yes why not? PAP is always malaysian friendly

thats interesting. mind sharing more with regards to the intern's job scope since he is earning $8K and he has to work 16 hours a day because as far as i know internship in those BBs means office assistant work as in running errands, but mostly doing photocopy and fax.

thanks for sharing. now i get a better idea.

well i could be wrong because i once attended a career talk conducted by HR folks in those BBs.. and they said the interns usually perform simple office admin work and even to the extent of buying/making coffee for their bosses. but they never rely the interns to do real work.

i thought its fair enough to hire someone with first class results to do those minor work at $8K.. especially in this amazing industry.

i would definitely wanna see the personality of my potential staff. that is one very important thing. if he cant even handle those simple tasks without complaining then what more can i expect from him to perform other important tasks?

my perception is that everyone can actually work in those BBs, not just elites. because its not some rocket science work. so if i want to hire you, i would have need to make sure you are the right person with the right personality that i am looking for. if you dont have the skills or knowledge, i can always train you. but i cant train or change your attitude/mindset.

however the stiff competition today has made it so tough that they are now hiring only the cream of the crop.

you do have a point there. the company should use this opportunity to assess the candidate. i appreciate for your input as didnt thought of that. thanks for the enlightenment, and sorry if i am digressing

i must warn you that working as a Auxiliary police in spore is a very tough job. besides the mundane boring working job scope, they require you to work long hours (here i mean more than 12 hours a day). the turnover rate for the position is very high, and they are always recruting because they are always shorthanded.

most people quit because cannot stand of it. there must be some reasons why they pay you so well of its simple work tasks.

you will be working like a security guard. probably with no gun.. i am not sure but when last time i enquire about this job i was told no gun were to be given. if you see an aux with gun, then he must be a real cop. but that doesnt really matter.. make sure you can withstand these

- extreme long working hours (often need to work more than 12 hours a day)
- hard to apply for leave or MC (even when you sick your supervisor will force you to come work, because there is no one else to substitute you.. yes they are that shorthanded)
- tough working environment (sometime when they assign you to some events you cant even go to lunch/dinner or even go to toilet)

just sharing some insights here. i almost took up this job last time after my STPM. now i am glad i didnt.

by right it should be like that.

but yours only one or two items... no need la.. dont scare people. just bring it over.

maybe you should seek for another company. this TEP thing is seldom heard of.. and i seldom see foreigners doing their internship here.. even local undergraduate like me find it hard to secure a good internship in spore (not sure other field, but biz/banking is hard! as industrial training/internship is not so prevalent since its not our graduate requirement). so i would assume that the employer would need to satisfy some certain criterias.

even yourself last time also said this is the first time your company is doing this. so most likely its like the reason above, this company cannot apply for TEP.

keep your options open.

based on my experience in school.. those ah tiongs are darn GOOD. easily own other students (like me) esp sporeans academically.

i dont think most of the tiongs can actually blend into the society well.. they usually mix with their own people and many of them are arrogant (guai lan because they excel in everything).

yes, you can easily tell from their appearance or accent on first look.

just my perception.

your HR dept has done the application for you and unfortunately your application failed.

this is very simple and why cant you understand?

all the HR not doing work or not helping you to appeal were merely your guesses. i dont think it is good to point your finger at anyone before you confirm.

why are you so desperate to coming to spore to intern? like i said earlier, it will not be easy. you can always come to work in spore later with your complete education.

you say you are not blaming anyone but you sound as you are. if you carry on the attitude like this, i dont think you will go far in your career.

all the best and stop whining

ok, you may be right he has not apply for you yet. if you have just went through your interview like few days ago, please be patient. in case if you dont know, it is very normal in work field to take a few months time from interview to starting work for a new comer. like one of the forummer mentioned earlier, people do things by prioritizing. and yes you are not in their priority.

levy is one thing, are you gonna work with WP even after your graduation? whatever reason it is, i believe they have their reason not applying a WP for you. maybe you can find out from them.

however, the point i am going to make is that why so despo wanna intern in spore? despite the low pay, i think going through all these hassles is simply not worth it. i know i know you have your reasons to work here but you have to understand the fact that you are a foreigner in this land and it is their say whether you can or cannot work here.

since you have been rejected once, it is very likely that you will be rejected again. IMO, doing internship in msia wont differ much. no?
