May be they are mechanics and hairdressers who know how to cook

When I have asked for project managers, I've gotten every sort of reply. It's sad in a way... so many people looking for a way to advance themselves... I don't begrudge the applications... I do wish they had a better chance... and a better understanding of why they cannot be considered. And I understand why so many try anyway.
Like sperm, for every 500,000,000 that try, maybe one makes it but rarely in Singapore

Though I say keep trying every day and night!
I have nothing against taking the right one on, and teaching them the ropes, though they have to convince me they are the right ones, it's taken 3 years to find a character with confidence in public, and yet there are lots around with no education aat all, earning between 3 and 6k a month, I've met many of them and they have the gift of the gab, talented and cannot get a break to study, because the employers exploit them, and are not interested in them climbing the ladder!
Personally I have seen shocking colonial behaviour with employees, that run their businesses through fear with foreign workers, no wonder Singaporeans don't want to work for them if they have the same attitude, and of course they have.
I was only thinking the other day, that I would put the boss on is arse for speaking to me, the way he treats his employees. Personally i have no respect for these people that have education and cannot do shit practically, they pay for everything that needs to be done, because they cannot do it themselves. Of course I'm not saying everyone in Singapore is like that, but my experience is that it is wide spread and not to my liking!
That is my reason to give others without education a chance, though they must have a little commonsense too, and they will be trained up to succeed. Confidence in oneself is the key to making progress, with a well balanced mind, not a pyschopathic dreamer! Pyschopathic may sound harsh and dangerous but it is not really, it is quite a common flaw in human behaviour!
