Kangadrool Supersonic October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 (edited) I reckon this is not a full time position. Normally, held by HSE manager, facilities manager, admin manager, training manager or other supporting role manager....

Kangadrool Supersonic October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 This is still quite honest job title; at least the word 'funeral' is still intact and not replaced by some fanciful names. Just a few examples... Most executives working in offices are not really executives; they have no "hire and fire" power, no decision making power - not even a small matter, everything must refer to manager kind...... To me, they should be more appropriately called "co-ordinators". Then, we have so many account managers doing sales....... with obviously no executive and managerial powers and on their name cards or sign off signatories, they have to put "account manager (sales)" as this obviously create confusion. hey..i make no qualms n gloat my title, i am a funeral DIRECTOR!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktglfc Hypersonic October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 Maybe get a WSHO (workplace safety health officer) cert follow by FSM cert. More worth it :) Some company prefer to engage one person that is able to multitask, i.e. WSHO cum FSM, though FSM can only be registered one per company/factory.

Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 ... a lot of FT is also having this cert....esp the a neh.. Ah neh cert really jialat one..... . My wife company has one and when I questioned him on some safety issue, he look blurr at me... . He attended Basic Certificate of WSH and act machiam like Safety officer. The Advance Cert very tough and the part time courses took 8 months to complete and with no multiple choices questions. All had to be hand written and every module, had to submit project papers.... I had completed my Advance Cert last year from NTUC LearningHub and regret going cos, now every dammed safety things, I have to look into especially preparing the RA.... . Salary no increase but more safety responsibilities .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
