Achievers are always open for challenges Life can get tough at times. It can get tougher when someone assigns something all of a sudden especially to me, a person who used to prepare and finish tasks ahead. When I was assigned to the assignment of Chemical Engineer for one of my Japanese client, I was dumbfounded firstly as it was very last minute and secondly, I know nothing and had zero interest for it. But little did I knew that if I had the interest to learn, it could lead me to achieve tremendously. In the case of my Japanese client, I started off with a heavy heart and unhappy face. Initially I did not manage to get any qualified candidates for my client, everything seems to be like a waste of time for this position. But when my leader had so much of faith in me and solely rely on me for this, I had no choice but to not disappoint her and started to read up about Chemical Engineer, understand from candidates about the common job scope and learnt from client about what they require. Likewise, they say, I can’t believe my own eyes, I was literally astonished to hear the comment from my client that I had done a great job in shortlisting candidates and those who attended for interview were really qualified in some way. My client who planned to hire 1 headcount changed his mind to hire 2 headcounts due to the extremely qualified candidates whom I presented which made them really happy. Those praises aren’t going to stand alone as reputation, but as a motivation and has taught me that, achiever has to take the risks and challenges otherwise you see no good results. Putting in real effort will never fail us in anything we do.   Written on 12thApril 2017 by Harshini read more

“What is my Job Market Value?”   Being a Recruiter, most often than not, I am asked by a lot of candidates “What is my market value?” For this, I am unable to come up with a perfect answer, instead, I have a lot of questions in my mind. Let me share with you of what are these doubts that I have:- Scenario # 1: An Accounts Manager, drawing RM 6300 being head-hunted by another company for the same position at higher offer had just tendered his resignation but being countered offer by the incumbent employer for RM 10,000 with the condition to oversee another operation department (e.g. purchasing department). He was overjoyed, so much delighted that he almost withdrew his resignation. In such a circumstance, based on simple mathematics, do you think the Manager worth RM10, 000 or RM 5000 (assuming RM 5000 for each department duties/responsibilities)? My Doubt # 1: Is this a simple mathematic question with simple answer? Scenario # 2: A Production Manager, drawing RM 8000 with annual bonus track record hovering between 2 to 16 months for the past 6 years or averagely RM 5000 per month from the annual bonus distribution for the past 6 years. Do you think that the candidate worth RM 13,000 (RM8k + RM5k) or RM 9600 (RM8000 x20% of increment normally)? From candidate’s perspective, he worth RM 13,000 and that’s the reason he is getting averagely RM 13,000. On the other hand, from the employer’s perspective, because my company is performing well, hence, you are getting RM 13,000. My Doubt # 2: Is this value depends on company business performance or solely depends on your own work performance? Scenario # 3: A General Manager, drawing RM 15,000 per month, performing the role of coordination between production workers and machines maintenance as well as reporting the details to the business owner feels the job satisfaction is not as high as an Operation Manager of another company which he ended up drawing RM 10,000, where he can make a lot of impactful operational decisions. My Doubt # 3: Is the so-called market value determined/judged by own self or by the employer? Last but not least, is "Value" in the eyes of beholder? Not to mention those who work in Singapore, the value differences is simply due to CURRENCY effect. By Grace Sia on 13 January 2018 read more

