A Fruitful Week =D

Yeah! I've learnt something new this week. May not be new to some though. I've learnt how amazing the Microsoft Office is. I was instructed to prepare two sets of letter for 101 workers. I thought I would have to slowly one by one change the name, worker no., date, etc, for each of the workers. But thanks to the Mail Merge tool, I was saved from the trouble. All I have to do is to prepare a spreadsheet which contains all the info that I need to change in the letter and prepare the template for the lettter, then use the Mail Merge tool. I just have to open the word doc. for the letter, go to Tools--->Letter and Mailings--->Mail Mail Merge Wizard. There will be a guide on the right hand side of the document. Just follow it. All the letters that I need to prepare for the 101 workers is done in only a few minutes. So amazing! I've fallen in love with Microsoft Office. =D

I was also taught how to prepare the Payroll Change. Payroll change is a slip stating the change in the pay for the employee. I haven't really master the skills to calculate the Payroll Change but I believe I'll be able to master it soon. =D

I have also learnt how to apply for Work Permit online. It's so easy actually.

Finally, I'm finishing my first set of filing for 206 workers. Now waiting for the employees and the big bosses to signed all the essential documents then the filing will be completed.

My next task is to prepare the contracts for another batch of workers. With the help of the Mail Merge Tool, I believe it will not be a difficult task for me.

After working in the HR department for these two weeks, I have adapted to the working environment there. Although it's quite tiring to travel all the way to Boon Lay every morning, I feel that my time was never wasted working there. Everyday, I would go to work feeling very lethargic but as I commence with my work, gradually, my lethargicness will fade away. I enjoy working there so much that I never did count down when it's nearing my knock-off time. (When I worked at a video retail shop few years ago, I'd always count down cos I can't wait to knock-off. :p) Now, I'm considering whether I should request to stay for another month so that I can pick up more skills. But I also want to look for an admin job in a bank to build up my resume. I shall see if I'm able to find a bank admin job first ba. =D
