Good news for me! I've got a job. Admin assistant at CBM Pte Ltd. The company mainly deals with facilities management in commercial and residential buildings. Have yet to understand more about the company and my duties. Very excited about this job cos I'll be stationed at one of their condo sites which is at YCK, one station away only. Haha! I'm so damn lucky! =D
To further elaborate how lucky I am... I was offered a 6 months contract by Recruit Express as a Recruitment Consultant on Monday. I was very happy when I received the call for the interview cos I'd sent out several resume but hadn't gotten any replies for weeks. The interview dragged for quite awhile cos the Manager was quite busy. I passed the interview and was immediately offered the contract. But as I went through the terms in the contract, I felt threatened. The only term that appealed to me was the pay of $6/hr and $8 commission per successful deal. Other terms were like "penalty of $10,000 if you seek employment at a company in the same line within one year after you leave the company" and "compensate one month's pay if you do not commit till the date as stated in the contract". Can conclude from the contract that the company is not concerned about employee's welfare, no OT pay, no medical benefits, no leaves, etc. It's more like a threat than a contract. I asked for 2 days to consider and decided to give up the contract, this morning. Then just a few hours later, CBM called to tell me that I was selected for the admin position. I went for the interview yesterday and the interviewer told me that they were still screening candidates for the position and would call me next week if I'm selected. Half my hopes were gone cos I thought I was inexperience. I really want the job not only because it's very near my place, but the employee's welfare was not bad. Upon confirmation, I'd have 14 days of annual leave, Yearly Bonus, Medical Benefits, etc. Indeed, my wish came true, I got the job. Will commence on 22nd April. So have to tidy up my notes ASAP and start to plan my time table wisely, can't afford to waste another year. Jia you! =D
