QUOTE(yhoong12 @ Sep 24 2012, 09:38 AM) 20 only? you gotta be joking. please try harder. gambateh !! I wonder on average, how many job applications do you guys send before you get a confirmation on your application? Added on September 24, 2012, 9:39 am According to the thread is 6 October.i think you need to check the thread as they got mention need to buy ticket together or what, i not sure I usually dont go through jobstreet or monster. I have a relative who used to work for worldwideworker.com who helped me in the processing of my application but now that the company has be acquired by rigzone, the opportunities for employment has expanded since rigzone is a fairly popular site. I noticed that its way easier to get a job if you have some "contacts" within a company or specific industry who can vouch for you or recommend you. That was how i got my previous 2 jobs. The last job i had hardly required me to have a lengthy interview with the recruitment officer since i knew both her as well as my future superior who was the one who recommended me for the position.

You mean like Social Network is very important to change job? I do agree that with better Social Network, it helped a lot and comparing with friend helped you forward your resume to HR is way much more easier. But some time luck and company requirement do play some roles in job hunting, some can find it after send >20 application, some send >100 application also cant get one.I usually dont go through jobstreet or monster.

I don't know how true is for other industries but for OnG I'm currently in, we know most of the people in this circle and most move around this circle as well. so contacts play a large part in 'getting in'This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Sep 27 2012, 04:59 PM |

Added on September 27, 2012, 10:09 pm QUOTE(mercury8400 @ Sep 27 2012, 07:51 PM) Actually i have the utmost respect for you. Those burmese, indian and bangla usually survive around $200 dollars. They cook all their meals to keep the cost down and they buy their produce in bulk to enjoy near to wholesale price when purchasing goods in places like little india.how do you manage to makan on $280 a month? I can barely do it with $800 a month (i only eat economy rice almost everyday)? Are you sure it can be done? I knew one guy who did his shopping once a week or every fortnightly for the whole household. It also helps if your meals mainly consist of vegetables.
