Jessica Evelyn's ❤: I love my job, am I?

The Devil wears Prada

Previously, I never had a thought to share about my work, what exactly I'm doing. So here I am going to share with you. :)

I work with one of local company based in Seletar. The nature of the company is General Aviation. I never thought how I would end up in aviation industry. But, since I was kid I was influenced by my elder brother whom is an aviation lover. Our dream childhood was he would like to be pilot and I be a stewardess. Those days. Ok, back to topic.

At first I joined, it was so blur, I have zero knowledge, I was just a fresh-grad with some here-nor-there-experience-dunno-what-I-want-in-my-life, but I try to learn what are the aviation terms, learn to speak their language, I learnt by asking my boss, blend into a conversation, reading articles like crazy, etc.

It's really a life time experience to be stuck in this company because I had chance to flew in private aircraft! Something that I never dreamt before! I really thank God for this so much! Everytime I explained to my friend what exactly I'm doing, I can't explain in 3-5 sentence, once they understand what I'm doing they are really surprised and it's really such a unique things!

Ok, so here's what I'm doing, I'm in charge of taking care of the members - club members, we are not just a normal flying club like out there, we are more than that! Event as well, it's still part of the membership itself because this is the main reason I'm hired. Supporting on the admin side as well, I don't really do sales and marketing, I have no passion and interest but I guess I should start to learn all of these.

Here's the interesting part, I provide concierge service to members and public, in terms that concierge service is any service you would like us to do. Like applying landing and overflight permit, ground handling arrangement, fuel arrangement, etc. I do mostly on the ground coordination, however due to limitation of knowledge and experience, I'm unable to suggest on routing, weather etc. Even to give comments for weather, I give with the human language, not pilot language. Need to learn with all of these! I plan my work on the coordination as such that it's save cost, time efficiency, following the schedule and become a fortune teller. When you are flying, all the unexpected things will happen, either it's on the air or on the ground.

At first, it's really hard to do, because I have no experience, but learning it in the hard way, where I was being pushed and pressed (but not crushed), get scolded all the time (until now), it gave me a perspective where I will stick to the job as long as it allows me to grow and I love what I'm doing. It's hard, but I have my own satisfaction when I'm able to do it.

Most of all, I have 2 very nice bosses that I would hardly find out there. They are really helpful, supportive and 1 thing that I really appreciate the most, they never give up on me. They always give me chance for no matter how hard-headed I am, how unplanned and unorganized I am, and so many things!

Thank you bosses and colleagues for the great work together and I really thank God for putting me in this company with great working environment, great people around and I'm beyond blessed. :)

So here's the company logo and our core business :)
