Interesting candie

Spoke to this candidate on 7 Oct to see if he is keen in a particular RF role.  Not the kindest candidate...quite rude and demanding, I should say.  He said he is interested and requested for a P1 Employment pass pay scale (ie. more than S$8000).  His last drawn basic salary was S$3200 and he has 1.5 yrs experience in my required skillsets.  I know that this little red dot is a playground for many foreign talents who are trying to enter the country but an almost S$5000 jump is way too much.  I had no choice but to delete his CV.  He can continue his dream somewhere else...certainly not with me. Please wake up and face reality!  Even my own countrymen don't get that kind of a salary jump!

And the story didn't end here....I received his sms....

Hello madam, just now u called me for that xxx position, kindly give me your email contact to send my updated resume and plz correct my expected salary category, its P2 not P1. Regards, S

(Name is hidden to protect the victim.  For those who are not familiar with the EP pay scale.  P2 is more than S$4000...which I still think it's too high considering the fact that he doesn't have adequate experience)

My respond: OK

Hello Mam, Hope you are fine! I just wanted to know about my application's progress with xxx.  Thanks, S

My respond: The position has been closed.

I chose not to represent him because well....even if he got selected for the first interview, I doubt he can get pass hiring manager coz that's where the technical questioning comes in.  How to justify the jump in that kind of salary with only 1.5 yrs experience?  Singaporeans are not born stupid!!  We don't entertain your whims and fancies!  I didn't even bother to put him into the DB.  Waste my time!
