About this episode
For the time being, I just got my foot in the door to start making a living. With a raw job, everything has changed. I have to hit the rack by 5 am so I could work on my night shift. I should rack out for at least 8 hours so I won’t doze off at my job. My work shift is from 5 pm to 3:30 am. That’s why I bought some energy shots in case I lose my energy. I’m usually wired after drinking them. I guess I will work my butt off since it will be my first professional experience. I also met the new hires and we rapped about our expectations and experiences. I feel like walking on air. I still can’t believe I’m working for such a reputable company. I’ll definitely get off on working with my team. I believe sticking around experienced people will help me tremendously to stand out and to go beyond expectations. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/support
