I just needed to complain!!
I feel so outcasted by the society when I tried looking for a job thru recruit agencies just a couple of hours ago.
Initially the agent was talking to me pretty fine and offered a few positions to me. When I mentioned I was abt 3 mths preggers, she said it's abit tricky and her clients are rather picky and sensitive abt hiring pregnant women. I said, i understood the situation which was why I dun mind a temp or contract position. She replied "ok." so i continued "so do u have anything else available?" she replied VERY CURTLY and singlish-ly "no leh." i kept quiet and so did she. I gave her a very unhappy "ok bye" and hung up the phone. Then I called another agent, from the same company and did the same thing, except, this agent told me abt the complications of job searching while pregnant and told me very nicely and honestly that while she has many positions on hand, none are open to pregnant women and said to me "it's gonna be tough for u to find a job, since ur pregnant, u can take the opportunity to stay home and rest ur body. I'll contact u if I have any positions available and suitable for u." Even tho at the end of the conversation she did not ask for my number to be able to contact me again, I was satisfied and convinced that the first agent's attitude demands me to email her company to file a complain against her.
