Singapore High Court?

Singapore High Court?

I am DAMN MAD now... Some China People is using the name of Singapore High Court to con now! Please practice caution and let everyone know about it...

What happened?
I am still sleeping, since i was told to go work at 1pm by my boss... at about 1030am, today (26/12) my residential phone rang, and i picked up.... i was received by a chinese voice recorded message, saying something like this "这是Singapore High Court 语音录音,您有一则讯息。更多详情请按9" (This is Singapore High Court voice recorded message, you have an information. For more detail please push 9). I didn't think much, thought High Court so i pressed 9. Then i was pulled thru a music - Show Luo's Hui Se Gong Jian, then i was finding it weird... High Court use music that is so not "official"? Then a Chinese Woman answered the call, she said "Singapore High Court" and the rest she spoke chinese in the rich china-influenced slang. Asked me is this number is residential or company number. Then tried to ask for my full name... I asked if i could receive the message via voice recorded message again..then she insist i need to provide my full name. but before she could get my full name, I disrupted the conversation by speaking English to her saying "It okay, I will be expecting a letter from High Court, if its important, I think this is another scam, BYEBYE!"

I'm damn angry with those cheaters! I received phone calls from China-people via hp before and was nearly cheated without any prior information about the scams. These idiots are using "Singapore High Court" a high authority's name to cheat.... They will not be forgiven...! I've tried to contact the newslines but it seems that they are not answering... So i had no choice but to post here! I suspect that they are using the name Singapore High Court, either out of convenient and thinking that its an authority, the people who answer to phone calls will be worried if they had done anything wrong... or they are an actual company by the name of "Hi Court", "Hi Cord", or "高庭", "高格"! If you know anyone working in the press or media, please let them know to expose this scam before people get cheated!

I got to rush and prepare for work... Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Finally Working!

Finally Working

after a month of job seeking, i've secured a job... in fact i've been working for a week liao... i'm working as a recruitment officer at an insurance firm... the job was introduced by my financial advisor... since it was like my first office bound job, I was preparing myself for the interview - buying shirt & pants and doing my 'homework' on the company...

Prior the interview, i did a personality test(DISC test)... then during the interview, the sales manager was like trying to coax me join to be financial advisor instead of recruitment officer, saying that my profile suits to do the job, as i was more of an "I" person... kept persuading me and persuading me... but i was firmed of my decision, and i was sort of prepared that I will be proached to do sales as i approached one of my volunteer friend who is a financial advisor.... anyway, i insisted that i'm only interested in the recruitment officer job... and he offered me the job immediately... i was surprised but happy that i finally found a job...

However, these few day of working, i realised that what my volunteer friend told me was true... the manager is trying to make me into a financial advisor, which i'm really reluctant to do now.... To me, if i ever be a financial planner/advisor, i'll probably do it for the rest of my life...becos i think it is my responsibility to be in the line after my clients signed policies from me... i am the one who is in charge, and i serve till the policy ends... I strongly believe in after sales services.... Now that I'm still young, I don't want to be stucked in it...so I really don't want to be one now... another thing about the job that is holding me back is that i had bad experience with MLM, and there are some similarities in both jobs in terms of marketing... so i'm really not comfortable about it...

These few days have been interesting... as i got to meet alot of people for interview and got to understand some people's characteristics... i went into looking at gestures and content of conversation to find out more abt those candidates... i also saw some of the worse resumes in my life.... the kind of photos they post totally fail one lor... anyhow take, must well don't put photo... the negative side is that the manager isn't really supportive about things i do...for example i wanted candidates to draw... he said "draw WHAT?! don't need to do that..." i just wanted to pick up more hints about the candidate, but all he is interested about is whether they wanna join us... sianz... then he is trying to send me out on streets to do 'survey' to get people come for interview... this was what i did last time... i hated it... every kid can do it... i think its kind of 'downgrading' to do it... i really don't like to do things that i got sick doing... last time really every night for 3 - 4 months, kept standing on streets in shirt and pants to pester people to do survey... agh~!

Anyway, i think i gonna endure lah... need the experience so that the next job will be easier to hook... sianz... i'm damn tired everyday...~ and on hand i have the volunteer xmas project... not really getting enough help... think its gonna be quite a sucky one... argh... i cannot let my project be yucky and sucky.... 1 more week to make it better!!! alright, thats all for my ranting... hope i can find time and chance to blog...[my 'good' brother has been hogging the computer and has not been working for dont know how long]... i shall not start another ranting... i better end here...! FULLSTOP
