So far I had 3 different jobs, but every of them taught me a lot and had at least one thing in common.
Usually First day at a new job is not a working day, it’s a learning day. You have to be patient and realize that “you will learn everything needed for your work, just a few more days, dear”.
My first day at my first job was exciting, because I knew all of my co-workers, they were young, full of life, I loved them very much.
I was a project coordinator. At first I had no idea what I have to do, what I am responsible for. But after a week I was telling/advising/teaching my CEO and co-workers what to do and how to do it. I am a type of a person who is researching and discovering ways to do the work easily, organized and smart. Project management, time management are very important to me. My last day on that job was way too sad for me. People from the office were family to me. We spent the most happy and hard days together. First we were friends, then co-workers and that’s why our work succeeded - we loved each other, respected each other. In conclusion my biggest achievements were my friends and the skills I got/improved during the job. Also I met new people who became my friends after all. In those 5 months I grew up a lot.
I quitted my job because I was leaving for the US, although I continued working remotely for 4 months.
My second job was at an Accounting Office. But can you imagine, Lusine, who loves and enjoys working was afraid and didn’t want to go to work, but I knew it would be good for me. I went to meet my new CEO. In the office we were only 2, me and her. My working days were way too interesting for me. I went earlier before my hours would start, and left later after my hours ended. I learnt a lot from my CEO, she taught me things I will need while living in the US. The tax season was over and I had nothing to do there. She did love me back and it was too hard for me to leave her. She didn’t want me to leave, but I was searching for something that would keep me busy all the time. I promised her to come back when the Tax Season starts again, but I shouldn't give promises anymore.
My third job is another story.
I wanted to get some rest before going to another job, but they needed me immediately and I couldn’t enjoy my non-working days.
My third job was at a Home Care. A Home Care office is something that provides old men and women care at home. We send nurses to patients’ homes and patients receive the treatment they need. I was responsible for patients’ charts by checking every single page of the chart. I had no idea how to do that, what’s right, what’s wrong. Only one time my CEO came and taught me, then I explored how to do the job by myself.
In fact I love my CEO, she is like my friend not my boss. But she is way too busy and we don’t see her for weeks. In the office there are two women with me. They are both over 40 years old, but I don’t feel like a child around them. They became my friends also.
As you can see, everyone's my friend. Just kidding. I am very strict about that, I cannot call everyone my friend.
I have been working in this home care for 5 months. But my mission here is completed. Now I am searching for new adventures. And again it will be sad for me to leave my third job. Every time I say I shouldn’t be vulnerable to the people I work with, but I fail every time. Although I hope my next experiences will be as good as the previous ones.
As far as I can tell one must have knowledge, experience in everything, and be full of energy. You can learn so many things by working, it doesn't matter where. But the number one rule of learning is loving what you do.
I am really grateful to all my CEOs, my friends, my co-workers, “my clients”.
My CEOs gave me opportunities to work, to learn, and to make new friends, to feel independent, to grow and feel the differences between my before and after. And I am very happy I invested my intellect, all my strength and energy, that I could help them grow their business.
But there is one important thing. As much as I love all my CEOs, I don’t want to be a worker of theirs, I want to be my own CEO.
I want to wish all of you good luck.
Gain experience as much as you can, but love what you do.
With all respect,
Lusine Aleksanyan.
