My first part-time job was during Form 3, when I was still in high school. Till now, I have worked as cashier, boutique sales girl, surveyor, flyer girl, café waitress and event crew. I have rich experience in promoting products too, up to Energizer battery, Enfagrow milk powder, Schick razor, Carnation creamer, Xylitol chewing gum, F&N soft drinks, fruit juice, laptop and even the worst,
Broadband promoter is definitely the worst job ever for me. Why?
First, I'm not really good in approaching and communicating with strangers.
Second, I don't really understand the complicated packages even as their promoter.
Third, I actually think that BROADBAND SUCKS! That's why I can't convince any single customer and push sales!
And I got fired after the first day and they never pay my super blardy cheap salary RM50!
This is one of the reasons that
Well, this post is not mainly about my grudges with the helluva broadband.
No offense to those who working as broadband promoters kay? Peace :D
In truth, I'm gonna teach you how to measure how much are you worth for your part-time job ;)
This salary-o-meter is inspired by another test for couple. It's originally a post related with price for the boyfriend and girlfriend. I amend it to become a self-estimation with own value as a part-time freelancer.
Now, take out a calculator and start estimating your salary:
1. Start from 1000 bucks as your basic salary. (+1000)
2. Height
For boy, add $100 for every 1cm more than 175cm (+100) deduct $100 for every 1cm lesser than 175cm (-100)
For girl, add $100 for every 1cm more than 165cm (+100) deduct $100 for every 1cm lesser than 165cm (-100)
3. Weight
For boy, deduct $100 for every 1kg after 70kg (-100)
For girl, deduct $100 for every 1kg after 55kg (-100)
4. Bust size
For girl, deduct $100 if A-B cup (-100) add $200 if C-D cup (+200)
5. Add $100 for double eyelids (+100) deduct $50 for single eyelids (-50)
6. Deduct $100 if you're short-sightedness and need to wear glasses while working (-100)
7. Dress up skill
For boy, add $100 if style their hair with whatever hair styling product before work (+100) If not, deduct $100 (-100)
For girl, add $100 if having fine & appropriate makeup for work (+100)
Deduct $100 if do not know how to do a proper make up (-100)
Checklist 1 - 7 are no kidding at all! It's simple, eye-catching boys & girls are easier to get attention. Sometimes they don't even have to approach the customers and thing happens in the opposite way! Doesn't it make sense? ;)
8. Deduct $100 for every one year older than 25 years old and every one year younger than 18 years old (-100)
(FYI, 18-25 years old is often the age requirement of part-time job)
9. Deduct $100 if you're smoker (-200)
10. Add $100 for fun and outgoing personalities (+100) Deduct $100 if you often feel shy to approach strangers (-100)
11. Add $200 if you never get discouraged because of being turned down by others (+200)
p/s: And you can be a great broadband promoter! :P
12. Deduct $100 if dye your hair more than one colors (-100) Feel that it looks so great (-100)
13. Add $200 if maintain excellent result while work (+200) Deduct $100 (-100) for each subject's failure due to work
