I have to tell you admin and HR pay starting pay really sucks
If you want money, be in sales
I dunno, maybe you should review your [b]resume presentation etc

Erm. Ya. A bit fussy la. A trait of the Virgo
Of course I wan $$$, I went to a few brokerage firms but didn't succed.
I think those are out cos most of them required me to go entertaining after working hours like drinking, pubbing etc very frequently.
I can't do that cos I don't smoke nor drink. Don't know how to play majong or cards either ( ya. boring. I know)
Resume presentation?
U mean the written copy layout ?? -
If you are the boring kind then maybe gahment job suits you just fine. But first I need to ask is how big is your paper? Bachelor only? Honours? Merit? Paper big got high chance to get into civil service. Their welfare and benefits do not lose out to private sector and it is quite stable job

if u are not hungry enuff, quit looking for food

Finished my final exam in june, den start looking in july and aug 1st started work
Current job is just okie only. People good but very freaking far from my house..but itÂ’s a good 40-50% increase as compared to my first job after I graduate from Poly
But itÂ’s not exactly the market rate because I donÂ’t have any relevant experience for this jobÂ….
Hopefully I get my results and can fight for better pay after probation
I think it's okie to take yr time to find...

To truly understand why private sector ppl always say gahmen sector ppl a lot of stories, one muz go inside to verify the accurate-ness of those rumours. I been through all that and I must say those rumours are verified to be 100% accurate!!!! Those who doubt my findings can go inside and see for themselves to be convincedOriginally posted by FireIce:u enjoy tai ji and plenty of red tape -

I tried DXO @ MIndef.
I think I didn't do very well.
Sometimes I think the interviewers are pretty funny.
I mean, they asked the job here could be very routine, very rigid, and one day if i find it boring, would i leave the job?
I mean, HellO!! Obviously would go la. Why they want to ask me such bo laio question?
Of course I said I wouldn't leave. I told her cos to some people it provide a sense of security.
I lied obviously. I am sure she knows too.
Diaozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. -

Just now I went for an interview for catering sales executive.
The interview went pretty well. Met HR manager for the 1st round.
Then proceed to see his boss for 2nd round.
But towards the end, we can't come to terms on the salary.
Not I am demanding but the salary they offered is below what I gotten from my previous job with my Diploma Certificate.
Alamak. -
So far, the private sector I went for didn't care much about the school I am from.They neber even ask me for my transcripts le.Originally posted by Steph84:actually degrees from NTU/NUS/SIM/SMU... u know

But those are brokerage firms ya.
But I think some pretigious organisations like top tier banks want those good students. They stated for Strong degree, at least 2nd upper honurs etc. -

If it takes too long for you to get a job, think about it, were you selected for interviews before? If selected for interviews, but never get the job, work on your interview skills bah. If never selected for interviews, work on your resume to market yourself better. If you have powerful resume and great interview skills, then I don't see why you don't get the position unless everyone else has better skills than you did.Originally posted by shannie27:Any fresh graduates around here?
How long does it take for U peeps to find a job?
Before you say you don't have much to speak of regarding your resume, bear in mind that it's sometimes a matter of perspective... Someone laying bricks to build a house can say, I'm a bricklayer, alternatively another guy doing the same job can say, I'm building a beautiful house for this lovely community. -

I got the interviews but most times I feel like I am not well prepared enough for their qns or pay- wise didn't meet my expectation
