive after working for 2 years. In her sharing, it seems that my resume not really nice when I become admin back in 2014 and people will question why you are online marketer person in 2012 become admin in 2014? Moreover, my working experience isn't really strong enough in the view of employer. Basically Ms Nesu sharing is really good for fresh graduate and you can gain good advice from her as she have more than 10+ years of working experience.
One important lesson that shared by her is you need to be specialize in your domain in order to be successful in your field. For instance, you can't simply choose a job without having a clear direction in life as you're just wasting your time if you keep on trying different things. Most of the successful person only specialize on one skills instead of having multiple role. As an example, you won't simply trust work as a lawyer and also a doctor at the same time right? Hence, if I really want to be successful, I need to be specialize in my digital marketing field instead of venturing into others stuff like my recent
SAP qualification. Furthermore, I just feel that a marketing person need to be good in "twist and turn" story as you can't really be so straight when doing business. If people asked me why I do admin job, the best way to answer it is that being an admin for back end job for
e-commerce payment industry can help me to understand more about the domain knowledge in someway.
Moreover, I am really passionate about digital marketing and been given opportunity by boss to change to another role. Basically this type of answer can really impress people in someway according to her sharing.
I felt that everything have 2 sides and it is depend how you turn the story into a positive one. In addition, she said that having a very good attitude is very important in your career path. Anyways, she shared that there is some strong media person that I could refer such as Mr Prxxhxxxt Kumar from Ixx media brands, Univxxxl MxCann has a strong influence in the media field. If you want to know more about digital marketing, we need to learn more about programmatic media strategy. Frankly speaking, I do know that my knowledge is limited as I often "swim by my own" on researching. Guess it is true that it is important to have senior guide instead of doing everything alone like one man show. I'm not sure it is true about it's lonely at the top statement.
Overall it is a very great sharing from her and I hope I can
create some value for others people in someway. For now, I shall focus on digital marketing and become expert in this field and don't always compare myself with my peers.
What is important is how much you can learn after empty yourself. During the moment at the train, I did have a lot of thoughts again as below.
I suddenly recall the
Uber girl sharing yesterday that you need to read more motivation in order to cheer up yourself in someway.
Once you master your skills, money will eventually come. Somehow I wish I can inspire people who are young than me for not following my mistaken footstep. Imagine if you're 18 year old now, and you can instant download all the knowledge I have written for past 8 years into your brain, wouldn't it great that you can avoid the mistake or experience that I encounter? Apparently I found the reason I survived is I hope I can find the answer to be "immortal" in someway on this earth. Do you think is it possible to live forever in this earth? That's was my silly thought again. Stay positive.
=)
