Dress with Pride!

I actually wanted to blog what happened yesterday about a girl that I interviewed yesterday. I dun have the time..

My interview session starts at 10 onwards yesterday, and since I was in office the whole day, I told that who so ever who call in on that day can also walk-in for an interview well except for u know….PEST…. the secret to scan thru them is well..asking their full name of course…

Once they stated their names, then it’s also easier to scan, an auto filter through phone…LOL

Okay, okay, I know I’m very cruel and but this is what my company wants..no pest and no…erm erm..no others…hhehehehehheh

Okay, bac to the interview session, the first wan was okay, of course the usual …..but the last question was funny..

Interviewee 1 : how many days I need to work?
Me : 5 and a half
Interviewee 1 : ( keeps quiet for 4 seconds ) SO Long ar?
Me : what is short then?
Interviewee 1 : (Smiles)…….

The 2nd got lost I think, so she FFK an since she is not bother for an interview so I’m not bother to call her….

I think it was the 3rd one that I was shocked… she came in looking all sweaty….and good gracious me, she was dressed in jeans skirt and T-shirt… I was looking at her resume and she wanted to be an admin staff…. Okay….( I thought to myself and told her to take her seat)

Her language was all ROJAK , canto, Chinese and English, I wonder if she really read the newspaper by herself to apply for the job. And I looked at her age.. 24 years old!!!
That’s same age as me.. okay I know that I’m being very bias , but even so, dressin in jeans does not get you no-where to a proper job in office.

I’m not advertising for shampoo girl….hello? but that was not the proper word to say..

Me : Are you aware of the post you are applying for?
Interviewee 3 : HUH? Post for job?
Me : (Oh my god, this is getting so awkward)… so I spoke to her in canto..
Interview 3: YES. I know.
Me : ( For god sake, I asked u in Canto, u answered me in English)…( and so I smile)

The interview lasted not more than 5 mins, seriously, I asked her something, she answered another, I thought I was speaking in French.

I was only 11.30 and my blood was boiling, It was such a waste of time. I didn’t answered all her questions that she asked and told her that I will call her IF she gets the job WHICH I WILL NOT CERTAINLY DO THAT!

The rest of the interviewees were okay, nothing much. But I guess when you go for an interview, please, please dress appropriately.. the only person that you carry is yourself and it should show much pride, not more flesh. When you dress well, you feel good and you feel confident and that should be the way for any interview. It gives good impression to the person that is going to interview you.

So many unemployed

I was not in the office the whole day today, I forgotten that my advert to recruit was actually out today and I have left both the admin girl do the talking. I also did not mention to them the actual date that I was free to interview. So I guess it was kindda hay wire for the receptionist

I was attending a meetin when I receive a call from the office

Colleague : wey, Eunice, so many call for interview la, tell them to come when?

Me : (I looked at my time, and I saw that I was 9.30 am, c’mon 9.30 am u know? And already so many call, this must be crazy)

ok , u take down their number, once I get bac I will arrange to call.

Colleague: ok la. Bye

And so she did. At when I got back to office, I think it was about 5 pm that time, almost time for everyone to get home n for me to get started. I think she handed me the list.

Containing of 42 people. I blink again and again , to see clearly if she miss out the number.

It was correct. 42 people.

Oh my god..FOURTY TWO? so many jobless people around???

And then I scan thru their names, guess what…..??

They are non –other than pest . PEST that eat what the government feeds, given discount to buy house for their lack of inefficiency in handling money and contributes nothing to the community. There you go…. All this jobless people around not appreciating what the government had given them, and even with all this, they are still freaking STUPID and even worse now, driving big cars because they think they can pick up the bits from the Chinese but still no progress even with the tiny leftover from us….

I’m not racism but I jus KENOT TAHAN, because this type of people that u recruit will also work for a little while and then jus leave. Waste my money and time….

So I auto filter all the list and I have only 6 people, ya ya do the math for jobless people please…..see how many of them are unemployed, wait they are PEST, see how much they are unemployed.

