Delli



Hi my name is Delli Malau,I come from Indonesia. Before I came to Australia I was working as a cook for 2 years in hotel.After that, I decided to changed my job because I want to do something different from cooking.I applied for a new job which a little bit far from where I used to work.In my new job I was doing as managerial staff officer for 5 years in cottages.I was so happy because I can I mprove my English and get more experience,work with good team work. I used to work from morning until evening everyday without told what I need to do.I have had excellent experience in all aspects of the preparation of Asian cuisine,excellent customer service,extensive experience in the tourism and ability to relate to people from different countries and cultures.I am a self motivated individual,reliable and can capably work unsupervised .I am hard working,honest and enjoy working as a part of a team to achieve goals.I have a good attitude and I am able to quickly to pick up new skills on the job.

In March 2009 I decided to move to Bali because there were more opportunities, more experiences and more friends. In Bali I used to work with different people who came from different ethnic groups .We worked as a team, we treated each other as a family,had fun together, it was great time and full of happiness with them.In Bali I used to work as a Assistant Manager for 2 years in Australian restaurant with Australian boss. I finished my education in 2001 as an accountant ,related to my education I was supposed to get job as an accountant.To get a job as an accountant was really hard for me because I needed to move to another state in Indonesia.

The reason why I came to Tasmania because I married an Australian.Now I am currently employed as a cook at Darjoh's Restaurant .I am happy work with Australian team work.Soon I will start my work experience in Aged care in Barrington Lodge on Tuesday October 18th.I am interested in this course because I want to improve my English by talking face to face with native English speakers.Also I want to know how elderly people live in their society, what activities they do during the day,and I want to get more experience about them.I think the first important things I need to follow the instructions,watch team work how they did their job,listen carefully,ask many questions related to my work experience and always repeat them to make sure I understand.

I am going to help the resident by showering them,talking,making breakfast and we might play some games.I should ask questions after I did something,take notes to help my memory and write some new vocabulary.I should on time in my work experience and dress tidy and neat.I mustn't talk too much to the residents while I do something.I am concerned about my English.Maybe one of the residents will ask me to do something but I can't understand because they talk very fast or because of slang.But I am never give up I will try my best.I am looking forward to meeting them.

My first time work with elderly people in Barrington lodge was amazing.All residents made me feel welcome and all staff really friendly.I started my work experience two days a weeks.My first day of work experience I worked with some one called Maria in green section area.It was really hard because many residents need extra helps.when I was there Maria doesn't have time to explained what I need to do because she was really busy that time,but I motivated my self to do something for residents. For example made their bed ,take all the rubbish,put all the dirty stuff in the bucket,helped to dress them,and made a cup coffee or tea for them.Maria and residents was really impressed because I asked many questions and I talked a little bit with residents.All residents asked me if I like worked with them also all staff asked Maria if I like it.Maria show me how to use a hoist and others stuff.

All the residents need different tools,before I knocked on the doors I need to checked what different aids they need to help them to moved to different places.Some times I find a little bit hard to understand what they say and I keep try to understand by repeating what they say,but one of them I am really struggle to understand because there is no stuff or people I can asked because all people busy that time.There is nothing I can do to understand what he saying.

Every 10 am we offer them for morning tea,they have the right to choose what they want to eat and drink.Before I finished all staff ask my team work if I did good job.My team work said to them I really enjoy and I am a good worker and easy to pick up new skills in the job.Last week I suppose finished 2,30pm but I decided finish 2.40pm because I want to show them that I am interested what I am doing.

My second of work experience I worked with Maria we worked in red section.She asked me if I want to shower one of the residents by my self.I was so happy because she trust me I can do it.After I am finished she was happy and asked me to go to different rooms.I tried to talked really slowly to one of the residents because she can't hear properly.I asked her if she want shower or wash, and she decided wash.I try really soft to wash her body because she had sensitive skin and I did all for her self.

After we finished from all rooms I went around residents rooms to checked if any other staff need me.Last week was easy day because we worked together with good communication.Maria and I went to lunch room for cup of tea and we had chat with staff,We had fun and laugh together.Maria told other staff,I might have a job in Barrington Lodge because I am a good worker and quick leaner.

My third of work experience I worked with Emma.She is friendly and happy person. She gave me some information that really important to ask my supervisor for next time.I asked Emma if I could shower a resident by my self.Last week was easy day for us because I was in red section.After we finished I went around the residents area to checked if they need something.Some of them need a cup of coffee and cup of tea.

I looked for staff who work at green section because I know in green section always busy and maybe they need me.Chandra and I went to residents rooms to check if they had used they are bowels, and help the residents ready for lunch.Everything going well and residents seem to be happy.

weeks four of work experience I worked with Kim,we worked in green section wich good for me.I worked by my self without supervised.I had a hard time to managed my work done on time, because one of the residents had a bad time.She refused all what I am said.I tried as I can to persuade her and patient wait when she is ready.Finnally all good with her and she offered me something to drink.

After that I went around the residents rooms to checked if all the resident done on time.Few of the residents need helps such as mades beds,a cup of coffee and a cup of tea and I also took them to rest room.I finished around 11 Am and went around the residents rooms just to checked if there is something I could do for them.I fell happy because there is nothing I can do,I when to laundry room help a girl who worked there.We went to all the residents rooms with a big troly full of clean clothes.My supervised and few satff laught at me.

Last week of my work experience I worked with Kim and Leony in green section with same residents.I showered and washed few residents.I finished really early and asked Leony if she could took me to different rooms.Kim and Leony asked me to get rested for 10 menit.I went to staff room for a cup of tea and help another carer.We went to red section to help one of residents for a bowel.My supervised had words with me about job.Few residents upsad because my last day there,he was so upsad about it and keep hugs and asked me if I will back for next time.
