(Week 1) Sunday 06-02-2011
My teachers and classmate told me I should be at least 15 minutes before the time and the first expression also very important so I arrived at 8:30, I went to meet my adviser there called zwayna she is from SB Academy than she send me to girl called Heba. I was nervous as any new employee coming to a new work place but when Heba spooked to me I felt like I am with my teachers who’s always supporting me and advise me in my first step in every project or assignment . I was very excited about my new work with new people in new environment.
My self and Heba were waiting for my classmate khadeja after that we went to Credit department where I’ll have my internship there. First person who welcomed me called Ms. Meeta head policy- personal and Auto loan product.
I was waiting for my supervisor Mr. Faraz Khalid head policy- mortgages, till 10:30 which gave me a bad idea about him that he’s not on time. I asked Ms. Meeta to have overview about my department especially about mortgages, so she introduce me to Mr. Anu Varghese Real estate Technical Surveillance Officer, he was very fast person and he immediately gave me brief summery about the mortgage because it wasn’t his job and then he introduce their new project to me. I was shocked, nervous and happy that they trust me and trust my ability, so this project was my first challenge in SCB.
Finally, I saw my supervisor Mr. Faraz Khalid he spoke to me for a while and told me about this position and my challenge as being part of the project. To be continued…

My second day was the most trouble day in my whole week because Mr. Faraz gave me the Consumer Banking Credit Policy (CBCP), it was around 85 pages!!. I spent my day reading the policy without understanding any single word. I tried to ask but every time I was looking around me to ask someone I couldn’t because all of them were busy on their work.

Again, I start reading about the policy and after 3 minutes I stopped, felt like I want to cry because it was very difficult and hard to understand most of words. I was disappointed, so I went directly went to Ms. Zwayna and asked her to change my department; I told her that I can’t stay in this environment. She was listening to me and I am just talking and talking without break, but when I stopped she challenge me and told me I know you can do it and I trust you. She also told me to give myself one more chance, I did as she told me to do and went to Mr. Faraz to change the CBCP and I asked him to give me the mortgage policy, after that I went through the policy document it was clear and easy to understand, moreover, I was asking about things which make me confuse. EOD I changed my mind about changing my department I decided to stay and tell everyone about who I am and what my abilities are. Finally, in my third learned that if I want to understand and improve my skills in this area or any area I have to ask as much as I can.

Last day in my week one in SCB, now I know almost half of the Credit department employees which is good thing. Moving to working part I got my first assignment which was Dubai & Abu Dhabi property profiling. Basically, it’s about knowing where the most financed areas in both cities are and what the total outstanding of these financed projects is. My second assignment was to write a summery about the trends in financed areas which I have to submit it on Sunday.
