just say that ur current job requires a lot of time from u and u always can't get leave for interviews lor. dun think ur market value will drop if it's just for a short period. Anyway i think a lot of employers are willing to wait one mth leh, that's how most people find job also mahOriginally posted by Pappy Lee:I may sound silly, but after finding out that most potential employers won't wait a WHOLE month for me, i felt stuck... miss a lot of opportunities like that
But then, if i quit now w/o finding another job first, i will be listed as UNEMPLOYED and my market value/ bargaining power will go down... i dread the days when i was unemployed for months...
But then again, i am EXTREMELY sick of my current company... should i carry on staying and wait hopelessly for a job that will still be waiting for me in 1 month, or take a risk?
need advices, thanks
so nice u have such supportive family. mine value my monthly contribution more than my happinessOriginally posted by klishcia:For me, i've been working 1yr+ with my previous employer and left the job last year Oct. Before i quit, i did talk to my parents abt it and they are ok with it. They allow me to quit without finding another job, took those few months as a break.I'll be starting my new job on 1 March.
If your family have no problem with you quitting this job, then quit. Go to job agency find a temp job for few months, when its abt to end find a permanment job. Normally temp job can convert to permanment.![]()

Nope.. I found the job in a job site.. I submit my resume then they (the company not agency) HR manager contact me for interview.Originally posted by Pappy Lee:so do u have much trouble finding that job?

Like some of my potential future employer, they do understand that they have to wait for 1 mth if they want me. And another one even say no hurry cos he understand some new staff may wana go for holiday after 1 mth notice..which means he can wait even 1 mth +.![]()
