Kisah AKU n Turning Point!

Assalamualaikum,

Tadi aku keluar minum berseorangan kat Medan Selera berhampiran rumah. Budak dua orang tu takde, so perfect sangat untuk aku munasabah diri memikirkan hidup yang penuh pancaroba ini.
Warning: Entri ni mungkin mengandungi statement terlampau self bragging, reader discretion is advised.

Bila bukak cerita mengenai rezeki. Dah tentu, lain orang lainlah rezekinya. Masing-masing ada bahagian tersendiri. Ada yang cantik je perjalanan hidupnya, ada yang berliku dan ada yang kurang bernasib baik. But as for me, ianya satu laluan berliku. Jatuh naik, dan kadang-kadang rasa ada macam dah give up. Tapi, dari apa yang diajar - selagi nyawa dikandung badan. Maka, masih ada rezeki dan bahagian kita yang Allah nak bagi.

Academically, aku seorang normal student with an average result and fair extra curricular achievement. Alhamdulillah, after SPM aku berjaya sambung pelajaran di UiTM dari Foundation sampailah peringkat Degree. Nak kata berliku tu tak lah sangat, sebab memang cantik je perjalanan akademik aku - tak pernah repeat paper, repeat semester jauh sekali. Aktif dalam persatuan, sukan dan macam-macam lagi lah. Pendek kata, semuanya baik and some of my lecturers even ramalkan yang aku akan easily dapat kerja dalam government, or at least GLC dengan karekter yang aku ada.

Shortly after finishing my final paper in June 2014, aku dapat panggilan interview from Perodua Global for a position of Group Corporate Strategy Executive. I successfully made it to the final stage for this interview but failed to secure the job. I have been told that they wanted a fresh blood with an experience as well. A young and energetic Farid at that time, aku meradang jugaklah - Why put all trouble inviting me to this final stage, when you only want people with experience. You are wasting my time! Aku pun blah from HQ Perodua tu. A week later, dapat panggilan from Perodua Manufacturing for Procurement Executive - similar situation. Made it to the final stage, being in KIV for almost 2 weeks and later, the application was being rejected with similar reason. Fuck Off! Itu je word yang aku cakap time terima e-mel.

After that, dapat interview from Tan Chong Group, Ingress Corporation but still takde hasil. Almost 4 bulan jugak aku menganggur time tu denying prediction made by my lecturers. Jangankan GLC, small company pun tak nak aku at that time. Early of November, aku berjaya jugak masuk ke alam pekerjaan dengan menyertai Trueventus, a multinational company with HQ di Australia as a Business Development Executive. This is a sales job which I really hate and frankly speaking, I'm suffering every minutes here..haha. But amazingly for the sake of my own paycheck, aku berjaya bertahan almost 1 and half year there. Some contribution from this company yang akan aku ingat sampai bila-bila ialah - I paid the deposit for my first car only from my March's Commission (Itu lah sales record paling tinggi yang aku pernah dapat, earning around 14000 USD in a single month)

I resigned from Trueventus early December last year, joining CapSource as a Senior Business Development Executive. More paycheck, more commission bracket and more responsibilities. Still do the cold calling things, but at the same time work on special project given by the CEO. Seperti di company lama, I'm suffering too here. This happens when you have no passion of doing your task. Dah hampir 2 tahun aku berkecimpung didalam kerjaya yang tak pernah aku nak and it's not easy to live in hypocrisy. And just 2 days ago, I put an end to my career here. Perjalanan karier aku tak berapa baik. Tak dapat kerja yang diidamkan, dapat kerja but no passion, resigned twice and now back to square one, struggling.

Panjang lebar kan entri malam ni? Okay, back to the road itself. As far as my initial plan concerned, should things okay along the road. I'll have enough savings to book my first house this December, bertunang on Februari 2017 and start my own family early December 2017. But then, langit tak selalu cerah. Bad luck struck me and I'm completely helpless. Sometimes, memang ada rasa cemburu dihati. Tengok kawan yang ada kerja stabil, married and they seems happy dengan kehidupan yang diorang ada. Unlike them, I'm currently living in a very unstable condition with no permanent job, revising plan and hoping it's not too late to alter this dismal situation.

Jadi, entri ni didedikasikan kepada diriku di masa hadapan. In Sha Allah, bila aku berada dipuncak kerjaya aku suatu hari nanti. I'll always remember the point where I nearly give up and managed to turn the table with my prayers, intelligence, determination and dedication. Kita akan berjaya, Farid. In Sha Allah.
