Yeah…Thats the picture of my family posing for our Hari Raya shoot. (My younger brother took the picture)
These 2 days I have been stuffing myself with ketupat, rendang, lontong and lots and lots of kueh…
Yummm.Yum….Indulgence of sinful activities. 🙁
Okay, for you who have been reading my blog, and yet to know me better. this is your chance
I am Helmi Hakim.
I have 3 younger siblings.
I am the eldest.
Since young I was passionately involved with sales.
I have lots of sales experiences.
After my O’Level I joined a local publishing house, VJ Times International, to promote books written by local authors.
I am sure you do remember the time when ghost story books was popular in Singapore.
Yeah…I was with that company.
I did telemarketing, campaigns, and went to schools seeking permission from their HODs to set up a mini booth in their school tuckshop to sell our books.
I was doing well….
I was rewarded with bubble tea for continuously exceeding the company’s target…hahahah
When I look back, I realise its a worthwhile experience. 🙂
While studying for my Diploma In Accountancy in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I begin to develop a strong interest in business and investments.
I was deeply interested in doing business, that I parternered with an acquaintance to set up our very first online employment agency in Singapore known as GatherHR Pte Ltd.
I had a mentor. Her name is Nooraini Nordin, director of Propnex Ltd.
There were a lot of challenges that we faced.
I personally wrote to the principal of Ngee Ann polytechnic to help fund for our entity.
Together with my partner, we develop our business plan.
Due to my background, I was in charge of the proforma financial statements.
We finally get the fundings and our business goes on with the capital of $3000 funded by the school.
Story aside, our business flopped due to many unforeseen circumstances… (hey I know I am giving excuses 😛 )
Yeah… We were immatured, inexperienced at that point of time.
I finally re-strategise and develop my internetmarketingparadise.com which also flops.
After graduation, I worked as an agent for Efusion Solutions, a marketing company promoting credit cards and loan facilities for ABN AMRO Bank, Citibank, Standard Chartered and others.
I was with ABN AMRO Bank. hahahaahh…
It was a great experience.
I topped the whole company in terms of sales production. 🙂
Looking back at all my achievements, I realise that it’s not really me that is good.
I became good because of the people around me.
My friends, my families, my colleagues, my mentors, everyone plays a part in developing me to whom I am today.
So for those of you reading this blog, who have put your faith with me, I will like to thank you so much and may the law of reward reciprocate for the deeds you have done.
God’s willing 🙂
