after working, i really feel the strong business culture differences among different nationalities. ang mo is much much better, they will joke with you, making e working environment more relax, not tensing everyone up. Asian is a little kiasu, they will press you for the itinerary. The worst I can say is Singaporeans. Always think that they rule the world. The worst thing still is that it is always the secretary that thinks she is very big, always complaining about this about that. Hello..ya rite, i know that we are service providers, but can you phrase in a better manner and stop criticizing others that they didnt send you e email which in fact they did. You are only a secretary; the real client is your boss! Communicating with the boss is so much better, they understand u better and will joke with u too! no authority at all. I cant say that everyone is bad, there are also nice secretary around. Spoke with airline staffs also. One guy from SIA spoke to me, nice people, i can say. Air France people is also great, although I kept on saying the wrong reference code, she is still patient with me.
Today, had a tedious itinerary to plan out. Although just a very short itinerary, the lack of airline seat will sometime make people faint. the number of class to consider, the different fare code, the choice of airlines...and meeting deadline of the clients..
ya..this job is great so far, at least one can make use of e brain to plan out itinerary. But it is a little constraint, no walkabout, haha. but after being expose to this job, i want to work for e airline maybe SIA..JAL..ANA...sale and marketing.. strategic product planning and marketing. Yeah. It is fun looking at the amount of marketing collaterals they send out and the strong competitions among airlines. Each of the airline really knows their competitors well.. Once their competitors market some promotions, they will start to react. This is really the real marketing world. So challenging!
I wan to go Japan! I wan to explore the world! Leisure time is just so little when one go back after work. will start to feel tired and sleep. The next day is work again...plan to do things after work, but sleep overrides everything.
