By
Serene Tan at 1:35 AM
Another night of OT.... because of some selfish behavior in my coy that is cause me having to work that late.. argh.. im starting to see the true colors of some pple... haha.. well, its ok that they exist but i hope they dun think think abt stepping on my tail... ah lao ask me to put a stop to some things before i kena stab and die without knowing why.... hahaha
today, sis was gg thru my niece homework (Pri 4) and she passed to us to read.. and we had a good laugh...

The main causes that lead to disputes and unhappiness among residents...
(niece writes)
1. Playing Mahjong in the midnight

What can be done to resolve these problems?
(niece answers..)
1. being their friend
HAHAHAHA... First u hate ur neighbour for playing MJ... maybe cause they never jio u ma.. so u get to know them as friends.. so that they will jio u for MJ??? I wonder if this was what my niece was thinking.. hahaha.. anyway we had a good laff la... we didnt help her hor.. she think herself de
And i see the traits of myself on my niece... haha.. they way she gives instructions and commands her brother (my nephew) is so... ME... i m very strict and nasty to them.. and i realise that my niece is sounding like me.. but heng not the nasty part yet.. but the... demanding TONE... i notice them quite some time ago but as time goes by, she is getting more and more like me!
I asked Eamon (nephew): Didi, u dictation for spelling, u have to memorise right?
Eamon: No, teacher reads out to us
Me (turns to my niece): Jiayi, ur dictation is memorise one right?
Jiayi: Nods. (stares at eamon and say) Dictation is memorise one lor, dun you know?
And i used to nag at my niece and nephew...
Me: When's your spelling?
Niece: I dunno
Me: Its ur suty as a student to be attentive in class and responsible for urself, dun you know?
and both tones are similar..!! hahaa..
but i hope she learn to be more confident when she learns that kinda tone from me.. so she will have more confidence to present herself in oral or speech or presentation (show and tell)... but of coz, in a less commanding tone... hahahaha

I happen to meet this HR from this MNC... and she is very demanding and only talk and dun listen... i have been struggling with her requirements for like... 1 week (including weekends).. all burnt because of her.. i cannot even rest when im home.. cause i have to work because of her again... jus as i thought i jus do my best and if cannot, then i jus give up and go to the next better one... she jus ask us for the rates and ready to sign the terms...!!! To be honest, im very superstitious about first deal.. cannot be too greedy, cannot be too picky (i mean myself).. i jus take whatever that comes, then the rest of my deals will be smooth too... kekeke... so im swallowing my anger... seriously.. i very pissed off...
i narrate the situation to be like.... buying a plate of chicken rice and wanting it to be duck flavour... and she is.... argh... she is the FIRST female customer that gives me attitude...
haizz.. jus do lor.. first deal.. need to break egg first...
Trying my very best...

Too many things, too little time
By
Serene Tan at 1:09 PM
either im slow or im not picking up fast... there are so so so many things to do.. and all the jobs are time consuming...
every night after work (at home).. i will consolidate all the leads i need to cold call for the next day...
then once i go work the next morning, i gotta do cold call... the find candidates to fit into the position... and to be honest, candidates are not a spare part or some dead things... they are all alive.. and they come in different shapes and sizes (i mean, different exp and edu background).. i cant fit 100% into the position but at least a 75%.. AT LEAST... u think its easy? nah... some looks very good on paper.. but when u call them.. u realise that they are better off in other things...
then if there are not enuff candidates, i have to search thru data base one by one... thats the sibei time consuming part... u read, u call and then u have to fit...
after that u send the profiles to ur client and wait for feedback.. meanwhile, u gotta review all the resumes that are piling up in ur inbox... everyone may be a slight hope to me.. someone in there must be the one im lookin for... argh...
u know... i have been spending time after work, at home doing my office work... and i gotta go to bed by 1130pm (latest).. i try to sleep by 1030pm... but i always allocate 1 hr to FB.. hahaha... nope, i cant seem to kick that habit.. i still got shopping sprees to read... (nope, cant skip that either... if i read on weekends, i might miss my favourite SPREE!!) hahaha... this is my only entertainment after work ok??
by the time i finish my office work, its like... 9-ish to 10 liao... i gotta shower.. laze arnd, surf arnd.. then i must sleep... everyday, even after work is so so rush for me lei.. so so rush... im appreciating Fridays MORE and MORE...
yay!! monday, my new colleague will be in liao.. i hope i wont feel so lonely...
and i MUST get the time management right... i mean, i know that everything i do is so time consuming, but theres gotta be a way la...
i cant set from wat time to wat time do what thing.. i must set a target.. like.. everyday review how many resumes, how many profiles sent, how many positions opened, how many prospects contacted... if i set by time, i cannot hit my target for SURE. cause every task IS TIME CONSUMING....
oh ya... anyone got lobang on food industry listing?? Mfg of food, anything connected to food... i need a listing.. i have tons of candidates in this industry.. and i need to make good use of what i have...
plus, i realise that i have tons of friends in IT.. and good mgmt level in IT.. i feel that they jus need a good place to rest in.. and they will excel... but luck is not by their side...
FIGHTING!!!

