FIRST WEEK IN CORPORATE WORLD


Montle Modisawamarole
LUCT (Malaysia)

Hello everyone its  Montle here. I did my practicals in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). It is a government owned university which was established in 1931. Actually I was under the office of Marketing and Communication which I can say is the umbrella of image building of this university. Here is the link to have a look of what it is all about,http://www.upm.edu.my/?kat=D&aktvt= .

During the first day  I was afraid of doing something wrong as it was the first  time experience for me especially working with the locals where everything is different looking at  the fact that it is  a government school  where dressing code is a necessity.
The most interesting thing about the Office of Marketing and Communication is that I was the first international practical student to work with them . I came to the office well dressed and I was briefed on what to wear and what not to wear, I can tell you within g that week I bought the local attire Baju kurung to feel as part of the staff and have sense of belonging in the office.

Media monitoring was done and put in clippings from there distributed to designate offices such as the Director and Head of Division. These clippings were distributed from 9-10am so I learned to be time cautious in my first week. 

Till next time 
Cheers!!

Being time cautious is one of the most important aspect in communication at large. With that only one can determined what the results are going to be and predict potential problems that can arise in a given situation because they will have more time to plan.
