I am frantically looking for a HR job, but it is so so so very hard to find. Though I have only started my search for 2 weeks, I can't help but feel sianz. So far, I had went for only 2 interviews in organisations.
The first one is a healthcare organisation offered very low pay saying that I do not have experience and hence only that pay. Moreover, I can already sense that my interviewer is pretty political. Since I agreed that I have zero experience, I was in a dilemma if I should accept the position. I was so troubled that I went to 求簽 can! Haha.. Mother said that since I 求簽-ed already I must follow the advice. The advice given was to be patient and wait. OK! I shall wait then. Haha..
The second one I was
sort of conned into going for interview by the agent. The name of the agency has 2 words. First word means search, starting with
R, and the second word means fast, starting with
E. Apparently I am not very happy with their services. The agent told me that this job is a
6 months contract to perm position at this very reputable MNC. However, if I were to leave the contract within these 6 months, there will be a penalty of 1 month's pay. The reason the agent gave was because the
company provide intensive training. The offering pay is my minimum, hence I went, especially since it is a MNC.
When I reached there, the manager told me that they are just looking for a temporary 6 months contract HR assistant. Meaning to say, I will
need to leave the company after 6 months regardless of my performance. The job is basically to cover 2 HR personnels on maternity leave.
No training will be provided -- I am generally left on my own. The 1st 3 months I am just required to do paperwork. Needless to say, I was totally shocked. This is a totally different story from what the agent said. I was rather disgusted by the action of the agent too.
The next day, the agent called me. I told her what she had said to me was totally different from what the manager told me. She
acted blur. AND, she said that 6 months of working in the MNC will look good in my resume, saying she had my interests at heart etc etc etc. OH PLEASE!
To be honest, I was quite empathic with the manager. They are seriously shorthanded. In fact, they require me to start work on Thursday if I am agreeable. Moreover, I appreciate him being frank. BUT, the working location is at Science Park 2 and I live in Ang Mo Kio. And, I am totally not comfortable in letting the agency earn my money -- I still would have to pay them administration charges of $53.50 if I take up the job. So, needless to say, I rejected the job.
So now, I am still
nua-ing at home. Haiz..
PS: Japan Day 4 edited to insert live crab video
The sun is good. :)
Found myself a good spot
Can see planes fly by too. This one flew a bit higher, those that flew low I can see their "exhaust pipes". During my 2 hours' stay, I saw at least 20 planes flew pass, no joke. 
I swear some of the sand was glistering in the sunlight.

Armed with a book
I then decided to attempt to take artistic shots of myself
Erm.. Apparently I failed.
