A Boring Holiday

So bored!! Guess it's time to lower my expectations on my vacation job. Hur hur. Rejected like 10 positions as of today! OMG. Not that I'm picky, but all of the jobs are either $7 admin positions or customer service. Except for one, which I kinda regret rejecting. Haha. $7/hr too, but at least is accounts assistant, the kinda job I wanna find. But seriously, $7 an hour is really low.... =(


Let's say 5 days work week, 8 hours a day. Then normally there are 21 weekdays a month. So $7*8*21= $1176. After CPF, take home is only a pathetic $940.80. NoooooOOooooo!!!


Give me at least $8+/hr plssssssssssss. Haha. At least my last drawn vacation job was $1700. Hai. And I totally don't mind working 5.5 days plus OT! Because working longer hours would mean higher pay. Hur hur!! =D Maybe I should try to ask for higher pay instead of rejecting straight away.


Only went for 2 interviews and both sucks!! Not that I suck. But they suck!! BIG TIME! Hahaha. Seriously~ the first one is with Recruit Express (RE). Anyway, never go for RE interviews! It's a waste of time. I applied for this accounts assistant position online by RE. I only applied because it's written in the requirements that "Those with no experience but take Principles of Accounts before may apply". And I was like. Yay!! That's me! I took POA for O'levels, Diploma and University. And got like distinction for the first 2 and still waiting for results for University. I understand that if there's people with experience and the qualification would surely stand a better chance. But I just wanna take a chance, and give it a try.


I was damn happy when I receive "THE " call from RE. That would mean I'm given a chance for interview right right? I even prepare my certificates etc. =/ But nooo! Apparently they only ask me down for an interview with them, RE. And there's no specific position. I was so pissed. I stated clearly in the email and resume my period of availability etc. But they didn't bother to read! If it's not for the Accounts Assistant position they should at least tell me through the phone! For example, "sorry but the position is not available anymore, but we've got other positions for you, would you like to come down for an interview?' Not con us down, den waste our time.


I waited like 1/2 hour for the interview. I wonder how they arrange because they fit 2 candidates for the same slot. =.= During the interview, she introduced an admin position which requires me to commit for 4 months. It's like... =.= You mean you never read my e-mail? Then when I asked about the position that I'm interviewing for... she's like "you got accounting experience?" I clarified that the requirements states otherwise. Arghhhhh!! So you think I'm not suitable then ask me down for what? Anyway, I'm not the only one complaining about RE. Because my sister and some friends also kenna the same thing.

Another thing, if people call you about an assist manager with sales and marketing job, be prepared to do MLM. =)
