Today entry will be all about the above topic ~ ^^
Finally, is my turn to wave goodbye to this company after seeing so many colleagues leaving. I have been working at this company as a Recruitment Consultant since last year May 3, 2016. I would say not a short nor long duration - it is exactly 1 year and 24 days in this cray cray company. Haha.. Actually, this job is my first official job after completing my degree studies.I did apply for a few positions through job street but do not receive any news or call till I decided maybe I shall go for a part time job first. Eventually when I decided to find a part-time job, received a call from an event company to attend a face to face interview and not this recruitment company. Quickly I log in my Jobstreet to see which company I have applied haha.. saw the event employer reviewed my profiles for quite a number of times and the office is located at Greenlane area which is near to my house, therefore, decided to go for a try.
I accepted the interview invitation because based on the job scope stated I feel I can cope with it and the job scope can be similar to previous job experience as SPEA of Redbull Malaysia. If I did not remember wrongly this event company position title is something like event coordinator and the job scope is quite fun therefore decided to try it out. Prepare everything and go for the interview. My god, what I can conclude from that interview is that it is the worst interview experience ever! The way that lady talk is so arrogant and you feel like smacking her up, down, left, right. hahaa..throughout the interview she just sits there with her folded hand and leg, talk time keep roll her eyes and etc etc. the pattern damn kuat.. After I done introducing myself and telling her my work experiences, she just rolls her eyes and says "I do not think you suit for this position, with your background of studies and work experience is not capable of handling this but nevermind you can go home and think, see if you are suitable for this, if no then you can just drop an email to withdraw" She some more say "I need to hire a person with good English to help me do work since my English is not that good, all my things I will say it in Chinese then you will have to translate all into good English" the whole interview session she is speaking Chinese.. hahahaa... joker la this lady.. if you think my profile is not suitable why you some more invite me for interview.. immediately I go home and withdraw my application..
Then few more days later I receive call which is from this recruitment company to go for a face to face interview. The one who interviews me is a beautiful lady which is the team lead at that time and the manager as well. It is way way way better compared to that event company interviewer, the interview session goes on for about 1 hours + hahaa.. is more to a chit chat session which gets to know more about my background. Then the team lead tell me that they will come back to me if I am shortlisted for this position. So I went back home to wait for the news. On my birthday itself 25th April 2016, I receive the offer letter from the manager. The salary offered is lower compared to my expected salary. Did discuss with family whether should I accept this offer or continue searching? But that time around June I got a trip with friends to Gili Trawangan,Lombok (Read it here : - Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3-4) no choice but need to earn kachings to go for vacation so accepted the offer since I feel the team lead and manager so nice, it will be fun if working with them. Then I think I went to KL for a short family trip.
That time la I receive a KL number keep calling me when I am taking my nap. Keep calling till I frustrated then only I pick up with my wake up and angry voice immediately I throw out this sentence- "HELLO, WHO IS THIS?" then a lady very formally telling me she is calling from the HQ from this recruitment company. bla bla and before end the call I did ask her who is this, she just ask me to address her as Jxxx .. LOL.. on the phone with me for quite long time ask this and that.. ask me whether want to come to KL work or not, tell me all the Chinese idiom which I am not familiar with..then she says will drop me an email la this and that. Back to Penang and check email only know that lady who spoke to me is the CEO of this company hahaha.. with the Datin title some more. Joined the company on 3rd May 2016, on that day itself another 3 more news girls joining as well, at that point of time I did feel a little weird but then in my mind thinking maybe this company is expanding or what. so just ignore my thoughts.. then bit by bit know the news from the existing team that they are not expanding but all these new hired are to replace the whole team here.. haha GG.. Entered to the wrong company.. that time feels so lost.. but lost also work for 1 year +.
What I can conclude is working here is you need to depend on your own most of the time and need to be alert with all your doings.. need to bare with the micro manage management style, some more you have no rights to defend yourself, deal with the HQ people can make you vomit blood because they do not communicate to each other- need to ask Penang team to become their messenger even though they are sitting next to each other in HQ, receive all the long and lengthy email that make you feel irritating and disgusted, and most recent incident and ridiculous one is asked to pay electricity bill.. LOL but of course we employee didn't pay for it, whenever I tell my friends about my management, all will have the same sayings why you can stand working there..of course, all this leads to high turnover rate.. and finally this time is my turn to leave after receiving a better offer.. hahaa... Anyway, this one year plus allows me to learn and expose a lot of things. I do love my job scope there and will miss it but definitely not the management style. To all the colleagues who are still working there.. all the best and don't stay there too long~ hahahaa
