Moving to a new job is never easy. There are always new
colleagues to know and get use to. Routines to be rearranged. A
totally new work culture that you needs to readjust to.
That was what I faced 6 months ago when I took up a
position in Vision. I been in a few of organizations, big and
small, and always it is wise to survey the landscape, understand
the politics of the land and know who were the little emperors
and kingmakers.
Surprisingly that was easy in Vision. The politics was
easy because there were none. The organisation was very flat and
everyone moved with a purpose. That made adjustment very easy.
We had a great product which was ultrasound and it was my
job to get the word out. Together with my team, we set out to do
a series of roadshows in schools to promote the career
opportunities of a sonographer.Most of the time, we were greeted with a great deal of
curiosity. Students were used to the usual professions in a
hospital like doctors and nurses. Many have never heard of a
sonographer or seen an ultrasound machine.
Give explanation to the students
But after our fellow sonographers colleagues, Narmatha
and 'Aisyah, got the crowd warmed up, the students were all
smiles.
'Aisyah doing scanning
Most couldn't wait to get their first chance to be scanned and
see the insides of their bodies for the first time. It has been a fun six months and I bet it will get
better.
