Job hunters...

We just finished our weekly meeting with our Team Leader. I actually have fun doing that. Even though my teammates are serious most of the time, they are able to laugh for a while.

Anyway, I can't help but think about what our TL told us in the meeting. One of our subteam only has one member (both his subteammates resigned, one looking for better management, and one to take care of their family business). Someone raised the issue: will the management hire another one for that subteam? Well, it was raised so our TL needs to answer that.

He said, it's really hard to find a replacement for those two because of the qualifications. Few poeple are applying in the company, and from that few, they will be filtered by a series of exams and interviews. It's really tough!

But what strucked me was when he said, he isn't really impressed with the graduates (or graduating students) today. Most of them are looking for easy money, hence, applying for call center agents. True enough, more and more graduates are not applying for jobs that they should be applying. Plus, these call center companies are really drool-some. They offer very high starting salaries, and most people are going for that. Job-hunters nowadays neglect to see their future with their supposed-to-be-profession.

But call center companies do not guarantee a long-term job. Eventually, these people will get tired of what they're doing. Then they'll resign. Now comes job-hopping. Hehehehe.

*sigh...When will people learn to be satisfied? I guess not. If someone wants to be satisfied, one should start doing what he or she wants/likes to be doing, even if he/she should start from zero. Don't you think?