And there you go, only 6 and I was ready to get home by then….another new day tomorrow.

Bad Habit!

I have this bad habit on reflecting on my work performance and how much pay check I receive when my colleague is leaving for another job.. since the assistant is leaving , IT MEANS I HAVE TO DO ALL THE SHIT JOB, because she is not around anymore , although she had given one month notice in advance but one month is like so fast, and I only received the news like last week, which makes the news 3 weeks old, leaving me only one week to ask her finished whatever she need to do so that I wont have to do it…

And now I have one week to recruit, interview and train a new girl…WHAT IS THIS? So little time, so much to do, and on top of that I have my own job to do..it was just last week when I complaint on efficiency and now …(sigh)…

And therefore, I’m now complaining my distress…. And I feel like getting another job, and I’m comparing myself with those that are getting bigger salary than me, then again their job is more stressful and I’m so lazy to do those kind of stuff…

Now I’m starring at the performance board in my office and my agent has already earn RM 9,000 for the second week, God knows how much she will earn by the end of this month. I wish I can be an agent , BUT I know myself.. if I would choose to be an agent, I would stay at home and do nothing because money is not MY utmost drive, thus having said that I’m stuck here AGAIN….

And I should not blog during office hours because it jus a strictly NO-NO! but then again I’m jus so frustrated for this kind of lousy feeling…

Ok, so my life is not perfect, and I know I keep saying a lots of AND, and And,……

So I think I will just stop here till my next post…

To work or not to work?

Recently, a colleague in my office wanted to quit her job, not because her job was tedious or her pay was little. I think it’s probably their communication between her n her superior, or so to say her boss. Although, I have not work here long enough to understand her boss, or to understand my colleague, but I think (HER BOSS).is nice and she’s a very generous or maybe because I’m not under her, therefore I have no right to say anything.

My colleague is actually very hardworking but I think her superior has no clue on how to guide n nurture her with the right words and attitude. And knowing that she would be leaving, the company would have to recruit new people again , because obviously her superior could not work without her but then again she would not stay for whatsoever reason. I think it would be a great loss for both of them, and the company.

You see, everytime the company losses a staff, the company spends money on advertisement which could actually cost a lot. Advertisement is NOT CHEAP! THEN, the boss would waste their time trying to go through interviews which could be tedious. After that, choosing the right person would also be a headache to match their remuneration package. After the person in being hired, the recruits would need to under go training. And there you go, the list goes on when other benefits needs to be considered. There is where my boss comes in the picture; he would ask me how much the cost would be and how much time we would need to recruit a new person. Saying too much money would waste company resources saying too little time would show my in-efficiency…

Having said that, all my colleagues would think that MY BOSS is a super nice person, but then again, working for him could really make u stress out. I think bosses that are already in their level and being very comfortable often forget their leadership skills and training. They have big egos and would bully their staff. (PS: I’m not being bully by my boss incase you are wondering)

Or perhaps I do feel that I’m lack of learning opportunities. My boss often feels that sending me for training would be a waste of time and money. But he does not realize that, it is the only way to show that he actually care about my future development and would also help the company to be more professional. Or perhaps he jus feel that he would not want to develop me which in return makes sense because I would not work for him forever. But then again, it would only cause a high turn over in the company and nobody would really care.

So, I could not blame my colleague if she had chosen to leave. It will be a great loss for both the company and her. She lost a job that would give her good prospect; the company loss a good worker that in return would benefit the company in the long run. And as for me??
I’m contented with what I have now, having to face work everyday would not be the most difficult, I think the most difficult is how we juggle with life everyday….

An Unforgettable Trip!

