It is not about the time you put in, or the frustration that you face. In short, it's not about your feelings or emotional needs, and it's not about you.
It's about you compared to your competitors.
i certainly understand this sean. Which is why i needed to put extra effort into seeking employment in that foreign land, knowing my fight ain't gonna be easy since i am
AWAY instead of
HOME

Either you (1) improve your CV, (2) improve your profile or (3) apply to employers which attract fewer and/or lower quality competitors.
1) Same sentiments i had as well, which is why i mentioned i put a lot of effort in the CV as well. (I'm serious, already had a few employers opting to view my resume via Jobstreet alert the following day, SG +Msia)
2) Have been doing that ever since i graduated. Learned everything i know today mostly self effort. Even my current employment i am the youngest in the team, with one of the most experience in skills compared to others. But i certainly know this is hardly the case in Sg due to the competition. All in all my feelings are just..., i put up a good fight all these years, and im yearning to prove myself at the other side of the land.
3) Been having second thoughts on this as well, if its local territory I wouldn't go for it since i can secure a better one for my profile. But in this case, I am still having second thoughts. Clicked a few to try it out though, will see how it goes.
Anyway, all I want is just to get into a better working environment, where competition is there, challenges and reward awaits those who are worthy.
But ain't all the competition there is feeling the same thing...
Thanks for opinions input.

sometimes i'm thinking, is it because they dont value your experience much in Malaysia or they prefer their local ones barring the hassle to get work permit for foreigners?
exactly what I had in mind.
