Multi-tasking is a Talent


When I was in college: I was juggling my academics (being a nerd), my participation in the Dance Troupe of my school, participating actively in the Student Council , had a part time job and most important of all – I had a social life.

I think I did the impossible.

When I graduated, the company where I was currently working offered me a full time managerial position. I couldn’t say no since this can be a huge leap to climb up that career ladder.

I was doing Recruitment, Admin Tasks, Marketing and I would find myself also in operations during weekend. To top it all I was EMILY in Devil Wears Prada. Yup I would wash the apples of my Managing Director.

I wonder how I survived. We all have our limitations – I resigned after a year.


I finally made a shift in my career – from retail I wanted to explore PR and Events. The most toxic job you could ever think of.

After being an Account Executive for 2 years, I was offered a position in the PR Department. I couldn’t say no –I’ve always wanted to do it anyway. Now that I’ve been a Media Relations Officer for a year and guess what – I do a little of everything – client management, media management, a little PR writing, booking of talents, and additional admin tasks.

Multi-tasking is a talent but it’s get tiring too.

So is this a curse or a blessing I’ll have to carry for the rest of my life?
