First day in HP

Today is my first day in Hewlett-Packard. Basically is on administration works. 2 hours of induction course in the morning. The very first impression is that everything is so “E” (Electronic). Every administration work, including selecting the bank to debit our monthly salary, electronic pay slip and a lot more, have to do so via HP portal. All the information is just stored in the portal. Of course this is very true since it is an IT company.
Sook Han, my direct supervisor buy our team a lunch at The Curve. All of us have a pleasant lunch and nice chat among us. I spend my afternoon setting up my computer, find ways to format it. As I said, everything in HP is very “E” and very “DIY”. However, I have other colleague to help me out if I need their help.

Later in the afternoon, Sook Han personally introduce the group structure and my job scope, as well as the expectation she had on me. There is a lot of information that I need to cope in this coming 2 weeks. I need to set goals and objectives for myself. Most importantly, Sook Han wants me to get a Professional Certificate in Project Management so that I can have a better foundation and it will help me to move up. I will probably start doing that course after my 6 months probation period. I don’t mind doing it at all. As I really wish I can perform myself and culture my interest in this area.

I went to a movie after work. Ratatoiulle. It is a very cute animation movie. If you have seen it, yes, for sure I like the story line a lot. As it is dealing with food. Remember during the weekend, my brother asked me whether I have seen that movie. He urged me to watch it. This is a line that I remembered, “Everyone can cook, but fearless makes the great”. It is really true not only that it applies to cooking, it do apply to everything.
