Job Satisfaction

I could'nt wait till Saturday to post this, because firstly...YES!!! I got a job!!! I'm no longer one of the 350 000 losers who are unemployed.

What job is it?
Ans: My position is PR consultant, I help my boss out with integrated marketing and PR strategies at WS Consultancy.

Who are the people there?
Ans: Not much, just my boss, MD, creative director and 3 other FEMALE PROs'

When did you get the job? and When do you work?
Ans: Just today!!! (the Americans celebrated my employment by bombing IRAQI forces at 10.35am Singapore time today) I went for the interview, landed the job and "POOF"!!! there I was thinking up a new proposal plan for a construction company's tender for building Singapore's 3rd International Airport Terminal. (How's that for a first assignment?)

Office Hours? what office hours? I start from 10.30am to...no time limit, oh yea...it's a 7 day work week,meeting clients, drawing proposals. We PR types never rest easy.

Where is your office?
Ans: 16 Shenton Way, yes we own the whole damned building. My office is on the 2nd floor with all the other consultants. And for the first time in all my years of working, I've been given internet access on my desktop, not just internet mind you...its BROADBAND!!! a really swanky chair and stylish table plus a brand new Hitachi Laptop round off my incredibly cosy cubicle. Ahhh...the joys of cubicle life, once only read in Dilbert now I'm living in it!!!

Why did you become a PR consultant?
Ans: Well I really wanted to bridge the gap between corporations and their clients, oganisations are now just employing fresh poly grads who know nuts about PR. And what we consumers get? "Half-baked crap!!!" commonly known as advertising. So I decided to enter the PR industry and hopefully weed out those pathetic excuses of a PR intergrated marketing plan. Injecting my own ideas and knowledge into the dying market in hopes of rejuvenating it. At the same time creating a society that is better equipped to guage MNCs on their merits and not their unbelieveable offers slapped loudly onto the media nowadays. WHAT??? you think I do it to meet the "chicks"? *Sniggers...*

How the HELL did you get a job like that? Can I be one too?
Ans: Through a recommendation from my lecturer. Dream on you mere mortals, only way your ever coming close to this sector is if you were reincarnated as a woman. *Evil Grin*
