升定唔升？
升左職反而更差？

老闆給自己升職是一種認同。既然是一種上司對自己的認同，那麼就是好事。但如果是升職不加薪，就係危機的開始！所有主管都有一個共同的難題：帶人

近 7 成主管認為，部屬怎麼教都教不會、說也說不聽，就算掏心掏肺、費盡口舌，還可能落得惹人嫌的下場！

升遷後，很多新主管下意識希望團隊按照自己的規則走，只懂得用主管權威「要求」部屬，很容易眾叛親離⋯⋯

事實上，帶團隊不能只倚仗威權，更重要的是交際手腕，運用自己的影響力，「引導」部屬達成共識。現實來說，升職之後，你遇到的各種複雜問題，大部分不能僅根據數據或分析找到正解，決策時常牽扯到他人的意見、誰和誰的關係等等。

換句話說，你得從做事的一般職員埋頭死做，調整成監督目標、培育團隊的領導者，就是要轉換你對工作任務的認知，做好放手讓下屬自行工作習慣的準備。

孔子都說過：“不在其位，不謀其政。”，升職後的你就要在比之前要高的崗位上，好好工作，因你肩膀上的責任多了！

Your Messages in Interview Box (IB)

We offer encryption protocol for our Service.  Encryption means that your messages are encrypted to protect against Us and third parties from reading them.  Encryption ensures only you and the person you’re communicating with can read or listen to what is sent, and nobody in between, not even JobTotal.  This is because with encryption, Your messages are secured with a lock, and only the recipient and You have the special key needed to unlock and read them.  All of this happens automatically: no need to turn on any special settings to secure your messages.

When Job Seeker sent the message to Advertiser, once the message is received, it will be subject to the Advertiser’s own privacy practices.  The Advertiser may designate a number of employees, or even other vendors, to process and respond to the message.

JobTotal Profile

We provide all Registered Users to creating a personal JobTotal Profile (“JobTotal Profile”).  A JobTotal Profile can include a resume, employment and educational history, contact details, salary expectations, and preferred job classifications and locations.  Advertisers who are approved by Us are able to search JobTotal’s Profile database to find and contact relevant candidates.  We provides Registered Users with choice in relation to the access granted by Us to Advertisers in respect of their JobTotal Profiles and Registered Users can elect the JobTotal profile You wish to share (if any) with Advertisers based on the following privacy settings:

  • Standard: If you set your JobTotal Profile to standard, your Profile and resume and contact details, can be seen by Advertisers searching JobTotal’s Profile database.  Relevant content from the resume attached to your profile such as employment roles, descriptions of responsibilities and tasks, and educational history including schools, fields and periods of study, may also be scanned by Us and presented to advertisers in the Profile database.  Additionally, if an Advertiser wishes to purchase access to your JobTotal Profile, your full JobTotal Profile including your resume and contact details will be disclosed immediately to the relevant Advertiser.  Advertisers may also elect to send you a copy of the job opportunity for which they are recruiting.
  • Hidden: If you set your JobTotal Profile to hidden, your Profile, is completely hidden (thereby preventing Advertisers from viewing your Profile unless You applied the job directly).  Your Profile will be stored in the ‘Profile’ area and you may alter the privacy settings at any time.  Advertisers cannot search your profile or send you job opportunities.

When You have applied for jobs directly or respond directly to the job invitation sent to you by Advertiser, that Advertiser will have access to your up-to-date profile, including Your resume and contact details (as updated by you from time to time).

All information provided when creating a JobTotal Profile (including your name, resume, email address, telephone numbers, employment and educational history) may be used by Us for the purpose of improving placement opportunities for you or for tailoring specific products to you.
