My new JOB@Checkpoint

I have been Checkpoint since 1st Nov 2008. Till date, almost a month. My personal experience is that people is friendly and there is explicit protocol need to follow. The obvious ones is to wearing long sleeves and tie for any customer's meetings; and not forgotten the suite for stage performance. Wow, a total informal culture in ex-company. However, there are alot of implicit "protocol" that need to be observed dealing with ex-company's management! Hence, I may look formal, but actually, I am more relax in dealing with peers and the management team.

So far, the pace is fast with alot of catch up with the products are necessary. Moreover, I also requested to pass my certification as well. Really hope to achieve it by Jan 2009 (looking at my overseas trip and the need to prepare the rest of the solution slides and POC, it seemed that I have lesser time for the preparation for the certification and for the family)

Time is flying @Checkpoint, but very fulfilling as there is new challenges and that keep my adrenaline high! Focus (with alot of listening & learning) will the key for my success.

I do hope that I can travel with my wife for our holiday as we have not been able to holidaying for the past 2 years. I think that next year, despite of the anticipated downturn, I can get a time off with my wife for at least a short trip (maybe Bali, Taiwan..... wow, I do have a long list of countries to visit...haha)
