My company asked me to set up a new team of around 15 ppl in kuching. The HR helped me to advertise in Jobstreet and we only receive ar 10 applications in ar 10 days. Last week, i called up 6 persons for interview, and only 3 persons showed up.<br /><br />1st girl came in n asked abt the job position, then straight away said she was not interested n left. the 2nd one went thru interview but was required to submit her photo n some related documents the next day, didn&#39;t do so. I waited whole day for her n tested to see whether she would take the initiative to call me even she was not coming, but no response fr her.... With this kind of attitude, how am i going to hire her&#33;&#33; The third one is a fresh grad, who said he wanna think 1st b4 he can giv me an answer whether wanna do sales or not, &quot;even&quot; before we decide to hire him. He thought it is an office job, but we have stated very clearly in Job description that it is a &quot;sales&quot; job which require staff to meet customers &quot;outside&quot; regularly. He said it will be &quot;no face&quot; if going out to do sales aft grad fr uni.... n prefer to hav a &quot;stay in office&quot; job if possible. Really, dunno what to say..................<br /><br />well, i really don&#39;t know what is in ppl mind nowadays. When i talked with my frens here, they also mentioned that it was quite hard to get pp here too. My fren&#39;s office wanna hire a clerk for 6 months, but still cant get a decent ppl to work. Some showed up on the 1st day, then 2nd day simple MIA, didnt even bother to answer call oso.. ...I thought w the economy currently, it will be easier to get ppl to work nowadays n they will treasure every chance they can get. But the truth told me opposite......... I really wonder when i will be able to get my 15 positions filled up then. Hopefully, 2nd batch of applicants will be &quot;Better&quot; in quantity n quality.<br /><br />Any sarawakians or kuching ppl share the same problems?? kutao Jobs &amp; Careers Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:00:45 +0800
