If you are willing, head south :-)

Interesting story normaldude. Keep up the good work! I am trying to job hop into SE from another line of work.

10 Stars....
let's set higher expectation...

one very common question and yet subjective.. how to get headhunted? I had asked this somewhere else and I want to know more. May be some people have different experience and so on.

Normally headhunters find you, you don't find them. They have an extensive network of contacts in the industry they are in and are very knowledgable in their field. Companies that are willing to pay for specialized people might not be willing to go through the agony of filtering jobstreet/jobsdb applications. It's just simply too much trouble and effort and the right candidate for the job probably does not know and did not apply the vacancy. The person might already be very happy with his job already and not interested to move to another place. That's where the hiring company get their worth from headhunters.

When the headhunter interview me, they not only know who I work for and what I am working on. They know who are the competitors, the partners, the customers, the team size and even reporting structure to a certain extent. I cannot confirm how the headhunter got my contact. My resume has been hidden in jobstreet/jobsdb and I never applied any jobs in more than few years and even changed my hp number. I suspect they got my contact from one of my well connected ex-colleagues who have been in the same industry for more than 10 years.

I'm wonder how large is their network.. pretty cool.

Want to be headhunted? Be an expert in a niche, e.g. a few of your articles are published

Great thread. I'm a fresh Diploma grad in SE. Almost done with my JASPER course but not doing so well as I'm more used to using VB(made a little database system for my practical at STIDC).

Trying to get my Degree this year. Any seniors here has tips for me on studying, before I enter the university?

Envying brian12988 as I'm 24.

lol...all due to my dad....earlier in life..after spm, i wanted to take the break and work..but he said cannot coz ur trial grades are quite bad..so in january the following year..he shoved me in to college...finished in a year..no break at all..poof went into uni...3 years in and out...no long holidays at all in my intake..everyone had 3 months to 6 months..i only had 1 month longest..

now the only thing i am hoping is i get sent more overseas..then that way..i can build up experience and move on with life..
i reckon the 10k is not counting allowance..
