Companies in Singapore very choosy in choosing employees?
-
Most companies preferred those with working experiences and stated out lots of requirements in the job advertisment and cause many fresh grads and entry level applicants can't get a job.
Many companies are very choosy to the extent that they dun give probation period to those job applicants to test their ability and attitude to work.

no harm for fresh grads to send in resume to try
sometimes companies will consider and give a junior position
i think the problem lies with the job seekers being choosy about location, pay, benefits.....
tts why a lot of posts are given to FTs becos they are willing to take anything....... -
This is not the worst. My superior requested an applicant to come for an interview. But he's not interested to hire him at all. He's only interested to know who is his superior as he is interested to hire him instead.Originally posted by ah-soh:Most companies preferred those with working experiences and stated out lots of requirements in the job advertisment and cause many fresh grads and entry level applicants can't get a job.

FTs i know rent places, they can always change flats to suit the location. Locals dont do that
sometimes people have to be choosy, unless u are desperate of course. -

Untill now i can't believe my ears nor explain why they need an experienced packer when they are only hiring for 3 weeks to pack some products onto shelves for a new supermarket nia so difficult meh ?

that's why must study hard, go good university.
even before you graduate you'll get job offers. -
what do you expect? the companes to hire a bunch of useless people? and expect to survive? Get the reality check... you want a good company to work in... they want a good employees also...
-
Can you determine an entry level job-seeker is useless without even giving him/her a probation period to prove him/herself? Just because he/she is inexperienced DOESN'T mean that he/she is useless.Originally posted by banzie:what do you expect? the companes to hire a bunch of useless people? and expect to survive?

nil
-
If you good they sure hire you.
Otherwise how other people get jobs?
If they can get, you also can. Unless you lacking something. -
They are choosy bcos they they have many choices. One ad on newspaper how many ppl go apply for the job?? If only 3ppl go, they can be choosy meh? 30ppl go apply for the job. sure they can be choosy.
-
they want experience and then those who have experience die. nobody replace them as they only want experience. If people dun have first time where got experience. they need a head start right? those in higher management no brains, even a child know. stupid companies

firstly... getting someone good among the non experience is a risk... not worth trying if there is a choice.
secondly giving a choice of a few... anyone would choose that who has more experience and more useful... simply to say if you can't find a job... likely you lack something the company wants...
Companies are willing only to test new employees only with proper qualification and at a lower pay... -
there's something fundamentally wrong with the labour system right now.
-
too much experience and u say they old. No experience u say they greenhorn.
-
if you are the boss.. you will most probably look for experienced people who are willing to take a lower pay.Originally posted by ah-soh:Most companies preferred those with working experiences and stated out lots of requirements in the job advertisment and cause many fresh grads and entry level applicants can't get a job.

This is life...don't tell me you won't...unless you have tried.

not neccessary. Some in fact prefer fresh graduatesOriginally posted by ah-soh:Most companies preferred those with working experiences and stated out lots of requirements in the job advertisment and cause many fresh grads and entry level applicants can't get a job.

. Maybe a fresh grad's mind is not as polluted compared to one with working exp or an old bird aka la jiao. Fresh grad may have the fighting spirit in striving at work which some old bird don't have. And some old birds have very stuborn mindsets that are not easy to change.
on the contrary, some prefer and even prefer those with relevant working experiences is because maybe the job itself is a very fast-moving job in a very hectic environment that 100% cannot exceed deadlines and cannot afford any delays (etc procurements, import / export, shipping, logistics etc), the employer may not have time to train the entry level employee, and cannot afford any delay. -
this only leave rooms for the "better/more elite" fresh graduates...most who complained are the leftover ones. so it's doesnt make a difference.Originally posted by Phoebie:not neccessary.
