Job Fair
-
i went to a job fair recently and was given a job vacancy listing.
the jobs listed are all in the service and tourism line.
no wonder they have difficulty finding employees. 90% of the jobs pay much lower than $1500. and many of them pays less than $1k.
and all involves shift duties and weekends. -
Very tough to survive on that kind of pay. Seems to me cost of living and wages are moving in opposite directions.

job fair where?? can i find temp/part time jobs for students there??
-
i dont understand their mentality.
how do they expect to attract people with that kind of salary? -
no, all full time jobs only.Originally posted by The man who was death:job fair where?? can i find temp/part time jobs for students there??
why do you just approach those cafes for part time jobs? i am sure there are plenty for students. -
But those places pay little, and expect us to work shifts and do weekends.Originally posted by dragg:why do you just approach those cafes for part time jobs? i am sure there are plenty for students.

As for the wages, it is very low -
i thought most people work at retail or factory for part time jobs. most requires shift duties and weekends.Originally posted by ditzy:But those places pay little, and expect us to work shifts and do weekends. -

But that's exactly why they pay pittance.Originally posted by dragg:the nature of service jobs is already bad and unattractive. yet they pay pittance. Since it's so bad and unattractive and no one wants to take it. Why bother paying so much? -
Eventually it would mean brain drain to the industry... Still say the IR will boost it, haiz...Originally posted by ditzy:But that's exactly why they pay pittance. Since it's so bad and unattractive and no one wants to take it. Why bother paying so much? -
when the IR opens they will need even more people in the industry.

At the rate they are promoting the services industry, I won't be surprised that when the IR is set up, there will too many people in the service industry competing for those limited spots in the IR, causing a huge imbalance in demand and supply.Originally posted by sbst275:Eventually it would mean brain drain to the industry...

And wages will spiral down even more, causing more people to come into sgforums to complain about the even Shittier pay in the services industry.
And then the goverment will tell these excess personel to upgrade themselves by taking up engineering courses or info tech or whatever is the flavour of the month.
And the cycle repeats itself again.
Suckers. -

Anyway, as for jobs, they have to remember they also need crews otherthan service staff -
What makes you think people from around the region and coming from as far as India and China won't be fighting with you for jobs in the IR?Originally posted by dragg:when the IR opens they will need even more people in the industry.
They ask for $800 a month.
You want to fight with them for that waiter's job at the IR? -
Thought they have already set a ceiling of 80% of staff are locals or something like that?Originally posted by charlize:What makes you think people from around the region and coming from as far as India and China won't be fighting with you for jobs in the IR?
