5!5!
from raintown here.
after at kl 5 years plus, a sudden transferred to sg due to business unit divested

My hardcopy resume's a one-pager.

All it has is a list of my degrees, professional qualifications, last 5 jobs and no more than 5 bullet points about 'other skills' like languages, specific knowledge and experiences.

And when I describe my job, I don't write a long story. Title, duration, company and one sentence on the scope of what I do (eg. I am the "xxx role/process owner/decisionmaker" at US$xxx million/billion revenue business).

yup. many tasty food...

please enlighten me .. any sample ?

MOM refused to give reason according to some companies that helped me applied. My renewal of SPass also got rejected. My company said no reason stated.....

Did you change jobs frequently? Did your previous employers reported something bad on you to the MOM?

I don't there's a statistical reference. But I have to say, my colleagues and I do hear this "perception" a lot. Maybe it's just my office. 2 of my 4 bosses since I arrived in Singapore have been Ipohites. Now that it's my turn, I have to say favouritism or familiarity does play a part. My hand picked successor will be another Ipoh-mali I recruited from our KL office.

i was holding SPass. There were few renewal cases being rejected in my companies recently, i was one of those.
I am clean sheet, no bad record. not ideas why kept getting rejected.
I once suspected it was because the information given for applications did not tally, coz my first spass application, my ex-company never revealed the info they filled for me, just worried they had wrong info submitted.

sharelah your power 1 page resume , remove loh all your personal info .....so all inexperience member like me can learn mah

no. that was my first job in singapore.
I dont think my company would help me renew if they did report something about me.

Like I said. Already fully shared by giving step by step instructions. If you can't draft your own resume with instructions like that... maybe a one-pager's not quite right for you lah.

did u appeal for it?

Btw, if anyone's interested in the Samsung Galaxy S II... Singapore sucks. No contract price here is $998... but only RM2090 in KL (Samsung shop) and HK$5300 in HK (Fortress).

Hi Sean,
I would say there are a lot of malaysian from all over malaysia is working at sg... it happen that i meet 2 from my hometown when i switch company.. it's only in my own dept... so i somehow agree with you, but not on the point of location.

S2...well...just as what you mentioned....you can always get the gadget cheaper in sg right? at least by half of rm you would spend..

no. these companies always tried EP for me if rejected then SPass, if both got rejected, they would just say sorry, chance of appeal being rejected is 100% i think. they dont wanna waste 3 weeks time waiting for me

yeah. i was surprised by the pricing as well. It's more expensive than iPhone4 in Sg. Not many would choose a more expensive Samsung over Apple.

More room for price drop... get it when you need it..

The thing is that there are not many people who are still deciding whether to get an iPhone or Android. By now, you're either an Apple fan or an Android fan. Apple fans won't get the S II no matter how cheap it is, and Android fans won't buy an iPhone even if the S II was more expensive.

I'll probably get the S II from Malaysia on my next trip home and save S$150.

Added on June 24, 2011, 12:27 amLooking at how Samsung has priced the Tab or Galaxy S, they didn't drop the price much at all, until the replacement model was no more than 3 or 4 months away.

However, the telco subsidised prices with plans, did drop quite a bit 6 months or so after the launch.

Ya, RM2090. Cousin scanned the Samsung advert from newspaper.

How do you claim back Gst? You're not a tourist.

And why can't you get a phone line with a phone bought from Malaysia ?
