🔎第二階段: 怎麼找公司
🔺part 1: 了解自己的專業能力及清楚自己的定位
找公司容易,但怎麼找到一家適合自己的公司,或是能發揮自己所長的公司才是真正所需要探討的。每間公司都有各自的公司文化及專業範圍,很多人在工作一段時間後,總會怨懟公司待遇低、案子不有趣、公司環境差等基本外在因素,然而這些抱怨早在選公司/找公司時,就決定了這個可能性的心理壓力。唯有清楚了解自己的長處、未來想要怎樣的環境,才能讓自己處在相對舒適的空間。
1⃣ 找一個喜歡的城市/鄉村學習跟生活。
記得我找公司時,鍵入的搜尋關鍵字是: 景觀設計公司 + 地區。在這前一篇的搜尋是:英國 特色城市。 找公司,除了看公司性質,我也會看環境,在面試的時候順便感受公司所在的城市。 現在想起這樣的設定真的非常正確,因為我享受且滿足現在的生活。環境造人,工作環境佔據 了我一天1/3的時間,坐在望出去遼闊景觀的窗戶旁,總比處在冰冷水泥塊中,自在很多。
2⃣ 坦白的面對自己的能力範圍,放大自己的長處。
很多人說: 找公司、投工作,就海投! 到處散播一樣的作品集及一模一樣的信件內容,100家,總會有10家⋯⋯對,也不對。了解自己的專業能力及清楚自己的定位,才是說服公司錄取你的關鍵。幾個朋友在反省找工作的經驗,最終去的那間公司,總會最快回覆你前來面試,最短的時間內決定是否錄取,因為你的知識範圍最符合公司需求,而不單只是可以畫出漂亮的圖,容易被取代的 / 技術上的能力。景觀的專業範圍很大,如果知道自己未來的發展希望往水資源管理的方向,那海投公司的範圍就會縮小剩20家,自己的勝率也更大,奮戰時間也會縮短。相對的,在未來職涯,唯獨能發揮自己所長,才能帶來成就感。
知己知彼的策略,了解自己的專業能力及清楚自己的定位,不單縮短找工作的時間,甚至減少 未來所會面臨的工作壓力。

🔎Stage 2: Finding a company to apply
🔺Part 1 - Understanding your niche and abilities
Finding a company is easy, but finding one which suits you, where you can play to your strengths is challenging. Office culture, design ethos, scope of works, business management and employee growth plans are one of the many factors that you should consider. It is often the case that individuals will start criticizing the company’s employee treatment, pay check, lack of interesting projects, poor office environment after working for a period of time. However, these “complaints” could have been avoided if a company which best fitted to your expectations and interest was chosen instead.
Hence, understand what you want, be clear of your strengths and abilities, both your short and long term career goals and what kind of environment you would thrive in. This would be the best approach to find a job which can offer you a fun and comfortable working environment where you can grow too.
1⃣ Choosing a city/ town which you like to live and work in.
Each city has its own unique culture and appeal, with infinite options and endless
considerations, narrowing down your choice can be a nightmare.
Recalling back to the time when I was looking for a job, typing in these keywords into the search bar: “landscape design firms + region” and “UK cities” kick-started my journey of working abroad.
Other than understanding the nature of the company, I also considered aspects such as the physical environment – the city where the company was located, population density, transportation and weather. When travelling down for an interview, experiencing the city’s character, culture and vibe in person also helped expedite the decision making process.
This guiding process allowed me to quickly settle in, enjoy and be satisfied with my current lifestyle and working arrangements.
The environment makes us who we are, with 1/3 of your time being occupied with work, it is really important to have a comfortable working environment – For me, sitting by the window, looking out towards the vast green landscape would definitely be much better than sitting within the compounds of a concrete working cubicle.
2⃣ Be honest about your capabilities, Magnify your strengths.
Most fresh graduates would often use the same portfolio and CV content to mass apply to companies, hoping to land a job in one of their several attempts. However, this one size fit all approach to seek employment might not be the best and most effective.
Finding your niche will help you stand out from the rest of the crowd. That being said, understanding your professional ability and what you can contribute to the company is key to persuade the company to employ you. A few of my peers shared their experience for getting employed – An interested company would normally respond and arrange for an interview at the soonest. Their hiring decision made within a short time frame because they believe that your thinking, knowledge, expertise and skills best meets the needs of the company and are not easily replaceable by technology means.
The scope of works for the landscape profession is very large. It would definitely help reduce the amount of time and companies you need to filter through, increase your chances of getting employed if you can be certain of a career path you wish to dive further into. For example, water resource management, wildlife consultancy, landscape journalism, construction etc. In view of future career prospects, only by playing to your strength, can you find a sense of achievement.
The strategy of knowing yourself and your market, understanding your abilities and niche not only shortens the time spent to find a job, but also reduces the work pressure you will face in the future.

美不一定實用
There are many schools of thoughts when it comes to Feng Shui.
Different practitioners use different methods to get a Feng Shui audit done
Whose methodology works best?
The one that brings you the results your little heart desires.
Let me share with you how I work.
When I'm at your place for a Feng Shui audit, you have to give me at least 2 hours.
