DoNNyC - 2005 Flashback

What a remarkable year it was, a year of joy and achievement"

That sum up my thought for 2005. It was a fantastic year indeed. First milestone to kick-start my career is to graduate from RMIT University with an Accounting Degree. With the degree in hand, the next challenging task is to find my first job, obviously the one with good prospect. So, let's begin the journey...

Once i started mailing my resume to my prospective employers, which i started with Big 4 (PWC, EY, KPMG and Deloitte), to my surprise, i got call up for all the interviews beside EY. It was a tantalizing experience with my first 2 interviews in PWC and KPMG. With no experience and full of curiousity of the corporate world, i must admit i was make to answer many questions that is not related to my studies and it's pretty complicated it was. Anyway, those are history for me now and i got my confident back once a medium commercial firm hired me as an Internal Audit Executive.

Well, although joining the big 4 audit firms are every accountants' dream, but not for me. It seems that i found the commercial line is more interesting and i forsee many greater opportunities in front of my eyes. I entered into a leading optical company in Malaysia. The working hour is very flexible as my job is more on routine audits by travel to their branches and frachise outlets. However, i was not so convince about their system and working mindsets. Meanwhile, by putting work aside, i met a lots of great people which are entertaining since i entered into the industry. We have many enjoying moment where we spent time in many places such as clubbing places, road trip and etc. It was marvelous and joy to the max.

However, when all the joy and laughter session begin with my colleagues in the company, i received few calls from the head hunters asking me to apply for the vacant jobs in their company. Without any hesitation, i came for the interview after seeking some advise from my colleagues. It was for a job in the Japanese Accounting Team, first of all, i need to sit for a aptitute test where only those who passed can have their first interview with the manager. I'm glad that i'd passed and i got through the first interview, the second interview session went pretty smooth really, it came to me to the surprise where they make an offer instantly after the interview session. This indeed, it begin a remarkable journey ahead...
