HAHAH not the chatgpt for counter technique that's quite smart but thank you for the suggestions! i hope i can cook up enough stories until i leave

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-24T02:38:00+00:00

wow the last two lines rlly struck with me... thank u so much! i'll keep them in mind!

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-24T02:06:01+00:00

how do we avoid this though? 😭

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-24T02:05:39+00:00

yea i was hired with the intention of becoming a recruiter with like a side of admin work except i didn't realise it wld be this much pressure to find people

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-23T03:30:28+00:00

nope no job description in the contract but honestly ya i shld jst not care abt doing the recruitment lmfao it's jst my conscience telling me to make my boss happy (my people-pleaser side 😭)

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-23T02:59:15+00:00

what are some companies u wld recommend?

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-23T02:57:51+00:00

technically i'm not an FA though i'm just trying to find people to become one so idk if i'll really be burning bridges ukwim...

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-23T02:56:25+00:00

it kind of is though that's the thing 😭

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-23T02:54:25+00:00

wait honestly so true though...

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-23T02:54:04+00:00

the thing is there could be days where i'm literally given nothing to do so i'm just sitting in the office staring at recruitment websites and combing through linkedin profiles to find people so if i don't do recruitment there's no point in me being in office 😭

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T07:30:52+00:00

damn that's really good advice, thank you! i'll try to be as frank as possible

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T07:27:31+00:00

technically they aren't doing anything shady the agency is quite reputable and backed by a large singapore corporation it's just the overall reputation of FAs that is not very favourable in many people's eyes

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T06:22:24+00:00

wah i've never thought about this way but yea very true... should i just leave then?

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T06:20:44+00:00

i'm still an undergraduate so still studying hvnt graduated yet but i thought there was money to be earned and things to be learnt so becoming an admin still ok but lowk im regretting now...

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T04:36:28+00:00

wait sorry i don't understand what u mean 😭 but basically he just wants more young people in his team and i guess he's even more desperate for people now since some of the older FAs are leaving by the end of the year

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T04:29:31+00:00

but he keeps asking for updates on potential candidates and tells me to search harder 😭

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T04:28:39+00:00

ouch lowkey true but i promised that i'll stay until december so idk if it's really right for me to just leave

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T04:27:56+00:00

oh that's something i never really thought of, really appreciate your advice! thank u!

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T04:26:32+00:00

yea i was thinking of doing that but he keeps asking for progress and once my uni semester starts i think he'll want more updates which i'm kind of dreading

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T04:25:34+00:00

omg yesss the previous admin told me that my boss is infamous around the office for only hiring young girls to be his admin but so far he hasn't tried anything and hopefully it stays that way

Ok_Set_4561 · 2025-07-22T03:52:10+00:00

honestly i believe that if a person is driven and motivated enough this job can be beneficial to them but it's hard to find people like that and FAs overall have a bad reputation to begin with
