Age discrimination is widespread but should be fought in the workplace

It’s perhaps ironic that we discriminate on the ground of age, because we all have been young and we’ll all grow old. Ageing is inevitable and universal. Age is different from, for example, gender or ethnicity in that generally speaking, we have no lived experience of other sexes and ethnicity, but we all have or will have experiences of other people’s ages.

How soft skills smooth the way to career and life success

Remember the most successful and popular students you knew in school? They seemed to be comfortable with everyone, intelligent, kind and fun. Anyone would be happy to work with them on a group assignment. These people are probably well-liked and respected as adults too, and would be valued in any workplace. What do they have that others don’t?

Many of them became good friends. Some of them won’t even speak to me anymore.

【職業特搜】名錶店客戶經理:做好三條數就最「襟撈」

背景:Felix —— 名錶店客戶經理,年資四年幾 */ 人工及晉升機會 30,000元 月薪平均都有三、四萬,因為我哋依行人工係底薪加佣金。我依個職級除了個人佣金收入,仲有店舖佣金收入,簡單嚟講,同事做夠數,我都有豐厚的薪金收入。公司每個月都有「特選錶款」,如果自己或同事賣得出該款錶,又會有一筆額外佣金收入,如錶價二十萬左右,就有四千蚊佣金。旺季嚟講,其實月入十萬是很平常的事。真係好淡好淡嘅市道,前線銷售人員都只少有兩萬蚊,我自己都有四萬多啲。 老實講,間間公司文化唔同。通常由銷售人員做起,之後晉升為高級銷售人員、主管和經理。我總公司鍾意空降管理層,除非開新分店唔夠人返工,才會考慮內部晉升。 壓力指標 Sales跑數壓力,每個月前線銷售人員都要做夠個人數,做唔夠我要搵佢傾計,輔助吓佢哋㗎。另外就是總公司和品牌派來的神秘顧客調查,次數愈來愈密,其中一個同事做壞咗,評分低都會影響整間店舖的形象或者福利制度。 增值指標 入行最緊要有銷售經驗,購買名錶客人目的都不同,要跟對方打開話題,你要投其所好,最好多認識不同方面的知識,去旅行又傾到、飲食玩樂又有分享,同時積極了解新事物,客人才會覺得你專業。語文能力有助銷售,有時間多學不同國家語言。但講到尾,要做到經理級,最基本要有本科學士學位,同埋管理經驗或者知識。   問:
