That's an example. RM1400 and RM1450 or RM1500 is ok. It;s hard to set without knowing the qualification and experience.

Nevertheless it's ok to set a bit high as it will give you room for nego.

Hi,

I'd like to ask...

if I applied for a job by sending an email to the company, and there's no reply for,say,2 weeks, is it OK to send a "follow up" e-mail to ask about my application status?
I know that almost all would state only shortlisted applicants will be contacted...but my career counsellor said it is fine to email them and ask, becos you can find out if you're wanted or not (lol), and it also shows that you're keen in the job.

If it is fine, how should I word the email?
Also, if I've already applied and no reply, is it bad if I apply again? Becos I see the company still advertising for people, and the requirements etc they listed all fit me, but I haven't heard anything from them.

I agree with WiraOne. Highlight only what's significant.

can you guys give me some idea...what to write before emailing my CVs to companies...i mean...what should i write in the email?

What about reapplying for a job,is that acceptable?

If I applied for a job say,a month ago,no reply,and the job is relisted. Is it OK to reapply, stating that I've applied for the job and would like to reiterate my interest in the job?

Everyone,

I have an unusual question.
It's about someone I know who quit his IT support job about 2.5 yrs ago due to mental illness.
Now after treatment & medication, he has regained control of life & feels ready to rejoin the industry. Good news is, He hasn't really forgotten everything he learnt. He is 29 yrs old with few yrs of IT work exp.

Obvious problem:
How does he account for this huge 2-3 years gap in resume?
Surely you don't expect him to mention that mental illness in the resume?

thanks both for your constructive advice.
He is in no way a danger to others, the illness just takes away his ability to enjoy a normal life.
Like you both, I am also leaning towards a cover up.
Mental illness in Malaysia is still badly misunderstood & carries a negative stigma.
I'll advise him accordingly. Since I'm decent at making up stories, perhaps I'll lend him a hand with that too 

It should be ok as long as the person is your direct supervisor. Not a workmate or from another department.

i'm a fresh graduate and i have a degree in business IT.
i'm not interested in applying for programmer positions, do i still have to write down the languages i've used back in college? i would say i'm only a beginner since my course didnt require much programming. but my computer skills i only have microsoft apps (word, excel, etc) listed down. is this sufficient or do i need to include all softwares that i've worked with?

1st time here! just know a lot of useful info to get here...
just want to ask, if that is the case, that means we already get the job right, which is the real goal.
so why bother wether they (the company) hire us because of the languages or not?

Would like to know if we have worked for few years do we still need to attach our copy of degree with our resume?