通过面谈/电话访谈/邮件的沟通 在工作上，生活中，当遇到需要和对方沟通时，你会选择通过邮件（信息），电话还是面谈呢？ 我喜欢通过邮件/信息通知或者联络，但是这个方法虽然方便也容易传递错误的消息。 记得有一次，我通过邮件传达一个信息，但是也许用词不当，没能清楚的表达我的想发进而导致一些错误的发生。虽然这次的影响不大，但是谁能保证下次能够如此幸运呢？ 我的上司一直在鼓励我“开口”说话，能够面对面交谈是最好，在没办法的情况下，也确保尽量使用电话沟通。每一次我都会通过电话和候选人进行沟通，我一直避免邀请他们面谈（初步面试），对于缺乏经验的我，实在是不晓得该说些什么才能引导出候选人的特质，以加深对他的了解， 从而看出他对于该工作的契合度。然而，我发现通过电话面试没办法判断出候选人（D）是否与顾客的要求匹配。在上司的建议下， 我邀请了D 并与他进行面试。在面谈中，我能够观察对方与我的眼神交流，能够更加准确的判断出他是否诚实（真诚）的回答我的问题。甚至于，我发现候选人会在面谈中轻易的放下“警戒心”，更愿意分享他们的生活，也因此让我从而发现他们的潜质。D 并没有很高的学历 (SPM 文凭）。 但是通过面试，我发现他拥有身为销售员的潜在特质，有思想，能说会道，有影响力。 虽然过去的相关经验较少，但是我相信这个潜质将会在面试中被发现。因此我把我在面试中观察的结果传达给顾客知道，希望他们愿意邀请他来参加面试。 果真，在D和客户面试后， 他们很满意他的表现， 并且决定聘请他加入他们的团队。试着回想一下，你较常选择通过邮件/电话/面对面沟通呢？哪个是最有效率的沟通方式呢？                                                                                                拟于2017年12月11日     陈欣怡 read more

What goes around, comes back around Have you ever heard of the saying “what goes around comes around”. Well, don’t only associate it with Karma but it applies in all of the contexts. I noticed these days, when it comes to break-up in a relationship, divorce, or while leaving a company to join a new one, little do we care to leave a good impression / relationship. The process often leaves with bitter memory which we will never be able to reminisce in the future. A simple example would be that, while breaking up with partner, do we care to leave a good impression by breaking apart in nicer way, or by fighting and leaving a bad impression. Trust me, the world is very small that one small action which you do may spark and burn the whole forest. It is very crucial to always leave a good impression even though you’re not at fault because this small good deed will take you to places as well as it helps to avoid bad / fake news about you from spreading. This does not mean that you need to fake yourself and try to be nice, but genuinely being nice will not cost you so much right. Moreover, the good deeds you do will definitely bring you a good name. Recently, I had an experience whereby one of my candidates almost got hired by an employer but unfortunately, after the reference checking, things got haywire and they decided to not hire due to some reasons. Now, let’s not beat around the bush. What I am trying to hint here is about the reference check. Have you ever gone through a situation where a potential employer requested for reference check from your ex-companies? During this period of time, you would realize how important it is to have a good reputation even though you’re no longer there. So, let’s not think about the present only and let’s try to foresee the consequences of it in the future.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Written on June 2017 by Harshini read more

面试中显现的个性 面试往往是在招聘工作中最费神的工作，不管是基于申请者的角度，亦或者是招聘者的角度。大多数的社会新鲜人最为紧张的也是这个环节，当然也有“不怕”面试的勇士。面试顾名思义，就是面对面的考试，过程中，你的一举一动都会被严密的审查，你的任何反应都逃不过经验老道的面试官，他们的法眼。我曾经和我的同事一起把两名申请会计岗位的候选人送去了面试，两人在同天但是不同时间进行了面试，代号为A 与B。面试半个小时后，面试官表示两个人的实力其实不相上下，但是最后他们决定聘请A为他们的会计专员，其理由竟是面试中，A 所表现出的个性是属于有原则，会与他们据理力争的个性，当然这也大大增加了争执的可能性；B 则为绝对顺从型，但是看似稍微迷糊。与拍档讨论后，他们觉得A 在个性上更符合他们的 “理想型”，因此决定选择A。通过一个半个小时的面试，竟然能够了解那么多，我们到底在面试中无意识的透露了多少东西给面试官。面试官又如何能够在提问你的同时，观察及注意那么多的细节进而推敲出你是什么样的人？ 你面试中展现的个性亦可以成为你的阻力或者是动力。不同人有不同的见解，我认为是缺点的地方，有些时候反而因此获得面试官的青睐，反之亦然。影响面试最终的结果也许不是面试中你的侃侃而谈，对答如流，而是你无意识所展现出来的你潜在的个性。 拟于2017年4月10日 陈欣怡 read more
