An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Dear Gilbert,
I like to seek your help to secure a job.
I graduated from NUS in 1988. I major in Computer and Info Sciences.
For 21 years, I worked in an in-house IT environment and took on various IT roles such as project manager, system analyst, business analyst and analyst programmer.
In March 2009, after working for 9 years with a local media giant as an IT project manager, I was forced to resign from the company with zero compensation.
The reason they gave was that I did not meet the expectations of my reporting VP. I wrote in officially to seek a demotion but they refused to entertain.
For the next one and a half year, I worked as a cabby and explored other options while seeking a job that can leverage on my past 21 years of experience in an IT industry.
In late 2010, I was fortunate to be recommended to work for a global IT giant as a contract staff.
Being used their software and led a team in supporting their software previously, I was thrilled to be able to work for them despite that it’s an entry level position as an inbound lead specialist (B-B Inbound Tele-Marketer).
For three and a half years, I moved on to handle the outbound tele-marketing role before being promoted as a SEA tele-marketing team manager in mid 2012. I also lead a team of 11 marketers based in 6 SEA countries.
In spite of the fact that my current salary is still around 60% lower than my last IT job and I need to supplement my income by renting out one of my rooms in a 3-room HDB flat, I am happy working there as my past IT knowledge and management skill is able to put into good use.
Unfortunately, starting from this year, the contract term of my team has been reduced from 6 months renewable to 3 months renewable.
On top of that, the company did not give us the budgeted 1 month bonus (we don’t have AWS) and salary increment (also budgeted).
At the same time,the company has set up a similar team structure in the office in Philippines, which has started their operation this month.
All the signs are pointing at the exit door for me and my team come end June this year.
While I can always go back to drive cab again, my current health condition may not permit me to do.
Hence, I like to seek help from your team to recommend me a job. I am open to all options.
Thank You!
I’m a desperate man!
