Happy Anniversary....!!!
Yeah!!! It's the start of the 53rd week of my joining the workforce of Malaysia...
and that's not exactly a good thing... Struggling to make ends meet... feeding my car more than i'm feeding myself... and yet, i'm still bulky...
sigh... students, if you're reading this, whatever your lecturers tell you about getting a degree and an RM2,000 salary each month after your degree, that's horse-shit... i've been working for a year now and i'm still quite a mile away from the distance...
Reality check: Take a look at the papers and you'll see that everyone out there is asking for experienced personnel... so the most important question is, where do the inexperienced go to gain their experience??? cheap small time employers that's willing to risk a few clients on your incompetant hand for a cut-throat price of a salary... when you ask for more, then, they tell you that you've got no relevent experience...
The other alternative is, you get yourself into a huge international company and get paid RM2,000 per month, and might as well prepare yourself to sleep, bathe, and eat in your office... so...
Take your pick...

Generally, you'll want to start with a company which have good copywriters (if you're a fresh copywritter) and learn from them. sure, consider the 1st 2-3 years of your life gone. you'll get it back when you're establish.
it's the industry not the company.
Cheif,
That was my intention... but then, i still find myself going into situations where the AE's and CD's complain about my incompetence...
Well, maybe it's better that i learn the ropes the hard way... although i would still like to see how an established copywriter goes by doing his job...
now, all i can rely on is feedback from the AE's...
