Work Experience Part 2

On the third day, I was 10 minutes late for work, I got stuck in traffic, when a Balinese funeral was happening in front of the WaterBom. Some of the staff were late, too, due to the funeral. I met up with Sayan (manager), he said I would be doing two things today, I would be an Engineer and would be working in the head office doing sales. I was astonished to hear that I would be doing two things in one day. I started off as an engineer and met up with head engineer “Putra”, he was a funny guy to be with. Putra then introduced me to the other engineers. Today until 12 o’clock I would be working with him. Putra gave me a tour of where he goes, we went everywhere. Putra also showed me what he does, like checking the water pumps. WaterBom has a total of 16 water pumps, 12 for the slides in the towers and Lazy river. The other 4 belong to the new rides like Boomerang, SuperBowl and the Climax. Every hour, Putra and I had to check the chlorine levels at each pool, we had to check, if it’s ideal or not. We did that until 12 o’clock, once it was 12 o’clock, we have finished and headed straight for our lunch break.  For Lunch we had Babi guling and lawar, it was delicious. After Lunch I met with the Sales executive “ Pande”, he too was a nice guy.  What we had to do, was to deliver the brochures and flyers to hotels, and travel agencies in Centro and near Kuta. We did this util 3pm, this was a tiring job, too, because you have to go places and negotiate with people. Negotiating can take at least an hour. I didn’t find being a sales executive very exciting.  At 3pm, I ran into Sayan and he said I could go home early today, I was so happy and relieved!

On the 4^th day I woke up late, due to the exhausting day I had yesterday. I had no energy in me, I was hoping  that I wouldn’t do any boring jobs at work experience. Amazingly my hopes were heard, and got me a job that I have been waiting for. The job that I was doing today, was Marketing and Graphic Design! I met the head leader of the marketing team, her name was Rani. She is really funny and full of energy! She then introduced me to marketing, she explained the jobs I had to do. The main job that I had to do, was to make sure that all of the WaterBom website is up to date. The other task that I had to do, was to make sure that I replied to the WaterBom fans on Facebook and Twitter. WaterBom has over 1000 fans on Facebook and Twitter, and it was my job to reply to them.  At 1pm was my lunch break, I had lunch with the graphic design team, they too are really fun to hang out with. After lunch I got a surprise from Mr. Mark! I had no idea that he would come to WaterBom! I explained what I did the past few days and gave him a tour at the office.  After Mark left, I went to the Graphic Design team. Their names were Ari and Made, they showed me what they do. I helped them by putting all of their work on Facebook, Twitter and the WaterBom website! I left work around 4.30pm and this too was another great day!
