We now have a new Junior Admin at work. She seems promising. A little more mature and a little more professional. Let’s hope she lasts longer than the other one, whom by the way I have heard lost her other job after being fired at ours, tsk when will she ever learn.
Anyway, New Junior Admin, NJA, has worked a little before in a different industry before wanting to be an admin. She told me that she was working in Queensland, on a beautiful island I might add, before wanting to move to Perth. She said she much prefers Perth than the Island she was working. She also said that she wanted to work in the Mining industry. I was really impressed by how she carries herself and how career oriented she is for a very young age.
Mining seems to be a very “IN” thing at the moment for the younger generation. Everyone wants to work in the Mining industry. I asked NJA if she had tried to look at recruitment agents specialising in the industry like EarthStaff and etc (only because I have a few friends who found jobs fairly quickly with them with the right match of course) and she said she is still thinking about whether she wants that “fly in fly out” lifestyle.
I have to agree with her thinking. Maybe it’s just me. I know a lot of my friends have partners and who are working in the Mining industry that requires you work away from your family for a considerable amount of time and it works for them. But personally for me, I do not know how I can cope. As much as I want to have my own space from time to time, I don’t think I can be away from M for more than 24 hours. I have to admit, I would miss the guy. Also not when THIS might happen to our lifestyle. HEHEHE…
Anyway, I quite like NJA. When I met her the first time, I picked up good vibes from her and usually I am right about picking up good vibes. She seems really keen in her work, taking notes on everything and dressing appropriately. We have even brought her to one of our networking events and she did brilliantly. Not bad for someone who started 3 days ago! She was talking and basically networking with our client’s and etc. I really hope she last. We really need a lot of extra help at the moment.
