Hi all, I have a question here..

So I was hunting for a job in singapore and applied some jobs thru Jobstreet.. some of the applications are under direct company application while some are under recruitment company.

So there was a person from recruitment company called me up for an interview and this noon I had my interview session with him.. The interview went smoothly and he introduced the job position (company background, benefits, allowance + OT etc) that I have applied for.

Then at the end of the interview, the interviewer said he will send my CV to the company and it's up to the company whether they'd like to interview me again or not..

So with the help of recruitment agency, do you think the chance of me being called up will be high?

I have been sending applications since 2 weeks+ ago and today was the first interview

May i know why it's illegal? I was thinking to rent smthg similar here

Is it? Hmm.. hopefully i stand a higher chance.. i had an interview with the recruitment agency yest and it lasted for only less than 10 mins.. asked my details and introduced me the job scopes if i was hired.. that's all

From what i know recruiter will filter and shortlist the right candidate 1st.. if can just send resume to the company with no filter then why they need recruitment agency right? Haha..

Hopefully i stand a higher chance through recruitment agency >< am really desperate for a job

I have got an interview tmr.. Hope to join you guys working in SG soon!

Hi taikos.. *raise hand*

I've been invited to an interview by a company. The first interview went quite well and I can see the interviewer likes me very much. He has also said that if I were hired then he'd be my supervisor. However, I still need to have an interview with the department manager before I could secure the job. So he said he will forward my documents and resumes to the department manager and if the DM wants to have an interview with me, the HR will contact me. *The interview lasted for 45 minutes FYI*

*5 hrs after the interview ended* and the HR called me to have an interview with the DM.

So I had my second interview session conducted by the DM this time few hours ago. These were the questions being asked by the DM.

*Intro yourself
*Tell me about your family members - where they are working, how much is their pay
*Tell me your hobbies
*Tell me what is the most exciting moment in your university life
*Tell me what is the most depressed moment in your university life
*Tell me why the reason why you have applied for job in our company
*Do you know how is the working environment here?

Ok so those are the questions. However, none of the questions discussed about the job position that I applied. Other than those questions, we chit chat about other non-relevant stuff.

The interview lasted for 30 mins and all I felt was the DM was trying to 敷衍 me..

According to the first interviewer (supervisor), if I pass thru the DM and If I were selected, my application would still need to be processed by the HR department but however, the process wouldn't be taking too long (in around a week). BUT

According to the DM, he still need to have a meeting with dunno who and who before confirmation of my application. The process takes about 2 weeks to a month. (much longer time)

Anyway, I might be worried too much but do you think I still stand a chance of getting the job? As what my frens said, my chance of securing the job is much much higher as I made it to the second interview after all. What say you?

Hopefully.. really hope that I can get the job as i like the job very much..

Hmm.. I dont think there will be next stage intervew anymore.. department manager would be the final stage.. if i were selected then most probably hr sends me offer letter and see whether i accept or not..

Yes, the work stress is quite high for that position but i'm ready for the challenges becoz i really like the job tho.. well, just pray and wait for them and i will oso search for other jobs at the same time.. the last scenario that i want it to be is I only get offered after i'm confirmed by other company which I like lesser..

According to the supervisor there will be few vacancies open for this position tho.. hope this gives me a higher chance.. just wait and pray..

3 months? so freaking long.. I'm a fresh grad only btw..

Forgot to mention that I'm just a fresh graduate, so the position that I have applied is basically fresh/entry level.. I don't think that hiring a low-level position like me needs to kacau the boss gua.. lol..

Oversee meaning? Anyway, from what I heard from the supervisor there are few vacancies available for that position so I'll just wait for a week and see how it goes..

For you guys information, it's actually a semiconductor company, entry level engineering position

my working location is in pasir ris.. yea.. semicon engineer in general.. will rent a room with my gf gua since her working location is also nearby EW line..
she working for SIA by the way

yup, as it's just nearby..

btw, anyone exchanged RM recently? What's the rate?
That day I exchanged 1k at city square and they gave me only 2.44

Salary belum disclosed yet as I still need to get confirmation of degree or transcript before offer letter will be issued.. get back to me again after 2 weeks and I might tell u

I would say Jobstreet is kinda useless for me.. I have applied to more than 50 job openings but none replied.. if you can get the email of the HR, email direct to HR will cut down the queue in my opinion..