almost knocking off.. another colleague said (in front of boss again)... "dun come tmr la..." then i jokingly say, "u scared i spread to u ah?" then she say.. "dun test our immune system"
i wanted to go work today... but after thinking of all the things that were said... i told my boss that... i wanted to come... but... i scared if next few days someone were to fall sick.. then everyone will start blaming each other... so i might as well not come.. i dun wanna be a hero lor..

Tiring but Fun
By
Serene Tan at 9:48 PM
Work is happy for me everyday... thou pretty hard to learn by myself.. but im catching up... fell sick.. haha i tot im having H1N1 wor! hahaha.. heng choy.. jus normal flu and cough...
Im start to get the hang of reading resumes.. which i feel that reading resumes needs a lot of skills.. u need to make sure that the candidate fits to ur position/requirements perfectly... cannot short of this or short of that... when we ask clients for requirements, we have to be damn detail...
not easy to be a hunter... the difference in terms of work compared to a recruiter... hmmm.. recruiter jus submit whatever they can find similar to the requirements... but we make sure that the candidate fit perfectly or at least 80% - 90%... and that person has good records so that s/he wont job hop or fail to complete task or.. working quality is not up to standard...
we must also make sure that they genuinely are sincere of changing... cause if they are not.. the rate of dropping out is very high...
not easy to find good candidates... everything is not easy la... stress is stress.. cause i dunno which one to prioritise and which way to go.. but im slowly getting the clearer picture....
yawns...
i have to sleep by 1130 today and make sure i wake up in time.. keke... jus took medicine... im on 2 days mc but i need to work to catch up and learn fast....
oh ya... if u guys are looking for jobs... email me ok? er... drop me a msg on the tagboard.. i let u know how to contact me.. :)

So many things to do...
By
Serene Tan at 10:33 PM
Suppose to complete a list of candidates for my client by tomorrow for the tuesday appointment. Then i have to start doing the summary of not more than one page report about what i have learnt over the past 8 days at work. Appointment on tuesdays at 10.30am, i will cold call some clients and do a phone interview with some candidates. Fix appointments for next week so that my new colleague can join us for my first cold appointment... :) Thats my job for the week! Starting to get exciting! Im loving it....
Hmm.. everything's ok for me... 杀人放火金腰带,修桥补路无尸骸.. sometimes this is the way of life but i think the rest of us should learn to open our eyes... dun pretend to imagine that things are alright and forget about things that might have happened... at least for me, i have never forgotten and i know i cannot forgive this person. everyone know that i seldom "mark" someone till the end... i never hated anyone or hold gruges.. but... this one person... i will not forget how he cut the rope.
anyway! happy week ahead.. happy things... (except the lunch part) hahaha... but for another week only... then new colleague is joining us... i feel that she is our kind of pple.. i think god is starting to shower me with tons of blessings... i will treasure and i will hold on to this blessings... of coz at work is good, at home also must be good... so i hope bb can come along the way.. hopefully deliver a healthy bb next year... so this year we must work hard... but take it easy, we cant jus hope and not work hard and things will happen... if we want things to happen, we have to have an open heart and work hard to make it happen right? :)
I hope this marks the beginning of the happiest and most fortunate days in my life. The sorrows have ended and god will bless me always... :)
im planning to my holiday in december!! cruise with alvin!!! :) why december? cause CEO say... there are 3 phrases as a headhunter... 6 mths, 3 years and forever... once i cross 6 mths, there is a high possibility that i can hit 3 years and once i hit 3 years.. being a hunter will be my life long career.
i hope this will be the last profession i will be in... cause im loving every minute as a hunter.

She came.. hahahhaa
its due to the antibiotics that i had when i had that infection on my tummy the other day that messed up the system... kekekekeke
im used to it le la... god is nice to me, but always set this kinda tests for me one... so im pretty used to it... no feeling... but now the aftermath... DEAD SHAG..
y am i not upset? hmm.. cause im contented at this point of time that i have a good job... when i go home after work, i have someone to sleeep with me by my side... in future, when i have my own $$, i can go holiday... Soon, i can afford many things that i had been resisting to get for the past 8 mths... Simple but sufficient for now.
Haiya, dun worry for me ok? dun feel wasted also... i believe that those watching me up there will plan something out for me... first a better marriage, then a good long rest, and then a good job, soon good pay, and then BABY shall come... wait wait wait...
after i start to work, having a baby is something im not rushing for. i know baby will come... im not impatient about that liao... after a new job, like i said, the workaholic me will tuck myself into work and priorities change... but i wont give up having a baby de la... i want 4 lei... LOL
slowly lor.. now this year then next year... anything la... it will come... earn some $$ first... kekeke.. i wanna go holiday lei but after 6 mths la... keke... this mth buy PC for ah lao first... he is going crazy thinking of silly ways to make the PC faster.. kekeke
whatever it is.. i hope everyone still come back to my blog and be my listening ear ok?

