Day 0 - Discussion about our job scopes!

Reef Systems is located at 8 @ TradeHub 21! (That cap you see below is Ryan)

The orientation of properties at TradeHub was interesting! The empty space you see in front of the wall is actually the carpark. The entire building is basically a carpark with property spaces behind. How convenient for you to park your car directly at your office's doorstep!

We're greeted by a majestic coral reef aquarium upon opening the door! (Ryan is just staring in awe)

Another beautiful tank! Look at how clear the water is! The office desk is just behind this tank.

Another display tank. Their showroom is filled with aquariums! There was a freshwater planted tank as well (but I didn't take a picture).

Ryan waiting for me...

...cos I was waiting for the train to come! Nice view if not for the window grilles!

Had a 1 hour meeting with Hui Shan today, the Sales & Marketing Manager. I thought it'll be somewhat like an interview, but it turned out to be a discussion for us to know more about our job scopes. She said we'll get to learn everything it takes to run a company like Reef Systems, from their bread-and-butter jobs of maintaining their clients' tanks, to sales & marketing! And if we missed out on anything, its because she doesn't have the time to teach us!

Here's the consolidated list of our job scopes:

  • Maintaining aquariums (water change etc.)
  • Understanding of tank setups & specific systems required for challenging livestock (filter systems etc.)
  • Customer service (giving advice to clients)
  • Research (they're currently working on fish medications)
  • Sales & Marketing (meeting with clients and selling of services/products)

Overall, it seems manageable, though they expect a lot from us! Nevertheless, I think it's gonna be lots of fun despite the tough work ahead!
