Job Hunting……..
Given the amount of freedom and time that I possess, I’m still searching high and low for a “perfect” part-time job that could last me for about a month or two. Perhaps those road show ones might help. Those are something that I would like to work as, given the fact that it’s not long-term.
While flipping through the classified ads in the Newpaper, it came to surprise me with a few jobs that I felt rather interesting and might wish to do. Firstly, it was the ice cream door-to-door sales. I did that before, along with Suban, but eventually worked once and didn’t do it anymore. That’s because the ice cream came in ONE block, like a freaking brick. And that means, I have to sell it for at least a $9 to gain some commission. And with Suban and I working under the same box of ice creams means that our commission is splitted into half. That sucks huh. In total, I think we earned about less than $10 for commission. Never looked back since.
Secondly was the “Sales Promoter Wanted, W/O Experience, NS or ORD Personnel Welcome” ads. These ads, not telling you how much you earn, what’s your working hours like and also the nature of your job scope, are mostly either MLM companies or so. I used to SMS to one of the companies and ask for their job scope, and they replied me with a “Please come down for an interview at this address…” And that address happen to be so familiar that my cousin did talk about once. Turns out to be another MLM company. I totally rejected the idea or even stepping out of my house to go for that interview.
Lastly, I saw 2 jobs that required helpers at their stalls. One was an ice cream parlour at Redhill, and the other at MDIS selling drinks. Can you imagine when Gabriel is studying there, and he needs a drink, and drops the drink at once when he saw me asking him to pay up? Can you imagine the look on his face. Haha!. Oh my. I can’t imagine myself to be a drink stall seller at all. But seriously, selling drinks can really earn some cash. Because - a human can live without food but not water.
The ice cream parlour is something that makes me look like a low class Ben & Jerry’s seller. And I dun wanna look like a scoop after having many past problems with scooping out ice cream. Haha. Kinda forget about wanting to scoop ice cream. Rather others scoop for me.
Yes, job hunting could be a tough job itself. Only if I get paid for job hunting.
