FYI, I'm in a recruitment firm now.
Reason of blogging this entry?
I AM FUCKING SICK OF PEOPLE ASKING ME REDUNDANT QUESTIONS!
Friends who have noticed my Facebook profile, you can see me advertising different positions that I've got in hand in Facebook.
For e.g.
Looking for Sales Engineer. Min 1-2 years sales Experience. Possess own car. Basic up to $2500. Petrol card provided. North area. Singaporeans/SPR only.
I believe it's fucking obvious that what kind of people I am looking for, but yet I still have people asking me how much is the pay, need experience or not, no car can or not, not Singaporean/SPR can or not. Isn't it fucking obvious?!!!!
I don't mind explaining if my status didn't mention any of the questions they ask AND I don't fucking think the way I express myself in Facebook of the people I'm looking for in my post is THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
Everyday I have different people OR even the same people asking me these sort of questions when I have state everything there. Hello!!! My company don't charge candidates for any fees, we are kind enough to help you to look for a job. And you still want to hiam this hiam that. Wtf?! And it's not that I never state the salary, qualification and stuffs that my client indicates leh!
I am super annoyed by these people everyday, I try not to login my Facebook during the weekends because I know I will encounter such people again.
I also have people that tells me...
"Help me look for job leh!"
BUT THEY DON'T SEND ME THEIR RESUME!!!! Or even more torhui scenarios....
ABC: Hey Charlene, help me look for a job!
ME: Sure, what kind of jobs are you looking for?
ABC: Anything lor! As long I got job can already!
CCB!!!!!!!!!! Explain to me what is anything please!!!!!!!!!!!
DEN NEVERMIND.........
Me: Oh, ok! (reads thru his/her resume)
Me: Looking at your experience, I have this position that is suitable for you.. Company is dealing with _______, they are in need of a sales executive. Would you be interested?
ABC: HUH!!!!! I don't want work sales leh, very tiring leh.. Some more retail hours, got other positions or not?
ME: (SUPER DULAN BUT LUN!!!!!) So what kind of positions are you interested?
ABC: I also dunno leh! Anything lor! As long as I got job already!!!!!!!!
IF YOU WERE ME YOU WILL DULAN OR NOT?!!!!!!!!
Ridiculous people I have in my Facebook I tell you.
Arbo is people who are shortlisted for interview, dua me go holland!!!!! (means M.I.A)
Every now and then I have different candidates on hand being shortlisted by clients for interview. I will always give them a call before the day of the interview or if I have extra time on that day.. I will give them a call before they head down for interview.
ME: Hi ABC, just to confirm with you... The interview appointment with DEF Company is tomorrow at 2pm.
ABC: Yes!! I'll be going tomorrow!
ME: Great! In any case you can't make it tomorrow, please give me a call so I can cancel the interview appointment for you.
ABC: Sure sure sure! Not a problem!
ME: Haha, ok! Good luck and hope you'll get the job!
ABC: Yeah! Thanks so much!
The very next day, I called ABC and there was no response.
30 minutes later, my client calls up and ask where is ABC. Den I tried to call ABC several times and gave her a text message too. But there were no respond as well.
IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THAT POSITION OR HAVE ALREADY BEEN OFFERED BY ANOTHER COMPANY! YOU CAN JUST SAY WHAT! CB!!!!! WHY MIA?!!!!! It's not that I will scold you, whack you or kill you what?!
(I didn't text her that lah!)
I hope all the people that I mention above will not be employed by any other company. Cause they seriously have wasted my fucking time and ruin my professionalism.
They are super heng that this is not my company. If not I sure kan one! LOL! Hahaha. Talk about customer-oriented! LAN SAI LOR!!!!!!! No matter how ORIENTED ARE YOU, YOU ALSO CANNOT TAHAN ONE!!!!
I'm happy that I have nice friends or candidates though. Thank you all for being considerate and understanding. Love.
To the rest who come char siao char pi, FUCK YOU VERY MUCH! RARRRRRR!!!
Hi Chariene
ReplyDeleteI hve say take it cool,,,no point angry them cos there is all kind of people in s'pore...I facing this problem also...some told them coming interview but when I wait all day, them come at all (call them dun ask),,some ask me what the pay then they come(mmm they did not come).... some ask me go to their place interview(tell them to fly fite)...what for make yourself angery for them...cos them won't feel bad,,, take it ease ")
Obvious that you are fucking angry but kind of cute in expressing yourself. :)
ReplyDeleteI believe that dealing such nuisance is part and parcel of your job as a recruiter.
As you are serious in this profession, you will soon find a good way to deal with such people.
You will agree with me that you can't stop such nuisance coming in but you can much better control your emotions. If not, you can continue to get frustrated while those suckers out there happily wasting other people's time.
I believe you are a smart lady and could better judge what is worth doing...
Hey guys, just wanna vent out my anger. Thanks for your concern. :)
