Interview

Its amazing how many types of people will just apply for a job even though they are totally wrong for the job...

lets see now...

I am looking for young people with little or no sales experience so that I can train them, they should be preferably pretty or handsome (so that they wouldn't be rejected so often), they should have a pleasant voice (to fair better in cold calling), they must be streetsmart and have the gift of gab, and importantly, they must want to do sales...

So who are the people who turned up???

I had a guy say: "I am sorry I wasted your time... ..." after I explained that he will be stressed for figures when he has decided to apply for a sales position (and this being a 32 yr old man who has been with our Armed Forces)...

I had a lady who looks and talks exactly like "Wednesday" (read my earlier post: Inheritance)... brrr...

I had 6 guys who didn't call even though they were scheduled for an interview... (so much for the future of Singapore if we are to depend on such people)...

I had a lady who is so boring in her talk that I almost slept in the middle of the interview...

I had a gay-ish guy who I disgustingly suspect that he tried to flirt with me...

I had a few who could not speak proper english, where I spent 80% of the time asking them to repeat what they had just said...

I had one who wouldn't shut up and actually cut me off when I was in the middle of questioning her, maybe I was the one being interviewed... haha...

Sigh...

Good help are hard to find nowadays... 9 weeks into the job and I already sound like my boss...
