Re: Interesting part time jobs? I worked part time as a cleaner before for one of the cleaning agencies. it was really a good experience for me and my friends, well anyway, it was their idea in trying out dis area where no young and educated singaporean will ever think of.
during the interview the guy asked us whether we wanna work outside, as in mobile, or wanna station permanently in some place. of course we wanna station permanently in some place la.. well.. i mean, we didnt wanna evryone to look at us and think, how come 3 young locals sweeping the roads and interchanges. hahahaaha
so we were like posted to a countryclub, where our job scope is to report to wrk at 645am, start wrk, which means sweep the main road in the club towards the entrance, empty rubbish from the whole of the country club's rubbish bins.. consolidate them, and emptying them into the rubbish chute, the ones u see at some hdb areas.. except that dis was a smaller one.. phew.. of cos we couldnt get used to the smell and the dirt and everything.. we had to unclog drains, wash the dishes, clean the kitchens, carry furniture, moving them here and there..
there are alot of foreigners there, mainly dutch, and locals as well.. and some of the locals asked us, how old are we, are we not studying, why wrk as a cleaner.. well, i just told them for the experience, and to experience what those banglas experienced.. anyway, there were bangla cleaners as well besides us, and we really got along well.. shared food, we treated one another, smoked together, and laughed.. hahaha.
anyway it was a really good experience, and a good exercise for me.. working hours are not too bad. 7-3pm, lots of rest time.. mon-fri. sometimes have to wrk on sats. hourly pay.. we actually got a little more than the banglas, prob cos we were educated and locals i guess.. but well.. i look up to the banglas for making such a great effort in making the whole area clean and sparkling. Don't worry about the people in your past, there's a reason they didn't make it to your future. |
