Looking for Accounts Assistant - Day 1

Yeah! my recruitment drive start again.
One of Accounts girl went missing after first month salary.
Too tough I guess!!!
Young generation nowadays even when they need money to survive they still opt not to work.
They just could not take up the challenge and go for it when people are willing to train them.

Anyway, end of last week start calling the candidate but I gave up after the second call.
mmmmm... yeah! I am still a human with feeling and know how to give up.
My second call goes ....

Candidate : I am not looking for job and I never apply...

I go arrrggghhhh!!!!!
Is it mean I am the one who applied?????
Arrrgghhhhh!!!!!
Thats it!

I end up change strategy.
Shortlisted the potential candidates then use email and sms function from jobstreet.

You either accept or decline my invitation.

I seriously want to die interviewing this people at Day one.
What happen????
Attitude problem or education system???
They can't even converse in English properly as Graduate in Bachelor Degree.

Tomorrow I hope to get better one but I am loosing my hope and don't put high expectation anymore.
I told my Assistant, I am lowering dowm my expectation or I will die inside that interview room.

Tonight is Arsenal vs Harimau Malaya.
I am not a football fan but for our Malaysia boys!

Hitam kuning hitam kuning
Go Tiger Go Tiger!!!

Hope they could score some goals. Don't need to win but one goal for Malaysia will be good!
