People clammoring for organisations to employ more locals and i wondered... Would you work in this position?
Then i saw one asking for a F&B establishment to employ more kind-hearted locals.. Then i wondered.. How do you identify a person as kind-hearted? This is an attribute which cannot be identified during an interview session.
A person may live with elderly folks but may scream and shout at others.
A person may make donations to charitable organisations, yet look on with scorn at those ah mas or ah pehs selling tissue paper.
There are no fool-proof tests to find such people and anyway, the saying goes "beggers can't be chosers".
With the lack of candidates willing to work shift, for low pay, in such industries, you cannot really chose much. You select what are available.
With locals eschewing such work, more foreigners are needed.
When you go against a foreign labor policy, have you thought of who's gonna serve you at restaurants and who's gonna build houses, clear your pipes, clean your roads, etc. for you?
While chatting with another company rep during a career fair, he lamented that his company may close their f&b outlet due to lack of manpower.
I wonder if that is what some people want to see..
