Atonchia Supersonic January 28, 2018 Share January 28, 2018 just had lunch with a friend what i dont understand is why would a tuition centre employs a french national whom just arrived in singapore to teach english and science to singaporeans kids learning MOE syllabus defeats the purpose of going for tuition just my 2 cents It makes the students and parents feel the school very professional when they hire foreign teachers? Science probably because teacher has great science teaching method. But English? Can't understand Vhy get a French. Maybe the French accented English sounds nicer? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleAtas Turbocharged January 28, 2018 Share January 28, 2018 A bit off topic here ... Came across a company, wanted current employer for referencing (for checks). Is this normal? Even before offer. Normal. My place here, for some senior level they will do a background check even before job offer.. So any skeletons out there cannot hide.. ACRA,MAS,Civil litigation, ID/Passport verification, sanctions, social media and etc..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic January 28, 2018 Share January 28, 2018 Good school send your kid there.

Jamesc Hypersonic January 28, 2018 Share January 28, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the advises. Did not put any references, dont know why need current employer for checks. Like mentioned earlier, what if no offer. Its every simple. If your current employer says you are a very good employee the simple company you went for interview will gladly take you. If your current employer says you are a very bad employee the simple company you went for interview will not take you. Hope you took leave and didn't pretend you lau sai like me. When my company found out I went for interview with the simple company they said i was a very bad employee and I didn't get the job.

Jamesc Hypersonic January 28, 2018 Share January 28, 2018 HR mean Human Remains and they are some of the simplest people in the world. Please take advantage of these simple people. When one staff who keeps telling top management I was always late for work, go home early, take 2 hours for lunch and keep going for 5 star hotels buffets claiming it was for team building I told the new company this staff is the best in the company and they were so simple they took him. I was just so happy. I could now employ a nice looking young lady who works so much better under me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic January 28, 2018 Share January 28, 2018 In case you work in HR or a simple person. The good staff I want to keep I tell the new company the staff is bad. For bad staff I want to get rid of I tell the new company they are very good. This is for some people in MCF who don't know how to read one. I suspect they work in HR or senior management.

You can give bad reference but better think through how you do it as well. Otherwise end up like this. http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/man-awarded-4m-after-bad-reference-cost-him-new-job 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise end up like this. http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/man-awarded-4m-after-bad-reference-cost-him-new-job Now I am very worried. So far I only gave really good references to get rid of people but what if the company not happy with their performance? I think I have only once defense. They only work well under good managers like me. Maybe your manager are not so good and that is why he is not performing? The real trick is to use open ended and subjective description. "Kusje is a pleasure to work with and I enjoyed every minute working with him. He is indeed one of the finest employees I have worked with." Its not my fault if other people don't enjoy working with him and all the other employees were even worse than him and that's why he is one of the finest. Its like saying this orange is the juiciest of the lot. All also damn dry but this was the least dry and so it was the juiciest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusje Supersonic January 28, 2018 Share January 28, 2018 Dont know throw where liao. Just asking only. In case need. Think they can ask for them to reissue. Anyway, you can also provide references like ex bosses or project managers who might no longer be with the current company. i just got mobilised yesterday by your ex-company ððDidn't take MC? Usually when they give me notice that there is a mobilization, I will straight away go online and apply overseas trip.

Track 2nd Gear January 28, 2018 Share January 28, 2018 Haha ... understand. If good, say bad. If bad, say good. Just wondering about what these simple people are thinking by asking for references from current employer. Pichar lobang on job hunting? Its every simple. If your current employer says you are a very good employee the simple company you went for interview will gladly take you. If your current employer says you are a very bad employee the simple company you went for interview will not take you. Hope you took leave and didn't pretend you lau sai like me.
