Hi all, my friend told me we stand higher chance to apply job if we state SG address and phone number in resume (regardless if we are PR), is this true?
May I know how many from this thread applied for job while in Malaysia?
Thanks.

QUOTE(Aloong @ May 18 2010, 12:21 PM) i think the diff is by putting local contacts, u give the impression or to have them ASSUMED that u are staying around in SG or maybe not PR, but at least EP. So it's easier to access or see u than ppl staying in M'sia. They have the impression u are around town. Resume is just like first appearance. Whether they like ur face or not, in this case, ur face is the resume. It's something like preference /perception. And unfortunately if they dun contact u, u won't get a chance to explain, sell urself, etc.. QUOTE(r1v3r @ May 18 2010, 12:54 PM) there is no motivation to get a person in JB if they can get a person with local contact. If I am the one who make phone call, I will avoid overseas call if I have alternative local contact. Thanks for feedback. Is it enough to have just SG phone #? How about address? I think those staying in JB will have higher chance to get called than those in KL or Penang, is this true? (assumption: all candidates have same qualification & requirements, only difference is location in MY). |

QUOTE(Nokia convert @ Nov 13 2010, 01:39 AM) i have been hearing many EP rejected cases recently. It seems like gov is seriously tightening control over the influx of ppl like us. Anyone working in HR can shed light on this? I was lucky for mine to be approved last month. Is this true? Mean it will be harder for newcomer to apply for jobs in SG? |

QUOTE(crapp0 @ Nov 18 2010, 11:29 PM) Application development using java is still sought after. Since its OS independent. plus it'll run on legacy machines since a large majority prefer "old is gold". You wont believe how many businesses wont bury windows xp or programs that only support a win xp environment. Im talking to you lloyds register. Thanks bro I'll need to brush up my programming skills first... I'm thinking to venture into Android and iPhone programming... QUOTE(crapp0 @ Nov 18 2010, 11:45 PM) yeah, most businesses are resistant to change since they dont want to disrupt their operations or force themselves to learn how to use an OS again. Ya, I noticed this among my co-workers too... I'm using win7+Office2010 now but some of them still using XP+Office2003... but at least my current company is literally forcing all employees to migrate to Windows 7 and Office 2010 by phase... |

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Nov 19 2010, 07:46 AM) most of those Android and iPhone programmer have to work in India. Not much of that demand in SG though. Mayb there are but those big company that do iPhone programming usually have their programmers in India. Thanks bro for the heads up Then I should venture into another field. Been waiting for months for calls from SG companies  |

Hi all, will we stand higher chance to get a job in SG if we take a short course to study in SG while also looking for job opportunity?
