Thunderous days beckon
Once again i tapped into the non 8-5’s window today as i attended the career seminar at Propnex, a leader agency in the property field. It was by far the most insightful and terrific career seminar that i had ever attended, noting that i and six others were lucky enough to have the CEO’s brother himself as the speaker. There was none of those ‘join us and be mind boggling-ly wealthy and super successful, guaranteed! we will reveal secrets! all of them silly secrets!’. None. Instead it was superbly entertaining and a deftly professional approach that was taken by the seminar’s speaker. He made us think, like, real deep.
Compare that to California Fitness’s first interview. “I will test you now, go talk to five strangers under ten minutes, ask them questions and write them down here with their names and mobile’s”. Laughable and utter crap in terms of professionalism. I might as well add that the people at California Fitness who was there to receive me, in my most honest opinion, was not welcoming at all, i was made to look as if i was a potential competitor to them rather than a future colleague. For goodness sake, telling me to hit 21k in four months or else i will be fired as a personal fitness trainer? What is up with that California Fitness Singapore? My God.
I did googled California Fitness Singapore on the web, belatedly, and found many unpleasant comments regarding the service provided by CF. From their gym machines, their personal trainers (unfriendly, getting too close with girls, only communicating with paying clients that they personally train, zombies walking around the gym floor, walking around as if they are the exclusive gym gods, big muscles small brains and perpetually pestering members to sign up for their personal training packages, etc), their lockers condition, and the most worrying of all, the way California Fitness Singapore pissed many of their members regarding their membership contracts. One even went to CASE to file a complain.
Lesson learned. Google before you jump into the water.
Back to Propnex, after a tour of their offices at the HDB Hub building and a personal chat with one of their top agent, who was 2007’s topnotch producing agent, or something along that line, i enrolled in the real estate specialist’s course. Commencing later this month, i am truely looking forward to this 5 weeks long course. I am at my lowest state now in a long time, i try not to show it much, the only way now is up for i can’t go any lower than this.
I had plenty of foibles before, i had done things that i should not have done, i am determined for a change, so help me God as i help myself. Help me God.
