Why is Manulife recruiting my girlfriend?
Sounds like the standard case where an unsuspecting, innocent, 3rd world cutie eagerly shows up to a promising job interview only to be chloroformed, rolled inside a large rug, packed in a crate, smuggled onto a cargo plane and wakes up 2 days later chained in a dungeon-like brothel in Turkey or something. Happens all the time.
"The final straw actually involved my mortal enemy vladimir, who you may or may not know is an insufferable, overposting asshat."
When I worked in Manila there was this lass who used to make my coffee at Starbucks.She had excellent customer service skills and I saw her deal with a few stroppy customers with a high degree of professionalism and maturity. I asked her what her dream job was one day and she just wanted to get out of coffee and into an office job.
I was actively recruiting at the time and was busy looking at the resumes of a million Pinoys who had 0 / or unrelated experience and thought....bloody hell...this Starbucks girl has the core of what I need and the company can train her on the more specific aspects .
Upshot was I put a case to HR and we recruited her into our company ( an F500 ) despite her not having a degree etc . She is still there and is doing well.

Ricecakes,
That is a good news story and to be applauded.
I think with Manulife it is unlikely they will be offering this lady any kind of office job with a fixed salary. It is likely she will be recruited for the world of cold calling and hard selling. Furthermore, she will absolutely be expected to pressurize her family and friends into buying policies. Not a pleasant situation.

Exactly my motto ricecakes - you can train pretty much any skills, you can't train attitude. I've hired cleaners, security guards, etc into office roles and many of them put their "I've got five degrees from the university of ..." to shame.
Back on topic, sounds an awful lot more like Herbalife than Manulife - but with AIA joining the fray, who knows.

Hamburg-mannheimer, a large subsidiary of insurance giant Allianz, used to have similar shady recruitment tactics. They had teams in my hometown targeting people based on the way they were walking, on the premise than an energetic, fast walker would be a better salesperson than day a coach potato.
I was a student so I thought what the hell, they're paying me for a training session and giving me a good lunch so why not. The first training session consisted in writing down 50 personal contacts and exchanging your list with the guy next door, who would call them based on "your recommendation". I made up 50 bogus contacts, did take their lunch but bailed out just after dessert.

I never would have pictured Ricecakes as a Starbucks vegan conscious free safe space latte sipping hipster! You're man card has been officially revoked!ricecakes wrote:When I worked in Manila there was this lass who used to make my coffee at Starbucks..
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

That is no excuse for being inside Starbucks though...he could've waited outside across the road at the mini mart drinking mini mart priced beers while snapping pics on his smart phone!gavinmac wrote:Read between the lines.

Why would you drink in a minimart when San Miguel delivers ice cold crates to your door for $15.
