Some people are regarding their jobs as his/her Job only since they don't think it is their career all his/her life, some people would do the job only concerned with his/her career, so what about you? In my current Job, I do have quite some things to learn for my future career (To Set up my own company that deal with international biz). And I would regard this job as my career before I leave this place. Since I do care about its development and its business... 2 years ago, I was nobody but some one who could use English and have not other strong points. Now I could almost deal with all problem related to internaltion customers' POs and PCB EQs. I've also learnt how to manage time, pressure, and people etc. thins here. I have the experience about how to hire a people and train them as well... Anyway, I like this company and hope all of you here in mylot like it as well. Good luck, Andy

Whatever I know and if it is suitable, I can do it. The basic principle remains same in all businesses. Buy at a low rate and sell at a high rate and keep the margin as your money!!!

Right now I only see my job as a job. I work as a PetSmart PetsHotel Nighttime Pet Care Specialist. I love animals, and I love working with them...but I don't think it's what I want to do for the rest of my life. I don't see it as my career. I want to do something with writing. I love to write and I would love to make that my career. I hope to in the future!

Hi Steelman, Thanks for sharing. I am doing a similar job with you. Dull though the int'l trade it might be, it is full of challenging & opportunity as well, that's why I like it as well. I sometimes feel pretty tired talking in the con-call for a couple of hours, I couldn't even stand it, but have to do it... WBR, Andy
