近來在填一份job application form時,有這項「200字內描述有什麼你參與過、並很有成就感的事」。不用想我當然是寫在Bahrain出差的經歷了。
簡簡單單的說不上寫得很好,但寥寥數語總結了一些重點,也不妨貼在這裡,當作記錄:-
Last December I had been to Bahrain for work. I was to take several Chinese workers with me for a shop installation. At first I was only supposed to be the translator for the local contractor and my team. However due to the lack of experience of local parties, I had to handle unexpected situations and challenges time after time.
Eventually I had become the project coordinator. I organized work schedule and arrangement, did communications, and fought against any baseless accusations to my company. Fortunately I worked everything out and finished the installation successfully.
Although I had no experience on shop installations, my language skill and my diligent personality allowed me to make contributions. I stayed confident in my ability, and stayed calm to solve unimaginable problems. That was when I further understood my potential and felt achieved.
對。我從沒有裝舖的經驗,更別說是安排和管理;是次行程「裝備」了的,就只有一張能以英語溝通的嘴。最後能完成任務,靠的是認真參與的態度、面對無理指責時絕不退讓的堅持,還有就是冷靜分析形勢後做出決定。
對。都是一些很空泛的東西,都是硬著頭皮一步一步走過去的。我是性格柔弱,亦不醒目;但只要肯做,也可以做得到。
在這個時勢,要找到好工作不容易;留在Exploitation Pit的每一天,其實自信和精神都在下沉。但起碼我要提醒自己,別忘了那次經歷,也別因為每天被欺壓而麻木了意志。
