One of the Complaints from Industry Dear XXXXX, I would like to express my impression on your previous student who working with us before i consider your new student. I would like to highlight some issue during their working period. 1. No time management, always LATE TO WORK. 2. NO DISCIPLINE, even they need to stop working, no resign letter, no call to inform management, no answering our call. 3. During working time, when any water leaking, not even try his solve the problem, ACT LIKE SENIOR waiting foreign worker to handle it. some hard work like sweep water leaked beside machine also a very not willing task to them. Honestly, as a technician or engineer, if when there is any accident happen, any issue occur, should be the 'knowledgeable' senior to guide what to do, if not the 'knowledgeable' also at least use their mouth to ask or show their body language willing to help as a them during their training period. But we found VERY DISAPPOINT on our future generation, look like a stranger in our factory. I think without a proper trial & explanation before go to training is a WASTE OF PEOPLE EFFORT, and WASTE OF RESOURCES. 35 We do hope some optimitic & cheerful student to support us, but please interview them before you recommend to us, and we will NOT PAY them during this working period.
