Make Dreams Come True, I’m A Fresh Graduate --- Meilan Luo

[Staff Stories]In this February, I joined Shenzhen SDMC as an intern. Many friends asked me why I choose to be an administrative receptionist, my answer was: This job is just a transition, I will change to another career after I finished my internship. But time flies before I realized I have worked over 6 months. The internship was over long ago and my minds is different with when I came to SDMC.

The work of an administrative receptionist seems simple, but it needs carefulness and patience. Carefulness is one my short comes. I can finish my work in the given time but I am not sure I do it perfectly. As an administrative receptionist in SDMC helps me to become careful. I doesn’t matter no matter how much tedious work I should do because I know a good habit can be formed by from them. The six months’ work in SDMC let me leant about design software, such as Photoshop, AI, and CorelDraw. I like creation, so every time I design a cue card, I try different styles.

Checking attendance is one of my main work. I need to do it once a week and finish a whole month’s attendance in the beginning of next month and report it to the financial department. It seems a very simple work. But it is complicated when it operates. I need to take care of all the work-off days and times by reasons because different reasons causes different deductions on salary. Over the months work, I have worked out my way on how to do it quickly. Now I checked twice before I give the final report. I told myself that it’s OK that mistakes happens in my first edition, but no mistakes is permitted in the final edition. My goal is to make no mistakes in the following months.

My career will not be an administrative receptionist thought I chose as my first job. I was confused about my life career at first and I kept asking myself “Do I really like this job” . The answer was yes and no. It gets clear until someone told me to love what I do now. He told me no on can have a perfect job and you can get a more suitable job only if you love what you do right now. He told me to find our my shortcoming s in my work, address them and get more and more working experience.

In order to get the most suitable job in three years, I need to answer five questions:

First, which industry do I like?

Second, which kind of department?

Third, which position?

Fourth, what are the duties of the position I choose?

Fifth, what should I improve?

Thanks to my first job and thanks Shenzhen SDMC.
