It has been 5 hours since we last heard about Job Week (press time). Are you all prepared and all pumped up for this major annual event? There is just so many things to do to prepare for it, yet so little time! 10 days may seem like a long time for many of you, but to understand how short it actually is, ask yourself if you ever whined why the March holidays is just so short.
To help start and get you into shape for Job Week, you should begin by doing the following: 1) Job Week routes Have you done them? If you haven't, you are left with 3 days. Even if you have, do not just stop at the route that you planned. Think about how your route can be improved by asking yourself a few questions: Are you spending too much time on the public/private transport? Is there any way to cut short on traveling time (combing a wider area / finding areas with more HDB flats)? Have you taken the most efficient mode of transport? Did you check if the bus might be faster than the train, or vice versa? What are the chances that your spots may have been taken? (This applies to spots that you might be going in the late afternoon, evening of day 1, as well as the whole of day 2) What is your forte? Are you better at HDB flats or landed property or industrial estates? Have you ensured you chose a spot that have places that you are good at doing Job Week in? Have you consulted your seniors in deciding where you should go? Seniors normally know where the good spots are, and I'm sure they are more than willing to share them with you. Remember, planning routes is very important because it gives you direction and motivation to finish what you planned to do as well. Use your planned route to spur you on and keep you going for the rest of the day.
2) Physical training From today onwards, why not start getting your stamina and endurance up? Job Week is physically demanding because you are constantly on the move. For 11 hours you will be either brisk walking to the next household, or doing a good a thorough job for the household. Although it may seem easy, it will be tiring for most of you. So for a start, do spend some time to run around the field and get used to the extensive use of your legs. I'm sure this will be useful for the soon-to-come SUTC as well.
Do prepare these 2 things for the week and Job Week will be a lot easier for you! More preparation emails will be sent for next week, so do look out for them.
Remember, Job Week is in 10 days!
