1.the nature of this job varies. not only event management but if u work in high post u'll be some sort of consultants for ur company.

2. every big company or should i say every company actually need public relation department. just tat it's big or small n the duty of this PR pratitioner varies. in a hotel u need one, like cossie said in MAS, SIA even a production house.

3.dun worry, i think now PR still not like IT so pack. but it's on the rise. I'm one of them. still i think da vacancy now is still not full. if u are good u can earn more than 10K a month.

the more planning you put into your work, the more successfully you can complete your project and meet your goals. sitting at the desk for long hours can help you slowly get used to tolerating the research required for a major project.

i think it was abraham lincoln who said, "if i wish to cut a tree down in half-an-hour, i will spend an hour sharpening the axe.".

operation wise, many people gradually dislike having to work from a desk after some time at work. try to avoid this happening to you as those who gradually spend less time at their desk start screwing up their work. there is a difference between a structural engineer who spends 5 hours a day on his calculations vs one who spends 5 hours a week.

for the PR Exec, you are not selling yourself but your company. thus, prepare to sit at your desk for preparing your company's profile and events. also you will be liasing with people from many trades who are partner with your company. knowing them and their history well is a sign you know your work well and respect the partnership.

If you want me to sit at my desk from 9-5 doing research then I am fine with it ... I luv to explore new thgs in every field ... but if you want me to sit there waiting for ppl to tell me what to do, assign me work and having the same routine everyday ... then I really cant stand it ... I will definitely quit even if it's a good pay job ... I prefer exposing to new thgs and challenge everyday ...

i'm sure they prefer you learn on the job, cultivate the attitude of being independent and have your own initiative. also if anything goes wrong, you can be blamed. hahaha... oh well, sucks isn't it?

that's a challenge.

sounds motivated eh ... I will see how will I be doing in the future

all malaysian babes can wan. those who cannot, please go see cavin.

I know my 'dead look' (sei yeung) ... cant sit still. So instead of forcing myself to take up those job that requires me to sit from 9-5 and being unhappy wid it, why not I get a job that suits me. At least even if I encounter any difficulties, I am willing to accept the challenge b/c I like my job ... the point is that I hope to get a job which I really like. not forcing myself to take up that job b/c it's a stable job, good pay etc etc ... I admit, I am selfish. Onli think of myself

you mentioned you're a good boss mah. so you'd make a good motivator. besides, you were also mentioned you're looking for a PA. that could be an opportunity for the girl.

I only think that I'm a good boss...not necessary to be true. Might be different if you are really working under me. Besides, I need a PA, not a CCPR..
