A hydraulic trainer - swing and a miss

So a job came up as a Hydraulic Trainer in Kazakhstan, the remuneration wasn't as good as I expected but I decided to give it a go anyway. The problem is the job was advertised through a recruitment firm and they have been less than professional.


I had seen the position advertised about six months ago so I had some apprehension, why did the last person only last such a short amount of time? Was the incumbent not up to the job? Possibly, but as this was a worldwide search then one would expect a professional selection and recruitment process.

Kazakhstan is a miserably cold country, possibly the conditions were too harsh for the incumbent, there may have been management issues or even performance problems, the facilities were not up to scratch or no resources existed.

I firmly believe that from uncertainty comes opportunity so the more disorganised and under-performing the facility is, the greater chance to turn it around. There is also a worldwide search going on for a Training Manager, this may have something to do with retention. I would be looking forward to such an opportunity - always up to the challenge.
