A nice mentor

2 or 3 jobs ago, I worked in a bank as an officer, and my jobscope is mainly telephone based where I need to call up customers and update them of their account status.

I was working as a contract staff for a year, and time to time, there are temp staff who join us who are very apprehensive about making calls to the customers, especially when our bank customers are well known to be difficult. Heehee.

I get along perfectly well with these temps because I understand their frustration, and I solve their problems whenever I can.

Just now, one of these temps msn-ed me to tell me that she had just started in a new job and her mentor is very nice.

"first day of work..n my mentor's nice. reminds me of u. so i msg u to say hi"

Isnt that sweet? =)

aww man, so nice! To be honest, I'm still learning to be nice and patient to noobies... effort like this really comes from the heart. Doesn't take a lot, but makes one feel a lot nicer and at ease with themselves.
