Who says a guy can't provide good service?I'm just just so so so so so so so so sick of visiting office by office, places by places, for interviews and interviews.
I'm sick of waiting for agencies to call me.. I just want to be more pro-active in find the jobs.
I know jobs will not just fall from the sky if I just sit at home everyday.
Went to the town council's jobseekers' corner to look for a temp job just now.
Huh? Town council?? WTF?
Yes, to avoid the constant nagging by my father and to give myself another avenue of finding a temp job, I went to the town council to try and find a job.
Well, as most have guessed it, most jobs are low-end ones. However, there is a two-week temp admin job at the CDC that might best suit me for the time being.
Most of the admin jobs available want females, or people with experience, which the bills I fit neither.
Why the **** do they want ONLY females in admin duties?? I don't understand.They can type faster?
I'm don't think there's a link between typing speed and gender. Any statistical studies to prove that?
They are more diligent?
Perhaps perhaps. Stereotypes at work here. Can they work as fast when required? Or are both sexes just equally capable in this aspect?
They are more street-smart?
Looking at some of the friends I know (no offence here), it's certainly not the case.
It's just a social stereotype. Girls make better admin personnels. They are more meticulous about things and paperwork will suit them perfectly. They are also better in communication skills. They 'decorate' the office with their pretty faces and 'bubbly' personalities.
Ah, I think the last point is the main reason.
Tiko bosses. Tiko managers. Tiko directors.
TIKOS.
This guy, shawn, at the jobseekers' counter, provide the perfect example that guys can be equally good at admin/customer service jobs as well.
His smile and warm service brought a smile to my face, and I think he provides great service, certainly better than some of the lowly-educated but highly-make-up-ed females faces.
Why are girls preferred in these kinds of jobs?
I just don't understand.
