hey peeps,
had a sudden urge to blog so i shant waste it.. never know when i might have the urge again.
i agree v much with eugene.. at least to the parts that make sense.. ns isnt a waste of time. had many memories, learnt many stuff, did things i never imagined i'd do. discovered a whole new me. for those who dont noe, my life in ns should be e slackest of them all, cept for maybe soon heng. airforce. nuff said. but its certainly not e least rewarding.
ok info on my job, imma recruitment consultant at recruitexpress. loving it atm. hope i stay this way for the remaining 5+ months. why did i sign such a long contract for 6/hr and some measly commission? def not for money. for everything else actually, interaction with ppl, the ability to help ppl, the experience, the super large jobscope, the fact that i'll be meeting new ppl everyday, talking to new ppl everyday, the fact that im doing something that matters to someone, being very much alive.
wad i actually do at my job: find candidates (referrals,friends,internet,newspaper ads,walk-ins), interview candidates (to assess them in every possible way) gather orders from order holders (positions to be filled and the ppl that find them), match candidates to orders (taking into consideration everything: race gender age education experience residence availability expected salary etc.) , create a resume for the candidate (according to our standard format, including our remarks), send resume to client (company looking for employees), wait for response, arrange interview (send interview details, make sure they know how to get there, arrive on time, if not inform client or rearrange interview), if everything goes well, client offers job to candidate, i'll then arrange contract signing, prep contract sign contract. then make sure they turn up for work, know where to work, then data entry info of the contract client candidate. at any stage ANYthing can happen. i do this everyday for many candidates at the same time. lots of memory work there. details details! and i gotta be fast, orders come and go super fast, if i delay in any way my candidate wont get the job and ive wasted any prior effort. Those who came to my office would noe how fast things move in there, its madness.. but organised and controlled madness.. luv it man. am currently at 13 filled temps in 7 days.
man, i just sold a contract to chew, and he's earning $8.85/hr till 31Jan, teeshirt slippers laxjax. me? $6/hr till 31may, shirt tie high expectations. that jobs just spoils the market completely, most jobs go for $6-6.50 only (do e math, we need to eat too). lucky ass. thank goodness for pretty colleagues.
for those interested in looking for jobs? just send me a simple resume, doesnt have to be damn detailed. all i need to do is just ask u some questions over the phone and u'd be getting calls for any good job offers that drops, they dont stick. no need come down for interview. if u want visit me also can, we get a private room and tok cok. we're at orchard, ngee ann city btw. referrals appreciated.
Jobs avail: Admin,data entry,human resource,promoter,sales,customer service,telemarketer,recep,secretary,accounts,packer,warehousehands,etcetc.
(that rightly sums up my jobscope actually, minus the packer and warehouse part)
DISCLAIMER: for those picky ones, want good pay good experience good location wad not, dont bother or be prepared to wait for some time. i say look for it yourself. we're recruitEXPRESS (speed), not recruitDREAMJOB.
oh ya btw my name in RE (recruitexpress) is called ken. kian yong's out of the question and kian's apparently too chinesy. at least i get something that i might respond too. some other guy got jay when he's called julian cos there's another julian in e office, u can imagine the confusion.
so when u read the recruit section in ST or surf jobsDB or any other jobsearch engine and see ken, thats me.
man, cant wait for the As to finish, or long long uni break to start...matured candidates, pref females, are so much more fun to interview. anybody noe anyone? haha. sick of them Os looking for work.
guys: ord lo, pls dont rot at home. even i move on from WoW. someone pls get me to started with running pls. im so dead come 2 dec.
girls: happy studying, glhf! hope this has been entertaining. ljjy ftw!
