My First [Real] Job

I was about to finish my final semester and went back to Alor Setar for a short break before the final exams. While chatting with my parents, my mum asked if I will be able to get a job soon. She looked pretty apprehensive, worried about my future.

I told her not to worry but deep inside, I was freaking out!

I quickly made some calls and start asking friends about their work experience. One thing led to another, and I found myself arranging for interviews.

One of the interviews I went was for Naza Group of Companies. And that’s where my career gets off the ground.


I started working at Naza exactly 2 weeks after my final exam paper. I was pretty confident I would pass the paper and manage to convince the interviewer too.

Thanks to my mum, i manage to secure a job straightaway. If it was not because of her, I'd be wasting time waiting for my result etc.

I remember my first leave application was for my graduation day and my colleagues were like "What? you have not graduated?" lol

Anyway, it was a good experience. Although my role was mainly PR, I was also involved in marketing & events. In due course, my portfolio grew and I was in-charge of assisting the bosses in various exciting projects.

There are just too many experiences working at Naza. I’d like to share it here but I don’t know where to start.

Below are pieces of memories:

We did so many hi-society events and had so much fun rubbing shoulders with the who's who.

But when we have to wear the Blue & Yellow uniform for mass events, we'd rock that too!

With my former bosses, Dato SM Faisal & Datin Emilia Hanafi

~Cheers!
