job interviews have been fucking screwed up
not very nice language i know, but it is that way
i have learnt my lesson that jobs advertised as "attractive pay and flexible hours, students on holidays welcome" are normally openings for "individuals who enjoy the challenge of meeting new people and marketing" and at the same time "raising funds" for charity organisations
even a opening described as "event coordinator" requires me to go through training that is basically "raising funds"
i simply cannot stand the way so many companies "raise funds" for charity organisations by recruiting sales people to harrass people on the streets to donate
IT IS WRONG
for one, i have helped with fund raising for charity organisations before and this is definitely not the best wway to do it
honestly, how much of these funds raised by these companies actually go to the charity organisations??
and all these sales people further kills the confidence people have in donating to charity after the whole NKF saga
note, it is sales people
they earn commission
their income is based on the amount of donations they can get
so of course they will try all ways and means to get you to donate
they are not trying to sell you anything
they just want your money to help the needy
RIGHT
and they conveniently left out the fact that some amount of these donations would go towards their pay

yes, they are helping these charity organisations in raising the public's awarenss
but, is this kind of awareness desirable??
people will most probably not remember anythign about the cause of these organisations and will get annoyed and irritated because they are constantly hounded by these irritating sales people
and the more likely scenario is that they will remember the name of the organisation and dismiss it as some sort of scam the next time a REAL VOLUNTEER actually asks for any form of aid
or even if they really do donate, it will most probably be to get these sales people off their backs
so there
rahhhh
i cant decide whether these charity organisations are too silly as to entrust their source of funds to these companies and whether they are aware what sort of image they are portraying, or rather, allowing these companies to portray for them
or that these companies are doing all these without the knowledge of these charity organisations
though i highly doubt the latter option
or are the so called charity organisations simply an empty shell that these people came up with to earn some money off the kind hearted or those who simply couldn't take the insistence of the sales people
i dunno which but i seriously do not think that such "fund raising" efforts are positive and right
so there
