Today morning I went out with my friend, Chia Keat, for a walk in market. He mentioned that he was offered for a job and would be heading for the interview in the afternoon and I asked was there any vacancy for part-timer, yes, there were plenty of vacancies.
He asked me join him for the interview in the afternoon together, I decided to have a look for the job offered. Without any preparation, I went to the office with Chia Keat and Han Yang with only a piece of photocopied IC.
Adecco is a human resources company from Switzerland and it employs 700,000 temporary workers and contractors, and has 28,500 employess !
Wow, I never knew it is a big company until I reached home searching it via Wikipedia.
The person in charged is friendly, three of us filled in personal details before doing the TEST. Oh test? Yes ! We were given some typing test before being briefed for the detail of the job. The test was basically easy but it was quite challenging and exciting. One of the tests was to type the exact numeric digits showed on the screen, it determines your speed and accuracy. (Too bad, no pictures to show)
As the result,
I got the fastest speed = 10,000+(digits), 200+(errors) an hour
Han Yang = 7,000+(digits), 100+(errors)
Chia Keat = 5,000+(digits), ERROR FREE !!
Oh My God, I can't believe my friend actually made it without error. Even he is a little bit slow, but error free is the most important things for the employers. They don't want us to key in the wrong digit as we will be dealing with digits and cheque.
Unisys, another big company.
That is the company we will be sent over to do data entry work. The person told us that the environment is very strict, not much talking and all the employees are committed to their works. That can be understood as they need to clear all the bank cheques in short hours, everyone will just work work and work !
After being briefed about the working hours and pay, I started to hesitate whether to work or not. The working hour usually is between 3pm to 7pm, average 4 hours a day, Monday to Friday with RM5.50 an hour before EPF and SOCSO deduction. This awkward working hours will ruin my whole day.
In conclusion, working a month earns me additional RM400 in Adecco. In order to earn RM400, I have to forgo my Friday teaching work which almost double the pay from Adecco.
I don't think I am going to trade my precious holiday for RM400 in that working environment. Maybe I miss the opportunity of learning something, but I prefer to utilize my time on my personal interest...
My one month time doesn't not worth ONLY RM400 ! It worth a lot more than that !
