Sell yourself abroad....go look for a job elsewhere and i mean another country. at least u get paid for what you are. In any country above 3rd world, they have a minimum salary threshold. So, u get paid what u are worth. From the trends and culture, we will only be applying this in the next couple of years.
EDIT: I have known about this since during college days, decided that in order to get a good job with good salary...i must leave this country to work. And i am. it's a blessing!

QUOTE(ninjamerah @ Apr 21 2006, 09:19 AM) the normal question in the interview," Please explain to us why we should hire you". Most people give the same bullsh*t response. Teamplayer lar, work hard lar, willing to learn lar, an asset because of traits lar, can make the company move forward lar....bla bla bla. I really don't know why they even bother with this question anymore. so saturated. it's not like we are applying for a management position.

QUOTE(thefryingfox @ Apr 21 2006, 09:29 AM) living in another country is not so easy u need to pay tax...for instance msia if u come and work here, you will be deducted 28% per month from your pay. And then theres the staying here policy and such. If your contract finish, u have to go back to where you came from and after 6 months come n work here again if your original contract was not renewed and u plan to work in another company here. Hmm come to think of it, lets say your starting pay was 2k, how much increment do you ask when you are about to jump ship to another company? what sum did u ask when they asked you "how much is your expected salary"??? I'm getting an international contract....which seeing myself going from country to country to work. I have no tax whatsoever.....yet. until they decide to put my arse in a single location permanently. My brother is working in the UAE and he's not been taxed. Maybe it's an annual thing.

QUOTE(thefryingfox @ Apr 21 2006, 10:39 AM) Intel not really first class if u got lubang, even 3rd class can enter provided you are good and offcourse the test is more harder. anyway, i think malaysia only got this tax i guess. im thinking of going some where and get a PR status. i hate to come back to this shite hole Aye! Aye! i hear ya...that's why i'm so glad to leave here next month. Might be difficult at first to leave family, gf and frens behind. Even my current company CEO told me not to come back here. he's from canada.

From my recent experience...they called me asking me some general questions about whether i know what the job entails, how much my current salary, what job i'm doing etc.
He sent someone here to interview me in person and brought along all the necessary documents (contract, letter for the embassy etc). If all goes well, sign contract, prepare visa, off i go.
Usually they will initiate all the interviews, they will do it through the phone or if they have a office locally...you might be interviewed by local peeps.
I got mine through online.....sent a letter stating how, why and my initiave to work abroad for the company.

QUOTE(cywings @ Apr 22 2006, 03:05 AM) wildchai, you are a pretty lucky dude... congrats man. Thanx...not lucky....just blessed! @wyyew yeah....show SPM?? for what? there is a hard-earned first class or 2nd-upper degree if front of them....and they want to see SPM cert?? As i know, they want to see SPM cert is partly because of your consistency to excel and maintain your standard. but still, doesn't a degree trump an SPM cert?

QUOTE(providence @ Apr 25 2006, 11:11 AM) Fresh graduates nowadays should be thankful or lucky to get a 4 digit pay as starters. Dont worry about the amount as you are still in probation period. If you can perform well in your job, trust me your pay will be increased after that, maybe double or triple. So, my advice - work hard, prove yourselves and you'll see the results BTW, for those who think the RM1-2k salary is a bit too low for a fresh graduate, just to inform you all that my first pay was only RM230. It was too low until the HR staff there didnt know whether its necessary to deduct any amount for my EPF or not. I kept my eyes closed and continue on working and until now my salary is roughly 30 times more that I what I got at the first place that's good. U got that amount with the same company?
