New “House” for My_1st_Path

Hi everyone, we’re glad to announce our new home for My1stPath blog, finally we got our DotCom, isn’t it cool?

Well, definitely we’ve got a long list of people to thank to, here we go…

Thanks to Cheng Soon from GetFound.com.my for his professional consultancy and his effort and time. Mostly he did the migration stuff which none of us know-how. If I’m not mistaken he had to export from WordPress.com manually, article by article… And not to forget the header part! Yea it was me who get the graphic done initially, but without his Firework to add on some effect it won’t be as lively as we have now. Cheng Soon will be helping us a lot in the future in My1stPath, for a kind young man and talented as him in SEO and internet marketing, I’d say we should really keep an eye on him. Oh yes, he is still single and available, you may get his contact from me.

Then MyPath as the mother of My1stPath! Yes, without the support behind, we won’t get most our contributors to come in and contribute, I believe they preferred to remain anonymous here (oops), anyway, this won’t happen without all of you.

And we have our article contributors, An Tien, Antonia, Teresa, PK, SH and Shanie (and many more to come, including YOU!) and last but not least, WordPress.com (haha). Thank you and looking forward for your continuous support for good articles.

Let’s look forward for more articles to come in, and we will keep improving from time to time, so stay with us at My1stPath New Home!

It is not enough to aim, you must hit!

Since the 1^st article, it’s been a month we’ve started this blog, thanks to our friends and article contributors who supported us all the way, and last but not least, thanks to the visitors who dropped by from time to time.

First of all, congratulations to Antonia, it is not easy to secure a job right after graduation, but I believe you deserved it. As I always believe in extra curricular activities, as you mentioned that AIESEC made you different from the rest in the interview. Although everyone has different perception, but by creating point of discussion and being e actively involved in an interview with interesting topics to talk about, this is where you outshine the rest of the candidates in the interview.

Talk about interview, I believe Shanie did a good sharing in her article. I was lucky to sit in for few interview sessions conducted by my boss, I’m not up to the level to read body language but you can really see if the person is not comfortable or nervous, our body can be too honest sometimes. Good to know more about it, it might help you in your next interview session who knows?

I was talking to my friend during a mamak session; about his finding says that CEO is no longer Chief Executive Officer, but “Chief Ethics Officer”. Understand that this may just another bombastic term to attract readers, but somehow it makes sense. From result oriented to experience and attitude, now employers actually look into how honest you are. Anyway, the trend is still focus on attitude. I’m not here to comment about people, but trust me; it’s good to have a correct mindset before you start to hunt for your career.

Totally agree with Teresa, “The bottom line, if you have a giving attitude towards an organization you will be blessed as with the amount you sow, you will reap likewise.” It’s up to you.

I like a quote that An Tien (contributor of Rubik’s Cube) shared in his Friendster, “it’s not enough to aim, you must hit.” What a brilliant sentence. Reminds me of a friend who told me that he won’t start working till he gets a job that pays RM2.5k as a basic for a start, and like many others, they believe that they can somehow get high-paid positions once they have graduated. Good to aim, but do you have what it takes to hit?

As An Tien shared in his introductory article for Rubik’s Cube series, “the rewards which you will receive in this life, material or psychic, will not come to you because of your potential, but rather, because of your performance.”

As a trial month, number of articles posted was not many, but I’d say we managed to cover the basic issues here. From corporate point of view to new comers, we have advised and shared that, we’re on our way to make a difference in people’s lives. Feel free to tell your friends about this blog, and write us some articles if you wish to share and feel free to write us your comments

Finally, let’s greet our beloved country for her 50^th anniversary of nationhood. Enjoy your holiday, we will meet again in September with more good & interesting articles, stay tuned!
