in MNC / company , odesnt need to hv good results ,

eg: if u hv good result and cannot perform u also will out.

eg: my result was the best in the team , i was the worst performer.
in helpdesk eg.

then i change job position to tech support
normally now MNC mostly IT taken by contract outsourcing.

i gt a friend smt technician there, permanent postion he is only 1 year elder than me , that was his first job , he only gt certificate.

i tot mnc was very perssure
in chinaman company i do not only the hardware computer , i hv to do website asp and also write my own programming from beginiing,whatever they like , chinaman boss , he force every1 to change ID format , just because he dowan follow his btother's version that is very efficient (kiasu), every Product coordinator change their ID . , and my sup. and me, IT hv to giv opinion ,etc think for his thingy . previously I m full time computer hardware support,jusst that pc problem issue lesser.
overall MNC is way better , n higher pay.
after years and years u will get promoted just the time , versus your normal working (unscrewed things up) will do .
----------------------------------------------
chinaman company oo u come late abit they dedct ur salary , lunch 45minute vs mnc 1 hour , also come back late deduct ur salary. and u work for 5and a half day ,i interview in leaderstel is 6 days , i work shift work in MNC 4 days work then offday 2 days adi
my salary much higher .
and First Year , NO annual leave ,
my IT boss supervisor ,IT manager and also Account manager , another person is admin manager + also facility manager.
but slaalary remains 1.

electrical vendor , work 6 days fully , rm1300 salary , study above spm really makes up a different.
------------------------------------------------------


so beginning contract in MNC help me out , my job no doesnt require diploma , every1 can trouble shoot the pc , just that u got the chance to learn or not, after learn u will hv no problem in other interview , u doesnt need to study for the interview , it all (answer)came out naturally .
my same level IT colleague only hv certificate , but we get same salary /pay , that wat happen in MNC,flex.
but cert above is much better /sufficient to get yourself enough to live ,
spm holder or pmr , what can they do their salary just rm500 , work shift gt near 1k after deduct etc,even handfon also cannot take in the production . they come late they will get scolded , and writing name in the security blacklist book.
AND hah , even go to toilet also need permission / supervisor's id card!



off:my friend father dont even hv spm , mechianic , now boss,house also million ,2 tayar shop,open exhaust company , investing in other business. my friend , his son ,take care of the latest exhaust cop/factory,oo buy car sapsap sui ,oo u need car throw in gen2 , oo u accident your gen2 , get another 2nd hand car spare , oo another gt license throw in honda civic,thorw in honda city, my family also educated,far behind him.
i work my ass off , diploma n doing degree , life doesnt need to be repretition from beginning.
study hard , get a fcking place in company ,get screwed, generation by generation ,no , life doesnt need to go on n on this way.

Took me some time to read your posting (I didn't get some of your points though. It's too convoluted and poor paragraphing just kills it off)...Anyways, have you ever heard of "Life is not a Monopoly board game?"

Regards, Joey

p.s: Thanks for sharing your story though.

Results may help someone to get into MNC, but it definitely will not help someone to keep their job there. After getting into any company, only work performance counts.

In a month, I KIV-ed 2 (TWO) A4 Paper boxes. Each box contains ONLY Cover Letters (CL) and Curriculum Vitae (CV). Now, can you imagine how many applicants applying for a job in a typical MNC?

Regards, Joey

p.s: Don't get me started with application through emails yet.

I myself is a 3rd class degree holder. The first 3 years i worked in chinaman company. Do whatever need to do and even one whole project is only handled by me alone.
after 3 years, I was contacted by head hunters and tried for a MNC, and was interviewe after that hired.

So, experience matters. of course, please speak good english unless the MNC you applying is mainly doing chinese's business laugh.gif

Actually 2.8 is not too bad, still okok. The most important thing is how you present yourself to convince the interviewer that you are special and different from others. If you really brush up your technique in selling off yourself then you can go anywhere. Good luck and prepare well for all the interview =)

Actually nothing fancy in MNC.
If a local corp can provide you good package and better career prospective, why not ?

I'm currently working in MNC, I do saw some ppl move to local corp.

i got into MNC with 2 years working experiences.

Somehow MNC doesn't look at your result, they very much concern on your personality and working attitude.

for fresh graduate, they still look at result ... DHL Shine program stated there result needs to be above 3.7 ... there could be exception case but academic does matter a lot for fresh

for experience, as long as your expertise match their job scope then chances is very high

Because it could be a combination of many things that you put on your CV.

For a fresh grad, your uni results tell the recruiter that you know your theory.

Participation in other activities at school/college/uni (such as being part of the chess club, or Rotary, or Red Cross etc) tells a recruiter that you are well rounded, and not just a study machine. It also tells a recruiter that you are sociable and therefore would most likely to be easy to get along with.

Activities such as public speaking, debating, etc tells a recruiter that you have good presentation skills and are able to communicate well.

Sporting activities tells a recruiter that you are disciplined, motivated and able to do the hard yards required at work.

Remember, having these on your CV only helps you get noticed and the chance of being called in for an interview.

An interview is the next step, where the recruiter wants to know whether you are really what you sell yourself in your CV. In other words, they want to know if you are the right fit for the job, and the right fit for the company.

thats why i said there is exception case ...

example, let said the position for fresh grad required cpga 3.7 above and none the applicant fullfill the requirement, then those belows 3.7 will get shortlisted ... HR also human, they not machine ... they wont stop hiring if none aplicant >3.7

but if there is 10 applicants with result > 3.7, then those below 3.7 will be filter out ...

still, the selection criteria is different between each company
