Yeah, a double post tonight, or rather, this morning.
so it has been a month of work, just 2 days ago, the 3rd of april passed without fanfare. Now I just realised, with nothing to work with, no financial commitments, and not much of a long term financial goal to fulfil , its so easy to fall into two polar disparities of work attitudes:
- Get bored. I’m not exactly dealing with very active work, though it does come in once in a while. but filing and organising with 2-3 years’ worth of data entry to do isn’t exactly exciting.
- Get complacent. my job isn’t exactly something with a target to fulfil, and the people are very nice. So i can easily get complacent and rest on my laurels , be content with the 7 an hour… Its very very easy as i get alot of autonomy
which is something i like .
So yeah, i work @ capitaland now, and i sift through resumes like they’re some sort of garbage coz of the sheer multitude of prospective hires and the number of copies they make for internal distribution to relevant authorities. They want me to stay till end may, and i wanna go on holiday end june/early july. I dunno, should i jump ship and work another place till end june? maybe source for better pay? i dunno. but i agreed to stay on till end april . my prev terms meant that my old contract ended on 2 april. I can finish their mountain of stuff by end april actually. If i work at it. lol I’m already halfway through.
But they need a system overhaul, its not efficient if you have one overloaded hr manager doing all of the interviews and all and having interview details not keyed in as far back as end 2005. Its so good to be able to sift through her comments though. you get to see what kind of people this particular organisation is looking for, what traits are important(communication and confidence!) , and why some people were rejected.
and people are so different when you analyse their work, and you analyse them. This hr manager who hired me is actually my NJ senior. lol she was even from S5B. -.- same bloody combi and class. got to be kidding right? lol coincidence like mad. haha She’s like, 15 years my senior hahahah lovely when you get to access all confi stuff :X hahhaha She’s the kind of person i’d look for in a girlfriend/wife loh.. ok maybe not THAT workaholic in nature, maybe more laid back, someone i can come home to, and still take out to dinner.
maybe thats why i;m still single. hhahaha my exepctations sibeh high… experience sibeh low. looks like i’m a perfect candidate for those matchmaking agencies LOL!
yeah, so another month, and if MOE doesn’t get back to me regarding my application, i will flip. and go look for some other job, instead of waiting out for this stupid relief teaching job. My sec school is RIGHT BESIDE MY HOUSE and i can’t work there coz of red tape. fuck man. my friend got his approved in a month, mine is 2 months and counting… and well, no news . I’ve resolved not to go into the civil service, coz of red tape. I find it VERY stifling. But this teaching thing, i wanna give it a shot. And i wanna see the class through the perspective of my teachers, while my teachers are still around
