5 Questions People Can’t Stop Asking When You Work for an E-Commerce Company
Joining an E-Commerce company that is more or less known among your social circle can be incredibly exciting, and a minor ego boost for someone whose resume is made up of a smattering of club committees and that one internship that was as compatible with your degree as chalk and cheese, i.e. me when I graduated from university.
In light of this post marking my first year in the “working world” as they call it, here are 5 questions I’ve been asked most frequently by my friends, family and acquaintances upon them finding out where I work (with a hint of tongue-in-cheek :P):
5 signs your co-worker has become your Work BFF
To the corporate newbie, the working world can be a real jungle, with cryptic industrial terminology (“vertical” doesn’t mean up and down, right?) and the occasional office beast ready to snap you up for breakfast. Does your boss’s poker face hide a smouldering rage within, or is that creepy dude sitting across you the cause of those stains that appeared mysteriously on your chair after you took the day off? (read: temporary foot rest)
For the lucky few, we have our Work BFFS, people whom we love dearly and happen to work with (BuzzFeed, 2013). Here are 5 ways to tell your co-worker has become your Work BFF.
Hello 2014!
Happy New Year peeps! With 2013 behind us, I’m sure that everyone has had their fair share of firsts, laughs, ups and downs in the past 12 months. 😉 As for me, I’m just stoked that I made it through a tumultuous year in one piece, what with my graduation (finally!) and my first job. 😀
My 2013 ended with Virgin Australia Voyeur picking up my photo from Maison Ikkoku for their Insider’s Guide to Singapore. I’m pretty psyched that my work was considered good enough to be part of an actual publication and, well, it’s been a while since the thrill of seeing my photos published during my days as a news intern. 😛
Contrast (Hong San See @ Mohamed Sultan Road)
I visited Hong San See a while back with the intention of test shooting a roll of Neopan 400.
Getting there was easy, and I enjoyed a quiet afternoon exploring the temple grounds by myself – until a groundskeeper scared the living daylights out of me by appearing out of nowhere and gruffly informing me that he would be locking up soon.
With limited time left on the Temple of Phoenix Hill, I stepped outside and snapped a couple of photos of the temple’s exterior as a memento of my time there, before climbing down the long flight of stairs to lower ground.
It wasn’t until I had sent the entire roll for development and scanning, that I could see the products of my “photo walk”. Ah, such is the anticipation that is heightened only by the process of film photography. 😉
