Still... unemplyed...
9:22 PM
i've sent millions of resume out, may god bless me...just now, David from recruit express called me. well, did i mentioned about him here? ok, so let's talk about him ba...
so N years ago, when i was still a maid and it was just shortly after my graduation night, my brother's friend was looking for lucido.l promoter for weekends, $8.50 per hour at bugis. i think that was great as i could just do housework duirng weekdays and work during weekends, so i applied for it. i typed my resume out and send it to my borhter's friend. in the end, it directed to Recruit Express's David.
this is because my borther's friend is actually helping David out of kindness to find people to get jobs in recruit express. in the end, lucido.l didn't want me, and david decides to be my job agent - to help me find jobs. but sad to say, i couldn't give him any promise on the jobs that i can work. at that time, i was a maid who could only work once a week, or start working only on january. plus i was still a pending candidate for my SPH schlorship (though till now i'm still of an unknown status) so he offered me many jobs but i couldn't take. in the end, his offers start to decline, and till zero.
i thought he gave up on offering me jobs. Though i was urgently looking for a job now, i didn't want to 厚着脸皮 to find him. after troubling him during my maid period, it's quite embarassing to still ask him to help me. however, it was such a coincidence that he called me today, and he offered me a job. it's as a temp graphic designer! of course i'll say yes to anything. haha. so he sent my resume to the company.
another hope for me. may it not be an empty hope...
oh, by the way, i've forgot to mention about the real reason why i didn't want to work with the MLM thing. where do you think the company get so much money to pay it's workers? upon reaching the highest position, you are paid a commission of 40%. other than your commission, the sale of one product has to feed a lot of levels of people. which means to say, in fact, about 70% or more of the price of the product is used to pay everyone. in addition, you still have the production cost to cover. after everything, the remaining will ONLY be the company's profit. how will a company survive if it has such high cost to maintain? the only conclusion i can draw is that the product cost is only less than 5% of the selling price. and these all make sense! you get paid such high wage because you are exploiting the consumers' money!!! regardless of whether the product is really beneficial to the consumer or not, i think it is morally and ethically unacceptable to sell at such prices. if you think that it's perfectly ok to earn this kind of money, fine. ignts.
