ACD

i wonder why people dreaded so much about their ACD assessment. i mean, the purpose of the baseline assessment is for us to know where we are right now. i mean, for someone who has been in the industry for like 3 years ++, you should be able to answer some questions comfortably kan?

not!

not if you spent your precious 3 years in that same old department, doing the same shit over and over again. especially if you're at the HQ. i mean, performance wise, you might be seen as competent. but knowledge wise?

yo, kalau u have been doing the same thing for past 5 years, kalo tak excellent jugak, tak tau la kot. samada ko bodoh atau malas. i chose item no.1.

luckily for me, although PPA wise is not that menyakinkan, in the span of 2 years ++, i've covered 3 areas in my roles as a HR practitioners.

and if all goes as plan, upon my 3rd year, i'll be given a new responsibility.

so, i had my ACD assessment yesterday. before that, weeks before the assessment date, i asked my boss, "Boss, agak2 kalau dtg berlenggang boleh tak?"..he replied, "ko ni..bwk la dokumen ke bahan bacaan sikit. tunjuk depa hang ada some effort"

so, the day before the assessment, felt that i needed a half-day session to recap what i've gained throughout my colourful 2 years of experience. instead, i had to attend an audit discussion with my boss throughout the evening. OK, fine. i'll do that after office hour. But then, when the clock ticked 4.00pm, i realised that i wanted to watch Setem. then off me go to the cinema.

Came back home, decided that i should start studying. Sat in the living hall, turned on the TV, and sub-consciously inserted The Matrix DVD.

and i spent the night watching The Matrix, Matrix: Reloaded and surfing the net simultaneously.

owh, we just activated our internet access at home.

there goes my hope to study for the assessment.

next morning, came early to the office, skimmed through the manuals, and had a good breakfast.

went through the assessment, and the assessors feedbacks were encouraging. i validated my self-assessment on my gaps, and i will need to chart my career in order to close the gaps.

later today, before the assessors left the building, one of them came to me and asked, "dah berapa lama kau di E1?" i replied, "nak masuk 3 tahun dah".. he said, "OK la tu. Boleh progress dah".

Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah.
