I was looking job via the websites on Internet, and I got two replies. One from an unknown person asking for my contact number and another one emphasized that his news is not a scam and the job requires fully dedication and patience. For the latter, I was feeling very suspicious because none of the thieves will declare themselves as thieves at the beginning. So I went to check online and found that this earnparttimejobs.com is an unreliable site which requires you to find a lot of members to join the site but doesn’t pay the people who were working for them. So, ignore the latter, and here comes the story of how I met the unknown person and what had happened today… … =)
The person published news in asiaparttime.com saying that need people to work for an education programme (what general ksd thingy) by mei kheng. Today after I received the phone call by her, I went back to search my history again… … *hmmm, sent out a few resume and cant remember who is she… * but the news has been removed. She said wanna meet me up by three o’clock, and even let me set the place to meet-up (everything also thinking for me… … she was acting like afraid to lose me… … =o). So I called my dear and informed him that maybe there is a job for me. “And if she was a cheater and kidnapped me… … please dial 010*******.”… … I told my dear… …^^
My dear was getting worry. He asked me to ask my friends to accompany me there, maybe ah zak or daniel. At the end ended up three person accompanied me there, which were ah zak, daniel and ah yin. But the girl was late due to take the wrong road. By the time waiting for her, I have made a few prediction:
1) If the girl come with another senior, it must be direct sell.
2) The girl is shivering when she called me, she was too afraid to lose me.
3) She is being too polite to me and she sounds young… … again, maybe she is a direct salesperson… …
I’m not sure what we had spoke… … but when the girl showed up with another guy, well, my first prediction was right. They reluctant to tell me the job scope and a “senior” asked us to spare them one and half an hour to explain the whole thing. It was 330pm and since I already knew their tricks, I told them that I have to be back by 415pm and 430pm. They kept going with their craps, and used the same strategies as what I had met before.
First, they will show you the product they are selling.
Second, they will show you the newspaper/ magazine about them.
Third, they will tell you that their customers are very satisfy with their products.
Forth, they will tell you that they are not direct sell like Amway, etc.
Fifth, they still do not want to tell you what should you do!!!
I kept on looking at their clock, time flies. By 4pm, when the guy want to drink his juice again, I turned to ah yin and ah zak, asking them ” Do you still want to continue listening?”. I wasn’t sure how was their expression when they heard this, but since ah yin and ah zak said just let them to continue, therefore I remained sitting there.
And FINALLY, there comes to the job scope. You have to pay in order to buy an account for their education programme, and sell it out.
They said:
* “If plan A is not working for you, why not you choose plan B?” (Goshh… … I never try plan A, how can you say it isn’t working for me?)
* “How are you going to compete with your coursemates? Every year there are a lot of people studying the same thing as you looking for the same job.” (At least we have knowledge and not only depends on mouth and luck.)
* “You can’t sure that you will get first class by studying.” (Yea right. But that is you, not me.)
*”In this society, 80% people is working for another 20%.” (You also working for others what, dumb ass.)
*”There are six school using our system now.” (A shocking statistic, from 1999 until 2011 only got six schoold… … kelian… …)
*”There is potential for the system and you should able to foresee it.” (I can, but I already told you at the very very beginning that I do not want to get myself involve!)
*”This is not direct sell because we are not selling products like Amway.” (I told them, “You are both the same, just that you are selling education programme (which is your product) and they are selling their products.”)
*”If you achieve this, you will get RM40,000++; If you achieve this, RM60,000++; And this, RM100,000++.” (Yea right… … *yawning)
*”Only by today I have to talk to 20 tables of people.”(When I think back now, I think that couldn’t be possible. Everyday 24 hours, one session like mine already took your 2 hrs ++ to travel here and crap… you over bragging.)
This incident can be ended normally. However, when this “senior” knew that it was impossible for us to join. He shooted me that next time don’t ask whether others want to listen or not, “If you are not please, you can just leave.“, he said.WOOWW!!!
I tried to remain polite and apologized for offended him. But I also told him that, “I was disappointed and I already told mei kheng that I do not want to get involve in direct sale, but this is no much different with direct sale.”. Both of us smiling when talking to each other… … but actually… … XDDDD… …
To all the direct salesperson, please do not use the same strategies again and again.
To the “senior”, you already made the wrongly step by asking three of us sitting together and listen to you. The direct salesperson that I met before never do this.
Last but not least, to mei kheng, please stop shivering. I can feel your fears… …
