i juz got my degree and plan to get a job in sg...but haiz...it is always hard to get it

no reply`T.T

I don't know how true is it, but my friends told me in Singapore, resume should be 2pages long ONLY.

i already worked here for 2 years.

Sorry, bout how did u work without obtaining a permit first?

how would you think I worked without a permit in the first place?
you're confusing me, mate

I'm confused too.
You said the MOM refuse to approve your permit. so u need to go back.

Mean u work on work permit and on renewal you got rejected ? Can ask which industry ?

thanks

hmm... my CV is more than 3 pages as I done a lot of projects..... as long as you can organize your CV nicely, it shouldn't be a problem... good luck.

9 times rejection and you have been work for 2 years...

good sentences..

did u find out the reason why they reject ur work permit application?

A good resume should be one page long.

Can you show me your one page resume? I'm impress

Coz I hardly come across rejected pass renewal cases.

I hate to agree with mercury8400 but it's true. A one page resume is good enough, at least that's what I submitted.

I realised that alot of Malaysians working in SG are actually came from Perak, is this true? why ah?

Simple. Perak & Ipoh (used to) produce a lot of kids and there's nothing for them after SPM. There are no (respectable) universities or tertiary institutions, so they go off to KL, SG or overseas to study. Those who come back after uni (like me) find out that there are no major 'international' companies/employers in Ipoh apart from the semicon firms. So (like me) they venture out again after a short stint in Ipoh.

Statistic reference please, why bother asking why when you not even confirm whether it's a fact or not?

seriously ?

2 pages I would say is ideal. Anything more means inefficient.
