Well another 2 more staffs resigned and we are really shortage of staffs during this peak period.. Sigh.... For the past few years.. All travel agency has been really shortage of staffs.. Place ads in the newspaper and only 2 - 3 person turn up of interview. Then we place ads in JobDB.. and many write in wanting a very high pay (eg $2000) for just a tour counsultant post. Most Singaporean was being rejected because they wants a very high pay. They do not want to service customer and work over the weekends and Public Holidays.. then we go for Malaysian... well... intial they were hard working and will work for a period of 2 to 3 yrs.. but now they also become very choosy... Some even did not turn up on their first day of work....
Malaysian love tour leading.. They wanted job where they get plenty of opportunities to go tour lead... To them working in a travel agency means, must go tour leading and see the world.. Well if everyone goes tour leading then who will stay in the office to serve customers..? Haha...
Then we look into PRC (China).. They came with an expectation that the company must apply Employment Pass... How could we give them Employment Pass's salary when they are only just a tour consultant..? For Employment pass holder, they must be holding high post with high Salary... (If the ask for S-pass maybe after working for a few years on Work permit and with good performance, then the company can consider applying for them..) We do ever apply S-Pass for a few of our outstanding Malaysian staffs...
Everyone is still very choosy with jobs.. with very unrealistic demend and expectation... Like asking for a cleaner job with a $2000 and above salary...
All Travel Agency are not willing to pay a higher salary because for a tour consultant job, you do not need a high qualification.. But if to increase the job quilfication (eg. Diploma in Travel related).. Then employers have to give higher pay.. and thus, tour fare margin will increase... Say if you were to flay by the double deck A380 to sydney.. of course you pay a higher fare then to fly by B744...
Well guess everyone got to work more full shift during this peak period... Then more staffs will be very tired and then slowly more will resign....