Last, last weekend,I went to Cameron Highlands, I’ve been there a few times before but we were there just for fun, This was my most unforgettable trip because I WENT TO Cameron without looking at my petrol tank, ok, maybe not all my fault, but part of it was the driver’s fault , nevermind if I’m d navigator… but STILL…ish…

After we checked out, We visited the place that we should visit while we were in Cameron, the usual ones: the Cactus, Strawberries, farm and blah blah, we left from Brinchang, and while we came out from the junction in Brinchang I spotted that there was only One Shell Petrol kiosk, so this was what happened..

Me: Wey, enough to go down Sg.Pulai o not?
Driver: sure can wan, no problem
Me: sure boh? Left only one (finger pointing at petrol meter needle)
Driver: that’s because we are driving upwards, so it looks like it’s empty but actually still got some more left.
Me: issit?.(maybe I don’t know much bout cars)
Driver: yes la…
Me: wokie… (since its your car)

So we was driving for a while or maybe more than that and I spotted a stone saying Simpang Pulai 35.. I don’t know whether its mile or kilometers, but i know its like still very far cause i stilll noticed that we were halfway down the mountains..

waaa…. 35 means got another half an hour only reach Simpang Pulai..????
Got so far meh?
when we came up, we also took about an hour......
issit?
what u mean? You were driving right?
then..like this..i dun think got enough petrol

i was speechless....because his tone is not funny at all....

u sure o not? Got reminder flashing?
Not yet, but soon, we’ll have to stop at a safe place already.
OH MY GOD! We are halfway now and I dun remember seeing any petrol kiosk man… (I look at my phone n there on my sony ericsson “no network” )
**( this is all pure sh*t, no petrol, no network, and middle of no where)..this is jus so typical la….. to make things worse...


Driver: eh the petrol sign blink already la, we really have to stop a SAFE place
Me: okay, okay….erm…. we stop infront la, ( there was a stretch of road that is quite straight in front, and we stop by…. And there was no car PERFECT! We manage to stop a biker, who said that the petrol kiosk is another 30mins drive…...

He did not want to offer us help until we offer to pay him a little bit of money…YEAH SURE….AND MALAYSIAN –BUDI BAHASA BUDAYA KITA- MONEY TALKS!

SO THERE, both of them went leaving me stranded here, I went and wait in the car, and knowing that there was no help, Duh, since there is no connection, my only way was to scream..in case anything happens…

but then again who will hear when I’m like no where covered by all this greenery…. insects? tree? aiyer.....U cannot imagine the agony of waiting for someone, and in a foreign place , (ok la although still in cameron but STILL?)

u feel completely lost, and fear off being kidnapped, hijacked and so on, my mind was driving me crazy…

I think after about 45 mins, they returned, and we had to pay the Orang Asli guy RM 50 for about 8 litres of petrol …that so FREAKING EXPENSIVE!

(sigh) but what to do? Who ask some smart ass to go down hill without filling the petrol tank…. So actually apart from this, we really had fun during this trip….

just go through the pictures la….sorry for bein cam whoring, I can’t help it!! LOL , no la, I seldom take pictures… (Slap slap) k k, jus enjoy …

Anyways, a picture means more than a thousands words, rite?

THE RAT RACE

I recently caught up with a long lost friend, she used to be a very close friend of mine during schooldays, dun get me wrong, we are still very good friends …some how we got our own ways during college days and now we are landing ourselves in this city so called KL in a stupid rat race.

I came to know that although I’ve been enjoying my so called life, not everyone was… ok, I do admit that I really have tough time in my life, when I was in hospital, when I was heartbroken, when I was jobless, or when I had a job but I hated my job, or when I wished I just have all the money in the world.

Okay, too many of these dreams…cut the crap Eunice! Let’s get this straight.. I guess in everyone life there is up and there is down. All we need to do is to have some courage in our heart to overcome this entire obstacle and therefore we will have the victory. I guess the true challenges that we face is ourselves, our mindset. And most of all, I think God would not give us what we cannot handle.

Here’s a little encouragement to my dear friend, what ever you do, be courageous and strong! Never neglect your loved ones who used to support you once upon a time ago!
Cheers!
