If Kyocera wants u to work whole day or full time with same pay rate, Kyocera gives u higher pay. 2) Clementi Town Sec. Sch. Den, she mentioned tis, "Kesian Kakak. Kakak saja yg odd one out.

Today, I went there for da schedule interview. Position: Temporary Conservation Assistant. Department: Archives Conservation Laboratory.

Wow! Wat a tedious job, huh? Wat’s my job scope like? Well, as a Temporary Conservation Assistant, I have to be responsible for carrying out conservation processes on archival and library materials, as well as other private collections for its long-term preservation. I am required to carry out mechanical cleaning and treating insect infestations and mould growth, chemically treating degradations, repairing and binding of damaged archival and rare library materials.

Actually, they are in need of pple. They want those who can start on 27 Dec (aft Christmas). However, I can only start aft I gave 7(seven) working days notice. My contract has end on 30th June 2005 but they renew my contract till further notice & I have no idea when. I assume its on 30 December and tat means, I can only give 7(seven) working days notice to Kyocera on 30th December and tat means I can only start tis new job latest by 9th January 2006. Hmm, can they wait? Or are they willing to wait? I forgot to tell tis to them. Dratz!
