really. gosh. They have the cough test right ? You have to show the Dr your balls when you cough.

The doctor is checking for hernia. Forcing a cough during a hernia exam causes your abdominal muscles to contract and increase pressure within your abdomen. This may force a hernia to bulge out, making it easier to detect during the examination.

to play safe, yes. Else how to take picture for X ray? shakehead.gif


kidding lah, fasting is needed to check your blood sugar level during our regular medical check up or when you do body Xray. Just do it to keep your blood sample and urine sample "normal". For jobs application, the main concern is HIV test.

if your jobs need some guts, they might check your balls. rclxms.gif

ok: some elite company may have different medical test ... mine was simple, dont need check back side.

Job application is like that one, the only thing you can do is just keep on apply, because you never know when you will be call to an interview, i think i heard some in this thread also wait for more than 1yrs. hmm.gif hmm.gif ,not sure, but need to have patience

noticed that some of you took a long time (or even one year) to get an interview.
just wondering. after an interview. usually how long do the companies take to contact you regarding offer (if you get the job)?
do they even contact you if you are rejected?
thanks.

Sorry ya, only experienced (4 years) applicant can jump queue. Junior level need to follow the normal route. But I think the new recruits should be in already. For KPMG Sg, I think the recruitment starts in March - June, orientation in July.

wah, so nice to have company share half of the interest.
May I ask a finance question: Say you have to pay same amount (say total 100k across 30 years) of interest money for a loan,

a) pay larger portion in early stage 

b) pay larger portion in later stage

considering the inflation or devalue of the notes you paid less VALUE with option B correct?
Assuming the principal is the same, the amount of interest you pay at the early stage or later stage depends on the interest regime across time ie. does the interest rate increase or decrease across time.

Unless you are comparing 2 loans with differing principal amounts, tenure and interest rates, you will never be given 2 choices with the exact same total interest amount... one of which is front loaded and the other is rear loaded.

I always compare cashflow. If I receive $XXX, how much $YYY do I have to pay back over how many years (which will yield the NPV of YYY)? It doesn't matter how much of YYY is interest and how much is principal. It's basically comparing how much comes into my pocket now vs (the NPV of) how much I need to fork out over the next 30 years.

Generally, the lower rate is ALWAYS better. No exceptions. If you want to fine tune, the lowest rate at the highest loan drawdown is better... which is why I opted for a reducing rate loan to fund a property that is under construction.

Normally after the interview, you need to ask or they will tell you when they will get back to you.

why did you join IKEa? I always think you have the ability to become an audit partner in your 30s.
