My SIL, has been with her company for almost 2 years already. Prior to that, she did try to apply for a job as one of those Forensic Accountants. But to be a forensic accountant, one has to have a very good eye for details. As I’m sure the folks at Forths Forensic Accountants, are extremely professional and excellent at their job. Well, while she didn’t get hired as a forensic accountant, she managed to start off as a customer service/telemarketer officer. That’s right… she started off as one of those lowly scumbags, where you always want to say “No Speaking English”, whenever she cold-called.
Now, after 2 years, she managed to work her way up in the same company and is now a private banker. She did whinge alot when she started off initially… but I’m sure when she reflects back on the choices she made, I don’t think she’ll regret it. She had to start off somewhere… and no matter where you start off as, one always inevitably gains good work experience.
I mean, when you first graduate from Uni, you think you’re some hot-shot..and think everyone in the industry wants to hire you. It’s a huge wakeup call, when all you get is some scum-of-the-earth job. Unless you’re very very very very good, that’s the reality of it. You just need to stick your foot into the door, wedge it open, wider and wider, and soon your whole body will go through this huge door of opportunity. It just needs time, and work experience.
