Recruit Express [Advice needed]

On the day itself, the agent verbally told me that so long its after the end work time, i am entitled to OT pay rate. I blame myself to be gullible and didnt do the calculation on the spot. Afterall theres nothing i can do about verbal agreement since the contract is sign.

The reason i accepted this offer initially was due to the fact that the agent told me its a convertible position, however on the day reporting to work, i found out that its actually a permanent temp position. Again, i blame myself to be so naive.

Hope you guys learnt from my lesson. Any advice are welcome

anyway 8hrs is damn short. report at 9 and you're done by 5pm. 8hr jobs that end at 5pm are close to extinct in Singapore now. Anyway I've been to RE before. If you're not the outspoken, go getter sort you're going to get nudged out by your colleagues (and eventually you'll break down and resign yourself) because they only hire alpha-aggressive sort of people there and they constantly look at your bottomline everyday.

Freshies have a common/pooled team target while as you get more senior they will assign you individual targets to meet. and if you don't meet them clearly you're shown the door out.

knn civil servant wanna come here kpkb. i work 35 hours a week doing finance and i'm sure i earn more than you.

Actually all recruitment agencies are useless for me. I nv get job through these agencies before even when my friends or relatives intro their agents to me. Yet I got the jobs through direct applications with the companies. Unless you wan part time , it better to go for direct applications, even if you aiming for contract type.

Recruit Express is R.E. so what does it mean? Resident Evil of course!!!
