More chronicles of the desperate job-seeker.

As I was mentioning about my job hunt process in my previous posts, I went for YET another job interview yesterday. It was very impromptu. I was flipping through the classified section of the papers around noon, and the next thing I know, I was called down for interview in the afternoon. I saw the $3800 in bold on the advertisement space. Some sales consultant job, and something to do with travel. Well, the pragmatic side of me just decided to go for it.

So I drove all the way to Bugis area. It was the don't know how many-th time I was dressed smartly and appearing for a job interview only to find out that it was yet another saikang kind of job. Dude. The basic is only $1000? And that's for the 1st month only. After that it's back to full commission based. Damn. I still remember the previous interview I went for. $1700 basic + $300 transport allowance. Sounds like a good deal eh? And what's the job scope? Promote air-purifiers.

Instantly turned off. I was. I didn't even need to bother about the money.

Seriously, I can't imagine myself going from door to door and saying "Hi Madm, would you like to try our LATEST, NEWEST, most INNOVATIVE air-purifier product that can help you clean up every inch, every corner, and every speck of your house?"

That's SOOOO NOT me.

I have to admit, I used to think I love doing sales until I find it kinda tiring and you really have to be that kind of on-the-ball every minute/second to make sure you achieve your targets. If not, you can go "eat yourself". Lol.

For me, I don't really like the idea of wearing a mask each time when I have to approach people. I prefer to be more down-to-earth. Just give me a stable job man. Anything with good experience will do.

I'm not fussy. $10K a month will do. HAHA.

On another note, I woke up to a piece of good news. I now have 1 more new tuition assignment. Yay! And the pay is GOOD. And it's just walking distance.

SPUR ON Mr Ong!!! ><"