Day 2 as a hunter
By
Serene Tan at 10:00 PM
mRushed to work and heng i wasnt late... i ta bao a puff from coffee bean and cheong upstairs.. and i realise that im the first in the office... jus as i thought i can IDO...my boss came in.. haha.. ask me to the room and teach me how to specify the type of sales pple my client requires.. so as to
1. understand what kinda candidate i shud be looking at
2. knowing the position held in the coy
3. helping the candidates to understand more so that they wont choose the wrong job
now then i realise how much i can learn from this job.. the knowledge that every working person is hoping to know.. esp those job seekers... from 2 days of exp... i only can say...
1. do a neat resume
2. sell urself in the resume
3. attract me when ur resume (not with ur pic)
4. tell me what u have done in ur career
im loving the job.. i yearn to go work everyday so that i can quickly pick up all the things i gotta learn and be a real profession head hunter... i envy my seniors.. they seem to have all the knowledge at their finger tips... they schedule candidates, look for positions, seek opportunities.. and reaping what they sow for the past few years... now, their biz rolls in naturally..
but i tell myself, as a hunter, i want to open new accounts constantly and generate sales from both sides and retaining customers.. and this is what i always wanted to do... retaining my clients and make them a auto sale for myself...
im very happy i got this job.. am thankful that my ceo didnt look down on me because of my qualifications and accepted me... my colleagues are working for a long long time with my ceo.. most of them worked with him for a decade. that goes to show that his a good boss...
im having lunch alone everyday for an hour.. this is the only part im not used to... :(
but overall.. its more positive than negative la... im slowly getting used to the coy... and im sure.. one day, the office will be damn noisy because of me.. hahhahahaha.. i cannot dun talk.. i will die... im a sales person... if i dun talk.. i might as well die... and its been like that for 2 days... my colleagues dun talk internally too..!! all of them jus do their work..
dun start imagining that my office is like other recruitment agencies... there aint visitors or 10 chairs with job seekers waiting for their turn to be interviewed.. nope. thats not the case... pple who walk in for the interview are all professionally dressed, and when u see them, u know they are potential and good candidates...
because my seniors are all old birds in this industry.. add up the handful of colleagues... they have a total of 61 years of experience... imagine how much i can learn from them.. and they are not selfish! :)
now, i jus have to self study.. go borders, library over the weekends to borrow HRM books... know abt what kinda pple i shud be seeing, what is the hot catch in the mkt... learn learn learn
im loving the job.. and for the first time.. i dun go office because i wanna have fun with my colleagues... despite the boring lunch and the solo smoke breaks... im finally gg to work because i love my JOB! and i wanna succeed and be someone in this industry.
i know i got a lot of work to do to be that "someone"... but i will go all out to achieve that... learn learn learn... i tell myself.. everyday i go to work, i have to be a sponge... soon, i will learn to apply what i understand.. improve and excel.
Pray hard that i do well, pray hard that there will be 2 lines the next time.
kekekekeke...
i wanna be a fortunate person...
1. understand what kinda candidate i shud be looking at
2. knowing the position held in the coy

Serene Tan at 5:20 PM
I was teaching my nephew ting xie... and there were some words that he jus need to recognize only... so after completing the writting part.. i was asking him to read the "recognize words" section for me... then Alvin suddenly ask him to take a paper to write down those words... (for fun, jus to test how well he remember).. after 4 words.. we sense something wrong.. so we took the paper to see what he drew wrote...
so i tot he was jus playing a fool... then he showed me this...


thinking what words we asked him to write??
鸟。。羊。。 木。。 人
thinking which is which??
the image shows X X X and below a bird right? so obviously the bird is 鸟
X (羊) X (人) X (木)
GOT IT??
and hor, we didnt take the text book to test him... his given a list of words to learn given by the teacher.. he didnt open his text book either.. so it was all pure memory..
kaoz.. i almost gave him a good one... hahaha... what can we say now lei? but he actually remembers wat his teacher taught him in class... so its a good thing... haha..
oh, btw, his P1...

