QUOTE(eataroundthebush @ Jan 16 2012, 08:16 PM) I think my resume is definitely above average, have had multiple people from HR industry help me revise it plus I worked on some major client engagements (especially in China), so experience highlighted throughout the resume should also definitely be OK. don't put Malaysia address, put "Relocating to Singapore" instead...I did hear that if SG companies see a Malaysian address they usually just automatically send it to the delete pile? Is it worth camping it out in Singapore for a while (Say maybe a month) so that my address is local? |

Huhuhu seriously, have you consider upgrading yourself ? maybe getting a diploma then a degree ? I always have a bit of regret of not pursuing my study further. If i did, maybe I could get a better job, a more relaxing job, higher pay and have more time to do all the things I want. oh well. |

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Jan 16 2012, 05:53 AM) SP (1 year 10 months) > EP (Sept until now) > PR (haven get yet, ngam ngam approved). Congratulation lester. later that mercury will come and flame again... seriously, i find it nothing wrong to hold WP. and WP and SP makes no difference. oh ya, for those who stay in JB, u guys can apply also. don't listen to those ppl saying stay in JB hard to get PR blah blah blah. i got no paper qualification (STPM only), travel daily from JB to SG also can get mine approved on my 1st attempt. so if u think you need it, just apply. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « As i know, there a parking for bike and car at (search google maps - 1.465238,103.76382 ) just for your convenience. (( don't park the bike at non-parking place, cos de KNN MBJB will tow back your motor.. i kena once)) Crossing the castam during 8.30 AM - 10 AM , its take around 45 minutes ( depend on traffic mood) Hope this help.

QUOTE(senyii @ Jan 17 2012, 09:21 AM) oh for PR the fee is lower?? less subsidy compare to 10 years ago but still cheaper than International student. Better chance to get Tuition Grant so it is about <$5k/year for a diploma course and ~$9k/year for a degree course depend on your major. Don't stop upgrading, SG is a good place to continue your study while keeping your full time jobs.by the way Lester what you working as? |
