Hi Thomas,

Consultancy is good bro. Some of the advantage being a consultant:-
1. You will gain many experiences in varius fileds of industries.
2. Networking all over the country..
3. You are train to be a trainer (ISO awareness, internal audit)
4. Be a ISO certification auditor.
5. You also can do consultancy on your own (side projects)

A lot of consultant is also a part-time auditor. If you are good, you can open your own consultancy firm.

PM me, maybe you can refer some clients to me in the future.

Job title : Teller
Job description: Customer Service (enquiries, transactions)
Age: 28
Company: International
Industry: Banking & Finance
Years in company : 6 years
Location : Brunei
Tenure : Permanent
Employment level: Senior
Experience before joining : fresh grad
Pay upon joining : B$1000 ( was temp for 1yr tat time sal was just $450 - $600)
Current Pay : B$1600 (incl. allowance)
Qualification : Degree
Honestly speaking I feel like I m wasting my degree and am not proud in what I m doing now... sigh... Wanted to look for a new job but not sure what type of job and post I can search and apply for. Is it too late to switch industry since I m 28, I wanted to look for one with a better pay like at least 2k plus. Lets not look at the currency but the amount. A degree holder could have earn more esp one wif work exp, but I m not sure about mine given the nature of my job is just clerical.

Any advice? Any suggestions on what type of job I can apply for? Am thinking of probably admin or something like that. I am not reluctant to learn new stuff tho.