For I am going to poke my nose into almost every single space in your lovely home.
I audit every.single.room, even the place where you do your business.
I have heard from clients that some Feng Shui Masters they engaged say interior design doesn't matter, so they do not check every room and only spent half the time I did.
The commando way I have been trained, every living compartment in the home matters.
Having an audit done by me is almost like attending a mini Feng Shui workshop.
So make sure both you and your spouse are present, with both taking notes down. More often than not, one party would overlook certain pointers as he/she gets too engrossed in what I am rattling.
You spend good money to get me in, don't waste it.
I explain to you how your home Feng Shui cause you and your family certain problems.
I give you time to whine and grumble about your life.
I sometimes play a mediator between quarrelsome couples.
I hear you out on your parenting difficulties or those headaches you have with your maid(s)... or in-laws. 😏
Along the way, I tell you what and where you did wrong.
Most importantly, I give you the solutions, enhancements and remedies.
In areas where most people lose their hair over like...
* Marriage stability
* Career progress
* Children
* Education
* Wealth accumulation
* Health
* Family Harmony
* Sleep quality
(I don't peddle auspicious ornaments by the way.)
Most of you would be familiar with those areas above but there are more.
E.g why does your child always wake up screaming in the middle of the night?
How do you know if your Husband harbour lusty intentions towards another woman e.g. domestic helper or someone in his workplace?
Why do you always get pains in your body for no reason?
Why can't you and your spouse agree on anything?
How can you get your children to be more focused in learning and be easier to care for?
What can you do to plug the wealth leaking away from your home?
Why can't you secure a single interview, despite sending a hundred resumes?
Why are you in so much business debts?
Why do you not get the credit and recognition you deserve?
Why do you always feel lost in life?
Etc...
Some people tell me they don't want to get a Feng Shui audit done because they want to be free and not be restricted by some "old superstitious stuff".
Ostrich syndrome. The worst lie is when you lie to yourself that everything is okay and deny yourself of further progress.
Just because we can't see UV rays with our naked eyes does not mean they do not exist.
A smart man will go understand the modus operandi of UV rays and work his way around it. Not dumb dumbly go expose himself to UV rays only to be stricken with skin cancer later.
You will surprised at many misconceptions people have about Chinese Metaphysics, despite being highly educated and holding managerial positions. #ignoranceblinds #discriminationkills
For me, getting a Feng Shui audit done is not the most difficult part.
Communicating to the client is.
It is not always easy to be the one dashing their dreams and visions, when those hopes clash with Feng Shui principles.
Most people don't like to hear bad things about their home.
👉 Even if they know it does not have good Feng Shui.
Sometimes clients have exhausted $XXXXX on their renovations and they dread hearing my conclusion that they have done it all wrong in the first place.
Honey, remember this. I will always give a solution and an explanation.
.
Question #1:
If I have gotten a Feng Shui Master to select my property from floor plans, is it guaranteed to have good Feng Shui?
My answer:
No. There's a chance it won't. An onsite audit is the most accurate. For the directions, landforms, views, air quality, light and environmental sound are factors that we can't determine from a paper floor plan.
Think of it like a dating agency. Just because the dating agency pairs you up with someone of your chosen traits, good education, five-figure income, great looks etc doesn't ensure 100% compatibility right?
But something is still better than nothing. Some layouts are taboo. A layman wouldn't know what to look out for and assesses it merely by his/her limited logic.
So getting the layout right is still a crucial part of this Feng Shui jigsaw puzzle.
.
Question #2:
So now what? I'm stuck with a property the Feng Shui Master chosen from the floor plan and now another Feng Shui master say it's not good. #dielah #alldiefor5years
My answer:
Don't get pessimistic. Before you start on your renovations, get a Feng Shui Master that you trust and has a proven track record to mend things from the inside.
If the layout is good, there are still many ways to effect the positive change you want.
If the unit is really undesirable, it may not give you 100%. But a resourceful Feng Shui Master can still raise the bar to perhaps 65-80%, depending on the condition of the Feng Shui.
Not all is lost. If you really have to sell it after 5 years, you may still profit and upgrade next time. So don't get all gloomy over bricks and mortar. It's just a house. You don't have to die inside it. Don't get all drama.
.
Question #3:
I want an open-concept kitchen. It's hip. I also want to tear down the walls of a room so that it can function as my walk-in wardrobe in my master bedroom. My MBR is too cramped. Do I still need Feng Shui advice for this?
My answer:
ABSOLUTELY! Not every Bazi can withstand an open-concept kitchen. Not every marriage can endure the wall-less concept.
Our homes play a pivotal role in transforming our destiny. What is vogue and pretty can do you more harm than good in your marriage and personal luck.
Don't be like that old Uncle who just withdraws his CPF monies and falls for a young pretty China lass. Looks can rob.
I understand that compulsive urge to do up your home the way you have always dreamt of.
But if you have already decided to engage me, that marks your first baby step to turning things around for yourself and your family.
So don't succumb to your fate that easily.
Listen very well to what I have to tell you.
This giant red packet marks the 4th angpow I received within a week that has the word 福 on it.
It's a sign that I'm here to bestow fortune upon you and your family, not to ruin it.
