    Loved this vlog, really fun to get a peek into your work life. I actually had a minor identity crisis last year because of those exact thoughts like “I’m not doing enough, I’m a failure, What am I doing with my life?” So I’m definitely a big fan of normalising the 9-5! I love your channel for that reason, you’re so relatable and humble and sweet and keep doing what you do because you’re amazing ☺️🙌❤️

I had a job last year at a law firm doing clerical work but quit after three days. Now I'm doing another Clerical job at another place and I'm so nervous cuz this is my second chance and i don't wanna mess it up. If it gets too hard i just have push through can't give up

    Thanks for taking us for a glimpse of your day to day life. One of my jobs is also a receptionist (called "front desk attendant" at the hotel/lodge I work). It's normally a rotated shift that includes weekends, I'm someone who needs her weekends off and I made an agreement that I'll be the best darn employee they ever had as long as I get my weekends unless they absolutely, positively can't get someone to come in for Saturday or Sunday and I'll even work extra hours during the week (for most it's 25-30 hours but I usually work 35-40 hours a week) and we've both held up our end of the bargain. I also stayed after work once voluntarily to help some guests care for their kid who had a pretty bad flu. We even got a five star Yelp review and a shout out to "the sweet and kind young lady in the sunglasses" (I wear sunglasses 24/7, that's the first thing people notice about me). I ended up making the local news for what I did, it was to me just the right thing to do as a human caring for her fellow humans. My other job is a tour guide job I work in the summer (affiliated with the town historical society). I'm blessed to have awesome coworkers and bosses and most of the guests are nice (but occasionally I get some not so nice guests, usually though they're just having a bad day and calm down after venting to a sympathetic ear). And then you get those that are about as much fun to encounter as a calorite from Bowser's Inside Story. Thankfully they're rare.

    This was a really interesting video, you spoke a lot of good sense around not be too influenced by what others are doing and as long as you enjoy what you do, continue doing it. I retired from my job last year, I did enjoy the job but I can say that I don't miss it! I look at it like it was a chapter of my life (a very big chapter!) but a chapter that is now closed and I've moved on and opened a new chapter. My new chapter of retirement gives me so much more time and enables me to do so many things I've never had the time to do. I hope you continue to enjoy your job though I have to say that a working day of 6am - 7pm now just seems unthinkable to me!❤

    Hi Holly, I'm about to start working in a similar environment in the Support Team specifically, and it was nice to have an insight on what this duty involves.
    What's the biggest challenges you've faced at the beginning when you started or even during the work week?
    Thanks

    • @HollyAnnalisa
      @HollyAnnalisa  Před 2 lety +5

      Hi!
      Oh good luck ☺️
      The biggest challenge I faced when starting reception work was probably back when I used to work on the ground floor and anyone could walk into the building and approach the desk, I got some demanding to see the CEO in a really high tone (turned out he was on a black list or something) so that was quite challenging to deal with baring in mind I’d only been there a few months.
      But now working on a client meeting room floor I don’t have as many challenges I’d say.. but one that I would say is if it’s super busy, back to back meetings and a meeting over runs we have to be on it to find an alternative for the next client meeting which can be quite difficult if all meeting rooms are full 😩