Serene Tan at 9:33 PM
Just as i blogged about how good god is to me.. I happened to read the only "enemy"'s FB profile... and im thankful that god hasnt forgotten about him... Everytime i think of him, i tell myself not to curse him.. LOL.. cause its not good to curse, let god help me... and yeah, seems like some impt things he have is breaking down and things aint gg smoothly for him...hahaha... *slap face*
I will remember who helped me when i had the worse times to cope... and i will also remember who pushed me even deeper into that hole. Not that i dun wanna do anything about it... but i guess god has more plans for him...
Im planning to go Expo to buy bed protectors this coming weekend... hmm... but this 2 weeks' budget is a bit tight... hmm... how how? im planning to get a mattress after buying the PC for dear.. these are the 2 impt things on my list... haha.. then i shall need to save up for CNY ang bao liao!!! hahaha.. last year was pretty tight.. cause i left the job in nov.. so i shant let history repeat...
Not forgetting im gg to get the starhub's $500 voucher.. im thinking of getting another phone for my spare line.. speaking of which... see... i have a pretty nice number now... and i had been using that for sales... and i have a supp line from starhub.. also quite nice but not as nice as the current one...

1. use the current one as my sales number so that whenever that phone rings, i know its work
2. use the supp line as my sales line since all my friends are contacting me via the current no.?
i wanna have a smooth sailing new year!

Empty Hope
By
Serene Tan at 4:47 PM
Hahaha.. i thought i was pregnant.. when i tested.. 2 lines then become 1 line...
at first i was so happy telling my family... then it turned 1 line...
sigh...
althou auntie havent come and find me for 3 days... but still... im not pinning too much hopes... To be honest, when i found this job as a hunter... im very excited, very energetic to move on and move up...
I even plan to have half yearly holidays with Alvin and short trips with him.. i want to explore different places with him. I even imagined myself not having kids when im old, i prepared myself at least. And im ready to be happy with my husband.
When at first i saw 2 lines, the first thought was my new job. If say i found a simple job, i wont be that worried, the most i work until i cannot handle then i leave. But this hunter job... im enjoying it even before i started it... Every night since i signed the papers, i have been thinking how to start prospecting... how to make that start.
Of coz i was happy for that mere minutes, i was thinking... "finally..."
but...
pple who know me knows that if im devoted to my job, i can give my life to work. because alvin is supporting me and understanding my character... I had no probs juggling with work and marriage... and now that i know i found a job that is something i asked for..
1. office based (jus in case i get preg again)
2. comm/sales (front line and stretch my dollar)
my buddies shud know that i was hoping for the best of both worlds in my new job... but i couldnt seem to find something that i like for the last 6 mths or so... until they called me up...
i feel that god is very fair to me... i suffered the loss of my son, but i salvaged my marriage.
i lost my job and couldnt find one, i was in mental unstability.. and the marriage supported me thruout that down period...
i tell myself that i shall wait, i shant be impatient. even if im suppose to wait for a year, i will jus wait. and as soon as i wan to go find jobs, they called me up. without much effort of searching, i got a job that for now, looks good enough for me. A job that might be able to let me and alvin travel arnd, and explore diff things... A better future for us...
What else do i have to complain?
Even when pple are having 2 or 3 kids, i shant take it to heart, i shudnt be jealous. Cause god has given me a fair share of blessings. Kids for me, perhaps its not time yet, maybe god is finding the perfect child for me. And i tell myself, i shud wait. Jus like how i waited for my job and leave them to god. Im leaving the pick of my children to god, and hope god can find the child for us soon and please dun take him away again.

Serene Tan at 7:10 PM
Im a HUNTER!!
*LoL*
Tmr is the day when i sign along the dotted line..
Today, when i was talking to the CEO, quite stressed.. but he was very nice, he started talking to me about mobile phone, black berry... Singtel & Starhub before we go into the whole situation... keke... Imagine a headhunting CEO interviewing for his own employee... kaozzz... stress...
Then i saw magazines on the rack, and when i saw his face on "The Peak" front cover.. i lagi stress.. haha... but then.. he was nicer than i thought.. seriously. His got this fatherly figure, a very open mind and likes to give pple opportunities and chances...
I remember he told me at the end of the meeting.. "Just remember, dun give up. Whatever things that might seem bad, jus dun give up. For ur mom, family, husband and children to be.. dont give up.."
Yeah, Mr CEO... i wont la.. dun worry... it took me 6 mths to stand up.. and when i decided to stand up, we met up... Thanks for opening that door...
Well.. dunno what the future holds for me... but... i believe all these are planned by God... I will take up the job and work hard..
YAY!! Finally i can start imagining buying my working attire with my own money!!!! I promise Alvin.. First pay, i will buy him a PC... To thank him for "feeding" his wife for the last 6 mths... 辛苦你了,但我知道,等待是值得的。
