It is hard to enter any mid tier acc firm in SG?
for fresh junior audit associate position

i'm not so sure...i was thinking that i'll go to work..get as much knowledge and info as i can.. then open my own personal company that function same as well...kind of a wild thought.. or i'll just aim for high position high pay?

Must be d stupid HR la... Who fault??? Where got ppl tend to offer a freshgraduate salary to experience ppl? If they think they cannot offer the applicant expected salary then better don't select la...

Hi all,

I have a unit to rent at Telok Blangah Block 51 - master room with attach bathroom.

Room is available now till August - already obtain owner's consent to rent out for short period.

Typo? how much the room cost for such short period per month?

I quote d caucasian example!... And, the caucasian that interviewed me is hiring manager or immdeiate superior for the post that I interview!... I didn't says all hiring mgr are caucasian, ok?...
Of course, the hiring manager think my working exp is suit for their post and they shortlisted me for interview!... If not, why they call me for interview? Why should I need to depend on this small little thing to boost up my confident?... If they don't really stated the important or main role in recruitment ads, it means that they are intentionally to hide something which is the turn over for that position is very high and they depressed to get in new staff!... That's why they tend to hide it...

How long did you plan to work before you will have enough financial support for your company? you plan to work in marketing field? but is good to think wild because you only can go wild while you are young, if you are young la..haha

Have u done survey in sg? A tonnes of ppls just hold diploma from polytechnic...
Do I care others Malaysian willing to take lower pay? And, are u sure they tends to hire only malaysian to fill the position? they only prefer to hire singaporean, ok?

Are you PhD holder and trying to looking for a job in sg? If yes, my best advise to you: "Better Don't" coz of ur nationality... Usually, all the lecturers vacancies in University will go to foreigner (Caucasian/ someone really hold a very good PhD from reputable university)!... Bear in mind, they still want to maintain their best university world ranking!... As I told you, sg really hv a tonnes of diploma from poly, ok?
1. " You need to highlight what so special about your x years of experience."- I did highlight all of my special during the interview. For HR, they just thinking of ur expected salary is suit their offer salary range? If u r exceed their limit, it mean they hv less chance to get the job! (HR will always think of the currency conversion when they tends to offer to a foreigner)!....

2. "Working in a high tech company does not means you are the key person that hold valuable technical expertise."- You know how much valuable information and experiences can be contribute to their company? And, that's inter-related and can apply directly to the jobs tasks...

if it make u more happy, they are also tonnes of people only o-level and ITE
i am certain they dun only hire malaysian, they also hire indian, pinoy and china
seriously your survey not powderful enough, cause u still stuck there

Hello... Do u think MNC will let you hang around there for more than a year if u r really cannot perform?
They will kick u out and ask u to leave before they convert u to permanent staff... U don't even hv a chance to work there for a year, ok? Please be check before u commented la...

i dun even know why tat guy is in this thread if all he thinks is that we will never be hired because we are foreigners.
i guess everyone here are abnormal cases who went to accept fresh grade pay and ignore our experience.

i dun even know what to reply here
so u are the best in everything you do
u know the inside out of every single mnc's
it is a loss to the companies that they do not want to hire such a talented person.
i give up...

omg u are right, u the most perfect candidate i ever seen
recognize degree with 5 years experience from MNC that use advance technology and with valuable technical expertise
hahaah...

Hey Ivan, why u r so typical? U like to simpy judge on other ppl!... I don't need to wrote everythings that I know at here!... And, I know sg hire alots of indian, pinoy and china on this few years (Did I tell you I don't know)! Some of the jobs they are requires the candidate must fluent in speaking Chinese!... Indian and pinoy can do it? Mostly they hire Pinoy for retail line!... Indian in IT line!... Do u think China ppl good in english? My SG told me that their companies hired China managers that can't speak, read, listen english!...
I also know sg got alots of o-level/ ITE/ A-Level/ N level ppl... When talk bout university/ colleage range should be diploma in majority group at there...
If you want to talk about the majority of citizens owned degree in a country in asia!... It should be Taiwan, China, Japan, Korea hong kong! Even, Malaysia also got more degree holders than sg!... Nowadays, Malaysia graduate tends to study master... Sooner Master degree will become very common in M'sia... As u can see so many universties and colleage universities and overseas invested universities as well... Still hvnt include the oversea postgraduates....

Are u currently accepted the fresgraduated pay? Don't be too typical especially u post a comment here... Try to accept and share ur view with others and not toutoring....

I also become freshgraduated b4... That's why I knew this theory well... Freshgraduated degre holders deserve an entry pay salary because they don't hv relevant exp. They only may ask for higher pay when they hv enough exp (This is real, No offence to all freshgraduated)!... That's obvious if the employers are trying to offer exp candidate with entry pay!... Do u understand?....
