Maybe I should clarifies job hopper refer to at least minimum 2 years stay. With my experiences of job hopping, it does not turn off employer if u can protray the required skills. In this emerging and radical change of organization, employer indeed had diversed their business and in need candidates that have diverse background and initiative to challenge. In order to gain these skills, staying in an organization will limiting individual potential and exposure. Individual should explore more challenge that out of the scope what u are doing now. Ex: from logistic to HR, customer service to HR, this are example of challenges that I meant. Most of the people will not willing to step into this diversify career because they are doubts with their competency and stay @ comfort zone.

I had encouraged plenty of 20's and 40's peers to take up diverse role when given opportunities. Business recruitment nowadays is not targeting @ specialization skills of an individual, but the diversed exposure skills that able to assist or emerge the skills to multiple industries.

When I judge a candidate, specialized a same job for 10 years does not impress me, rather a multiple 3-4 jobs skills in 10 years definite impress me.
I do not force individual to follow, but that is the emerging industry is toward in near future.

If I have Master degree in IT and various professional certifications - Microsoft > 12 certificates (MCTS x 6, MCITP x 4, MCDST), A+, Security+, Server+, ITIL v3, CWNP (CWTS,CWNA), but without job experience. Should I accept the offer for 1 year Help-desk position with Rm 2000 (basic)?: . I was advised by some of my friends to gain experience first before applying for a better technical position .. is it the right step?     

Thank you     

An unemployed fresh Master post-grad (2 years unrelated experiences - cashier, clerk, etc), with > 10 Microsoft certifications (MCITP, MCPD,MCTS ... and so on), ITIL v3, Comptia (Sec+) and etc,  and lastly from EC-Council (CEH) is looking for a job . Recently, he/she got a lot of offers from companies for a help-desks positions and the offer is around RM 2.0K - 2.8K.

My questions:

1) Will you take the job if the company offer the same benefit and salary to the other candidates which are the real fresh grads (no prof cert and average CGPA)
2) If you doesn't mind about the same benefit and salary which your mission is to grab the experiences first, but later you have been informed that you need to sign for 2 years contracts, will you take it?

Thank you     

Can i have your advice? What kind of IT certification have you took during your career until you was offered with such salary at young age?

No one said you blowing cow, if got also at least that's not me  
Take it easy.

CCIE can easily hit RM15k per month, my comp got few CCIE engineer, unfortunately i'm not Networking background .
Anyway it required very costy training. Salary low/high is depend what you can do / contribute for your comp, and you will get what you want, good working experience is important.

Does every Japanese company underpay their staff? I was once underpaid in a Japanese company I joined before, too.

Ok. Ok. I agree with the whole thing and about the annual salary in the data I gave, its still a large amount if you convert it to monthly. I apologize for saying I know it all, ok? About job satisfaction, I have large passion on mathematics, accounting, economics, and computer programming and I have a very strong basic in SPM. I have no experience, I admit. I listen to your advise as you have seen much in this world. So I am already sure I am going to this field by my satisfaction and interest, then only looking for salary, I am not asking my employer to pay me high, just wanna know if any companies do pay quite a high sum to the fresh graduates, I can also GETTING EXPERIENCE & PROVING MYSELF there, can't i? Why can't I focus on both, GETTING EXPERIENCE & PROVING MYSELF and having quite high starting salary. As an interviewer, you said candidates who negotiate salaries with you, will be shown the door. I am not going to ask the employer to give more. I wanna which place offer me more. If you are saying working overseas will have to consider from many factors. I am here for any companies, even in Malaysia, can offer a job, whether its hard or anything to get myself paid higher. I am not ignoring the 'GETTING EXPERIENCE & PROVING MYSELF' here! Talking about AS, the salary is majorly determined by the number of professional exams one passed. Try do some research.

Ive employed candidates with lesser paper qualifications and experience but had the correct attitude compared to those who were highly qualified. In my opinion, attitude and character is more important that a papar qualification or the number of exams uve passed simply because its easier to groom a person with the right attitude instead of someone who thinks he knows everything before even starting.

Experience is important, but in AS without papers you are nothing! I don't know about your field, but in AS if you going to employ the one with less papers and correct attitude,  I think you have made a wrong choice.

I think AS is not about sales. What you mean about A-Level won't land you a good income? Its a platform to enter top universities in the world for AS degree!
