Job Ad

Anyone interested in being a market researcher for Synovate? This is the actual job ad posted in NUS eJobCentre:




Hrmph..too small is it? (My first time to do a screen shot of anything)...Anyway...


Synovate is actually a business consultancy company, so they do market research for other companies, so that these other companies will know how to design and package their products to suit their customers.

Yeah so I applied and I just came from the interview. Basically what you have to do is to call up companies in the Philippines (actually it depends on which country you are assigned to, and it is just sensible to assign Filipinos to the Philippines), and conduct a survey. For this project, they are concerned with the type of lubricants used by companies that require cargo or container vehicles.

Remuneration is $8/hr, and working hours are preferably from 9am-6pm. If you do the math, that's actually good money for a temp job. However, don't expect an easy job...because the questionnaire is super long!!! It is the longest questionnaire I have ever seen in my whole life, and you have to conduct an interview over the phone using that. I almost backed out actually, but they said you are only expected to contact around five companies per day because they do know that it would take a lot of time to finish just one questionnaire. The lady also assured us that it might seem difficult at first, but you'll get used to it. The working environment is also vibrant, as there are a lot of people of different nationalities, and the office itself is colorful. Also, I think this is something nice that you could add on to your resume hehehe=)

Mark-the-recruiter-and-funny-guy said that he's having difficulty looking for native speakers of Tagalog, and asked if maybe I could help him...so there..for anyone who is interested, just contact Mark (hp: 97916971, landline 64306550) to arrange for another briefing next week. No need to apply online I think, just contact him directly.

PS
