QUOTE(jett991 @ Feb 14 2012, 05:16 PM) hi,yhoong,nice to meet you.. Hi, nice to meet you. Actually depend on the company you apply for, not necessary they demand for experienced worker. the best way is just keep sending resumes, no other option unless you want to do thing that once mentioned in this thread, go to the recruitment firm in Sg one by one and apply it on the spot. Duno this worked onot. i never try before.I am from Johor..and the distance between SG and my hometown not really far.it takes about 1 and half hour to SG...sadly,I dun even receive even 1 interviewing call for the time being.... is there any alternative for me to reach these interviews as u think fit??thanks^^ Added on February 14, 2012, 5:19 pmor is it true that they demand experienced worker nowadays? |

For job applicants, you can 'proactively' call them if can. If you don't hear from them after 1 month, it means, balik kampung.
Most people are here for money, safety and cleaner environment. Anything else is the same. It is your life. So, it is up to you to keep yourself entertained. Go play badminton la... I wait for you here... come come... |

I just got back from work
Added on February 14, 2012, 9:58 pmAny bros here staying in Gelang Patah around Nusa Perintis area? How is the place? Recently I saw many properties for sale around Nusa Perintis I in the same area, getting tempting since the monthly payment would be about the same as rental I am paying now.

No such thing as "time frame".I have been waiting for job interview for 1 month plus d...receive no reply until now...TT If I like what I see in a candidate's resume, I'll get HR to call him/her the next day, interviewed, offered and once accepted, get everything done from their employment pass to opening a new bank account to bank in their sign-on bonus to temporary serviced apartment booked for their arrival - all within a week or two. If I don't like what I see, it goes into the waste basket. It depends entirely on the candidate.
