1 April marks my first year in ICS. It's a blessed journey.
There are some ups and downs, challenges and successes, happy and sad moments but one thing for sure that God walks with me all the time.
Flashback how I ended up here. Truth to be told, it's all by God's grace and providence. One year ago, I have planned to be a professional personal trainer and within 2 months, I already had 6 trainees. It seemed that everything was on track according to my plan, until one day I received fwd message that there's a company looking for office manager who could speak Bahasa and able to travel back and forth to Jakarta to manage two offices.
At that time, I didn't really plan to look for a full time job since I was really happy with my life, but God has different plan and His plan was always better than mine.
Long short story, I had an interview and within 2 weeks, I was accepted. I started my new journey as a working mom on 1st April, just few days away from Circuit Breaker due to Covid-19.
Since the beginning, I was working from home until now thus the transition period was smooth sailing. I am still able to exercise in the morning, do my work in the late morning until afternoon and had quality time with my children in the late afternoon until evening.
Working Environment
The working environment is good, as the company is a start up, there's no hard rules like corporate life. Everyone chips in and those senior management are down to earth and very responsive. They listen to the team. We are like a family instead of employer and employee relationship.
The job and roles
I am super happy because the job and roles are matching with my talents and experiences. Managing office is like managing household which I have been trained more than 10 years. My talents to organize event, design and support make my job becomes a part of my life.
My achievements
1. Booster Care Package
This was my first project that I did during Covid Circuit Breaker. It's my first challenge as most company stopped production during Covid-19, however I managed to create first hamper and send it to the staff.
2. Finding a new office
This was my second project that I did during Circuit breaker and Phase 1. It was challenging as some landlord limit the face to face visitation due to Government rules and regulation and the company had limited budget too. I visited more than 30 office units and met 5 different agents until we got one office which was according to our budget and expectations.
3. Christmas hamper
This was my third project to create a nice Christmas hamper for the team and bought a jacket from Patagonia, US was another challenge. Due to covid, they had a challenge in producing the jacket thus there's a delay. In the end, it's a happy ending, everyone received the Christmas hamper and jackets.
4. Website New Gen
As the company grown, we wanted to update our website to look more professional. I engaged an agency however it didn't turn up well. We engaged another web designer and it turned out much more better.
5. Team Bonding
Organizing event is my forte, thus I'm so happy that I have an opportunity to organize team bonding activity for my team mates.
As long as I am here, I will do my best to do what God wants me to do and seeing the company blooming and successful is the proof that God blesses and always walk with us.
