Got this from the HR this morn:We are looking for freelance proofreaders again and if you all know of anyone who fits the desired qualities below, please do ask them to send in an e mail to me with their contact number.
The rate payable will be RM8 per hour. The freelancers are required to work in our office premises and also make themselves available at anytime required by us.
Desired qualities:
a. Meticulous – High attention to detail
b. Good level of focus and concentration over long periods of time
c. Able to handle monotonous and mundane work
d. Disciplined and self-motivated
e. Reasonable command of English
f. Not expecting constant income
g. Flexible – can come in at short notice, as and when required; sometimes working in office and sometimes from home.
Thank you.
C'mon, if I had qualifications like that, I wouldn't slave myself for a RM8/hour lo. The $$$ for toll and petrol to CBJ is at least RM15, depending where you are coming from, and another minimum RM5 for lunch, and if I worked 8 hours (@RM64/day), one-third of my salary goes to just coming for work. RM40 per day for a mind numbing job.. crazy ah? And they want quality and error-free results. And it's supposed to be one of the most crucial processes in the workflow. It's like Ferrari subletting the engine designing job to kids in arts classes so they can save enough for hotel accommodation. What kinda sense is that?
If you paid peanuts, guess what you'll get?
