okay, i super need to blog about this..
about 1 and a half years back, before i started poly in 2008, i was on a hunt for jobs.
i bought newspaper like everyday. until one day, sthg caught my eye.
it was sthg like: "earn up to 3k per month. flexible hrs. call blablah"
so being me, i got all excited and called.
i rmbr her name as Ms Elaine/eunice. Lets call her Ms E.
so she was all nice and friendly, asked me to go down for an interview.
... meet at eunos... call her when ive reached... directions to follow...
so it was at this MDIS building at changi road.
the place was rather nice, and the people there were super friendly and damn nice to talk to.
even fellow interviewees were so friendly. i instantly liked the environment there.
then it was like say 1hr 30mins talk abt their products. the company is called Venture Era (VE).
the talk was like their so called "interview" session. then, i think i was rather naive.
i didnt knw what on earth was an mlm business.
but the people were really persuasive. super can influence easily influenced ppl like me. HAHA.
i know better now though. lol. so i was rly excited to join them.
somemore like, i stay so near to eunos also, might as well right.
so continued meeting them for abt 2days? they cont talking abt their products...
then showed me experiments all. (they sell health stuff or sthg, magnetic mattress/bracelets/toothpaste/air purifier..)
&i rmbr there was this really good looking guy in the company too. added benefit (:
HAHA. until after abt 2days of so called training, they started to keep wanting to meet my parents.
then obviously i dont want right, so weird. meet them for what??
so i gave excuses like, oh they're not free. then i think Ms E was like, we can make a visit to your house.
i was huhhh?!!! crazy! they knew my mum had hbp, so they asked me do i want to buy the product.
i said yea probably for my mum. then they asked me to buy now (then), i said i didnt have so much money.
ms e: so when do u plan on getting the magnetic mattress
me: err when ive saved enough? (one is abt few k)
ms e: you love your mum right, how long do u think u'd take to save? if u buy now, dont u think it'd benefit her faster?
me: yea it would. but ive no money.
ms e: how abt, we meet your parents and ask abt their opinions, then they might want to decide to purchase it themselves.
me: no its ok. i want to buy for them.
ms e: its better if they buy it now...blablabla...
and they kept gng on.. eventually i found another job and stopped all connections w them.
its srsly damn stupid. i think if i had enough money, i cfm buy like all their products lor. they brain wash u until damn jialat.
anyw, the reason why i suddenly blogged abt what happened kinda long ago is cus a similar incident just came up!
during my very short training session of abt 3-4days, i actually made quite a few friends/acquaintances.
(INCLUSIVE OF CUTE GUY)
when i started poly, there was this classmate, who seemed all familiar to me, but i cldnt put a finger to it.
her name's qh. i figured awhile later that i met her in VE. she has obviously been brainwashed badly by them.
so much so that, she quit sch halfway thru sem1 in poly just so that she cld have more time to work.
VE has no basic pay, u earn by commission. so u must keep making appointments and closing deals to earn money, which is rather tring i'd say.
honestly, thought it was qute ridiculous to quit sch for sthg like this, &like cus since ive sorta been in the company before,
i know that its brainwashing info.
today, i found this email that was sent to all my year1 classmates abt a job/ temporary job and flexible timings.
then there was this number to sms to if u wanted it... plus limited vacancies -.- (they cannot wait for u to join the company man)
so i thought it was like school offering part time jobs cus my sch sometimes does so.
i decided to sms, asked abt timings/job scope.
...
...
until i asked for the place, the person replied:
"the place for interview is at changi rd area. as u are new, it wld be diffiicult for u to get there by urself, and u might get lost. so to make things simpler, we meet at eunos mrt, when u reach give me a call. i will personally bring u to the office. alright? any last min changes, pls sms me. dont mia thanks"
wah! then it dawned on me that this cld be VE! so i asked for company name, she said DHA, dewey ho associates.
i rmbred that in VE, they like had sub division teams there. so i was thinking hmm dha, it wasnt the team i was previously under.
so i googled! dha nthg lor. i tried VE DHA.
&there i found it. anyw, before i found it, i smsed:
" by any chance, is the company in MDIS building and is DHA a subset of Venture Era?"
she never replied me alr! wah ownnnnnnn.
so the motive of my post is, i cant rmbr.
BUT IM CERTAIN THAT THIS PERSON GOT ALL MY YEAR1 CLASSMATES' EMAIL THRU THE DROP OUT CLASSMATE!
on a sidenote: cute guy and i are actually still friends and we still laugh abt being brainwashed by VE.
but cute guy isnt so cute anymore. hahahahhaha.
