SO YOU THINK I'M AS GREEN AS GRASS,HUH?

Blogging is really about talking about your ups and your downs,there can't be ups all the way,that's life.




So early last month,I had a job as an instructor.They said I before I started working,I had to go 20 sessions(or 20 hours) as a trainee and I'm not going to be paid.


I first question the purpose of all this.I mean,I could be paid for while being a trainee,so I figured they wanted to test my endurance in taking jobs like this and proving I was not a flash in the pan.


So in the short 17 days,I completed my 20 sessions.
Here the prove

After that,there were totally no shifts,yes,I mean NO SHIFT AT ALL for me,I remember clearly on the last session,I asked Jerald,who is the boss that talks to me like I'm his best friend(clearly not),

Me:"why aren't there slots for me next week?"

"Because you shouldn't cut into other people's classes,I'll put you in a new school"He replied.

My confidence went back up......until next week's schedule,that is.

Mon 7-Mar-11 12:45PM 1:45PM Ngee Ann Pri 1st Class

My first thought was "Hmm....new school,huh?Imma take it"

In the end,I didn't get the slot,as a matter of fact,I didn't even get a slot for 2 FREAKING WEEKS.

SO YOU THINK I'M AS GREEN AS GRASS(another term for inexperience),HUH?


..But really,it wasn't my skating skills nor my teaching skills that were bad,I know that they have a ratio of 1Instructor :20 students,so I saw a slot which only had 2I and 60S,so I took my chance and sent an email to Jerald.

Is it possible for me to join in the slot of
Mon 7-Mar-11 Northlight School?


Then his reply was

If you don’t get paid…..will you still come for the session?



I mean what kind of boss ask his worker to do a job for free?Like I said,it's A FREAKING JOB!!!,not voluntary work.I spent my own money on transport and I expect to earn that amount back


I'm not saying I haven't learn anything there,it's just that I shouldn't be working for a company aren't using their manpower the correct way.

I am not afraid of the consequences and repercussion that may come because of putting this entry live.The most,I would lose the job,but the question is,did I have the job in the first place?

You be the judge!
