IBM Journey Begins on 25th July 2005

As highlighted particularly in my previous post of "2005 Flashback", i'd stated that by joining IBM have kick start my early career in a remarkable fashion. When most of the people switch jobs for a better pays or greater prospect, there's no doubt many curiousity would come accross to their mind. For me, there is no different, by joining this MNC firm, especially with less than 5 months of working experience, i know i'm going to have many daunting tasks ahead.

In a high working performance culture in IBM, there is no time for relaxation rather than chasing the deadlines. However, i was lucky to particpate in the migration project whereby i spent 2 weeks in IBM Japan Makuhari Office. The experience i'd learnt in my trip to Japan is invaluable. I can see myself grow to become a better person and increase my working efficiency.

The best things about working in IBM is that i'm dealing with many peoples from different countries such as Japan, Phillipines, Ireland, US and etc. The communication channel is very useful especially seeing people work together from different countries. IBM focus on collaboration and innovation, where many talented individuals work as a team to achieve absolute results.

I remember when i started joining IBM, i was asked to prepare my business goals and how to achieve it. In IBM, your remuneration package is based on your performance, hence, it's crucial to develop plans as an easily attainable goals. During the performance review recently, i'm really satisfy with my performance in the first 6 months and hopefully i'll used the latest performance evaluations as my benchmark for the year 2006. In few more days, i'll spend some times to think about my vision and goals for 2006.

^-^Have a great year of dog everyone^-^
