- Accounts Payable
- Office administration
- IT support
- HR support
- Legal support
Those are what I'm doing everyday in the office - officially.
Unofficially:
- Navigator (when the bankers got lost in a taxi and the taxi driver is clueless of where they should go)
- Messenger (when the bankers need to deliver a "very important document" after office hour and the office boy isn't available)
- Office Lady (when the bankers need to print "presentations" and (again) the office boy isn't available.
And each one of the "official" has another set of description of what I'm actually involved with. And it's definitely not easy. Oh, and even though I'm calling some of them as "support", I'm actually doing 60% of the job.
When the boss is on leave, network's stable, no new hire in the office & no changes in company's structure, I could say that I'm practically not doing anything in the office. Or what I called in Bahasa: "Makan Gaji Buta". Printing, signing & pouching Cheque Requests are at most. Too bad from the almost 2 years I'm working here, that only happened twice. Which means in average, about once a year. And since 2 weeks ago, I've been working on all 6 jobs at the same time.
Tough... but I also learn how to delegate... something that I wasn't good at since I wasn't patient enough to wait for other people to do things that I thought I could do faster (arrogant, eh?). If I don't delegate then none of the jobs will be done. I also learn not to rush things. Experience proved that when you rush things then usually more errors occurs, but when you prioritize and do things one by one, it wil minimize errors & mistakes.
Multitasking is not an easy job, but it teaches me a lot and it makes me more knowledgeable each day. You may hate it and ask for a real job description from your boss... or you could learn to handle it and ask for help when you're overloaded. I love my job! Do you love yours? v(^__^)v
