multi tasking person - my view

Before, i wrote about about multi tasking person, is it possible? Now, with the same topic, yes it is possible to meet or to be multi tasking person.

 In our daily life, we meet this person, the easiest example is the person that may talk with more than 2 languages. In other case, we meet our friend who is good in math and arts. Most of them are outstanding in the field they get involved.

In school, we learn about the brain function. Left brain and right brain have different function where left brain uses logic while right brain uses feeling. This make us react with which brain that we use frequently. For the person who become multitasking or multi dicipline, normally the frequencies of using left brain and left brain is almost same.

This case is not impossible, but how to make it possible to ourselves. In schools, normally we choose the course with only one specialisation. We are not aiming to proceed with the elective course where it is not related with our specialisation. This perception, perhaps it is good in term of we want to master the major skill. But, it limit us to know other world outside of our field.

Multi tasking person; is it possible?

This is my experience when I wanted to search an internship placement and now, for a better job. The employer’s requirement varies but when interviewing process I notice something; a multitasking employee is currently a main requirement in any field.

In information technology and computer field for example, employer searching the Product Tester that not only know about quality engineering, but also computer programming and business analyst. In other case that I attend, third language ability is preferable than ability only two language or lesser.  Not only that, the advertisement of the vacancy also sometimes fixed such as ‘Admin and Finance Officer’ or ‘Admin cum Customer Service Executive’. From that, it already shown that the employer wanted a staff that can handle both task.

Sure, sometimes I heard the complaint that it is impossible that we can do it. We’re not doing it alone actually, in the team. But, in certain case when the team lack of manpower, multitasking team member is a need. For the company that fixed the multitask employee as advertised, it’s a trial to reduce human resource financial expense. To me, it is good for both sides where employee may ask for a higher salary because we do two-person job. For employer, they still have profit because even they give a higher salary to the particular employee; it is still save compare to hire two employees.

Forget about a career for a while, look it in our daily perspective.  If a person can deal for shop and can speak more than one dialect, is getting more benefit compare to person that can do only one. Before, I was the second type of person. I can find things that I need in the market but when I travel to other city or deal with people that use different dialect, it is not easy to get the lower price or exactly what I need. Now, when I learn even a basic term to make ease in communication, I save more and, it’s enjoyable. 

Mana satu pilihan hati?

Mana satu pilihan hati?

Ketika mencari kerja yang lebih baik, memang kebiasaan majikan bertanyakan kelebihan dan kelulusan kita. Disamping soalan soalan wajib, ada soalan sampingan yang memberi kesan dalam hidup kita.

Soalan sampingan yang kerap saya terima, dalam bentu senario. Paling kerap seperti berikut:

“ Jika diminta kerja lebih masa atau diarah ke luar daerah, apa yang anda akan minta?”

Ketika berkongsi pendapat dengan teman teman lain, banyak jawapan untuk soalan subjektif ini. Ramai yang memberi komen, jika kerja lebih masa, mereka mahukan talian internet walau gaji lebih masa tidak sebanyak mana. Tidak kurang juga yang mahu elaun perjalanan dinaikkan sedikit jika kerja lebih masa. Teman yang meminta elaun perjalanan tambahan ini, menggunakan pengangkutan awam. Teksi selalunya meletakkan tambang mahal sedikit pada waktu malam.

Bagi kes kerja luar daerah, ada yang sedari awal lagi menolak. Ramai juga yang sanggup bersyarat. Syarat yang diberi untuk bakal majikan juga pelbagai. Jika dulu, majikan tetapkan seperti elaun perjalanan, insuran perjalanan dan tempat tinggal. Tetapi sekarang, umpan sebegitu kadangkala tidak ditelan oleh bakal pekerja.

Ketika mendengar jawapan rakan sekerja buat aku terfikir sekejap. Yang mana satu pilihan hati. Gajet terkini dengan talian internet, imbuhan elaun dengan insuran atau mungkin, percutian untuk menggantikan penat bekerja?
