Today a friend of me called me out for tea so I asked him to meet me at 1 Utama Starbucks. He called me a few days back to inform me that he quit his job, which was my previous company, and asking me if I knew of anyone looking for sales force.
So today I just had tea with him and see what’s his requirements on job so I can keep a lookout for him. He knew I have a pretty good contacts but clearly he was onto something else!!!
He was asking me a favor to introduce him to some jobs, and he is expecting an easy life, no need hardwork and all that crap! He didn’t even expect to have interviews, so he can just waltz into the company and start working.
That’s is totally unrealistic thinking so I spent a good hour explaining to him that I cannot do that, and I do not have the authority to do that as well. Furthermore, I also explained there’s no free lunch in this world and he has to know how to work hard to achieve what he wants to achieve. What I could do was to introduce him and if he will be selected for interview and get the job or not is up to God’s work.
I wonder how can he make such expectations as if I can get him into any company he likes. But it is just so unrealisitc expectations and I don’t think there’s anyone who can help him if he keeps expecting things like that.
Anyway, I told him that it was a good thing to leave that crappy company because there’s no prospect in that company. In the company hierachy, there are more managers than staff, and those highest management likes to pretend that they know what is management, and always throwing those linggo to us, like profit margins, taxable income, net profit before tax (npbt) and all that crap, but they have no idea that they were just talking crap and what they said made no sense at all.
What’s worse is that the PJ office is targeting at a totally wrong market and industry! That’s why the company is not doing so well in terms of sales turnover but those managers, who want to save their own ass and play politics, is expecting a sky-high sales figure.
Sorry, I cannot provide free lunch. There’s only so much I can do and I cannot do the impossible.
