All ft came to apply jobs

[Tom_kkh]

haha, just spoke to an ex colleague who has been a sales coordinator for 5 yrs, with no experience in facing front line customer, cold calling, etc. only process DO.

 

now he wants to apply outdoor sales executive post asking 2.5k basic. Can i call this sky high expectation?

Makan my tpt allowance (non-CPF contribution hence underdeclared) while I was in ICT.

Makan my "oversea allowance" as he paid me LOCAL tpt allowance but made me drive to KL for annual meeting.

Makan our team commission as he said that last few months never hit target.. But part of all, commission only $30....

 

6 months later, I was promoted from Sales Executive to Business Development and demoted in salary as tpt allowance being removed.

2 months later, I got headhunted and set up my own department within a 10m company.

3 other colleagues left after 4 months, setting up their own SME and we join venture.

And at the same time, the company got into trouble and had to crease operations.

And he had set up his own again with 2 more competitiors.

 

His boat finally sank and he became a housing agent.

Then government step in for housing agencies to be control and he got himself out of job again.

Currently, he is in his 40s and unable to find one stable job for the last 20months already...

 

Looks like lady luck shine on you , Wondering when will she smile on me...

Got greedy, set up own SME with someone whom is very experience in my field....

He is 64 ages old with 4 listed company (over 700pax) and I am street smart knowing the current local market....

Both of us got conned by FT and company burst in 4 months...

Then I was out of job and jump into another industry with a lower salary...

But it was an eye opener looking how different company/background manage customer/supplier.

Could be your wrong "marketing" that's at fault.

 

How to find local people with N/O levels now? Even those with lousy N/O levels would have "upgraded" to ITE Certs or private institutions certifications. Maybe you should specify Diploma, ITE Certs, etc.

My current company doesn't even have a FT/FW...

When I cannot find a replacement for a jr position and they did asked me whether I would go for FW...

Boss intercom me to ask "how do you think of a poiny" and my reply to him was "you got lobang for cheap thrills meh???"

 

And I found a slightly more expensive fresh grad but I am happy that I got him.

 

Same policy.

My junior positions are all Singaporeans and when an opening comes up it goes to the staff groomed internally to move up.

My policy is to only hire foreign talents that have skills that cannot be developed internally and hard to find externally.

some positions e.g. customer service... attracts more foreigners.... and they performed better....

singaporeans all run far far away..
