Account executive

Funny how people name their job positions when what they do is actually nothing related to that. I'm an account executive but I was first informed to be a media sales executive. Either way, I'm happy with my job, blessed with friendly colleagues and nice office environment, I can really see our company growing. The best thing of the job is of course the commision! Well, I haven't done any sales yet, but I'm happy to see how fast I improved. Other than earning good money (if you work hard), we can always met with the Sales/Marketing manager or even the CEO themselves, I'd say this prepare me for my future, if i'm going to start my own business, networking will have to start now!
I'm working in a company called Business Media International, we are publish three magazines altogether, our bestseller SME magazine and the other two, Capital Asia and HR Asia. I'm in a position that ask for more media advertising in our magazines. I love my job.

I've posted this on facebook twice and I want to share this again here.
It's a fabulous talk!

I am hired

Right, I am hired! But that is not the job that I initially wanted. I figure out that good (big?) companies always favour experienced workers rather taking a fresh graduate, cuz they don't have to spend the time and expenses to train them (or probably I just want to comfort myself with this reason :P) I'm disappointed, I've put much effort in to the assignment, but I ended up not being hired by marcus evans. I guess what I need now is more working experience.. Neil called me this morning and asked me how things are going on over here. And I told him what happened, he asked me to reconsider SME magazine and they are thrilled to offer me a job (media sales executive) there. although I don't fancy a sale's job, but still I can expand my network from there..
I've been moodless for these few days, not knowing how the future lead me.. I guess it's normal? Everyone has to go through this at some point of their life.
I've come across this article in Star Newspaper and I think the words are cunningly twisted.
'When the going gets tough, the tough get going'
'If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail'
'the right start is when you start right'
'Do you see the seed in the apple, or the apple in the seed?'
Instead of saying 'GOD, I have a BIG problem',
we have 'Hey problem, I have a BIG GOD'
have a good laugh :)
Good luck with my first day of work tomorrow xxx
