the end of my first internship =(




wah..first entry and its a sad story already..anyway, here I'm at the second to the last day of my stay at China Airlines. It was at first an abrupt decision to change my OJT place but I've given it some time to think.

The result? well, I've always wanted to work for an airline however it was not what I thought it would be. Of course, I'm just new here..what more could i expect?

Overall, I enjoy my stay here because I experienced a lot of work assisting at the Sales Department. Some of my jobs include the ever loved..photocopying and faxing..hehe..but of course its not just that..it was a lot of faxing and photocopying.

Other things I did here was the checking of the booking per flight per passenger. This is an everyday task of 2- 3 flights of MNL- TPE or MNL - KHH. I have to use the office system what they called ECOS and retrieve every passenger's data then check where they book their ticket and if it is one way or round- trip and where their final destination is. After this, we would have to tally it and the data everyday will be recorded into a statistical data for sales development.

Whether they will increase or decrease the fare or if its timely to push a promo...etc..at first I was only assisting in doing this but later on I was trusted to do it all by myself especially when others were to go on a sales call and I will be left here all afternoon...

Another task that was assigned to me was to translate some documents from chinese to english. The documents were about some new plans and new flight adjustment. It will be used as reference for our upper management. I was surprised thou that she ( manager) didn't understand chinese..I thought people here knows chinese..well, at least this is one task that I prove to useful..and only I can do that here in our department..haha.. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/gwen902/IMGP6609.jpg

The most tiring job I experienced here ( aside from staring at the ceiling..) was the tele- marketing..i had to call over a hundred travel agencies saying the same things over and over again..hehe..I was asked to inquire whether they send any recruits to Abu Dhabi and their fax number. ayun.. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/gwen902/IMGP6618.jpg

ayan..one of the best thing here is b-day treats..hehe..

So, why did i decide to leave here? um..its mainly because I grew tired of my idle times. I hate wasting my time doing nothing although I've tried to read..write..draw..and etc..but its not what I wanted. I wanted to do something more than that. I cannot demand thou because they are all busy. .well, the timebomb has exploded..I've given enough time to think about it..I hope my next destination will prove better..:-)
