support engineer have flexible time right? standby 24hr?

i would choose 3 smile.gif better hours and nearer to house
*
no,the jobs more like system engineer but i also not sure y its called supprt engineer.
there is no standby time,as i had been told by the panels.work on normal hour.
no 2 is wide n very broad company,since it covers Australia,Holland and Asia PAcific..
i think my value will be high a little bit if i go with this one.especially when i want jump.

I'd go for no 2. I assume that you have a degree right? Ya GD very hard to expand and anyone can do it.

and its not like GD has better hours anyway.

My suggestion : get job 2 . Dont worry about the distance. I know lots of people who actually live in Nilai/Seremban/Semenyih to work in kl smile.gif

ya,i will have my graduation this august...atm,im only using my transkrip results,actually they din have any look at my cert (choice 2 & 3)....during the interview session,they ask lots about my skills and technical parts,not even touching my academic result.. smile.gif im lucky that i can answer and explain to them very well..

erm,im also think postion no 2 is good enough for me ffor my future position...im willing to relocate for this position.

ya,2 is high cost travelling....
if i do math here,i can say that 2nd job salary will be lot more lower compare to 3rd job due to cost travelling...
but if compare to experience and future carreer,i think 2nd is better,am i rite?
im rily fresh grads who stuck in 2 most critical choices..

If I were u, I will choose 3 bcos u can learn other things which can be valuable to your next job. Besides that, you can learn to cope with pressure and meet deadlines. Mayb after working for a year or two you switch to IT jobs.  While u work in this place, u can save money and invest wisely in stock and funds. That's my opinion. BTW, I do some research and found out that flexi e solution is not an MNC. I know that MNC usually pay fresh 2k and above.

hmm,u make good point there...i will update with u guyz what my decision..thx a lot!!!

btw,what is MNC? manufacturing company?

and i got another call for ocbc bank,the call actually was screening test to interview me about my interest in ocbc vacancy, "Trainee Officer",paying at least rm2.2k per month....anyone know bout this Trainee Officer..he said i will undergo training for 3 months(forgot) then will be appoint to IT position and he also said that my job going to be involved with SDLC...

Don't worry about ur skill. Try to save some money first. I have a lot of my fren opting to get experience ended up regretting their decision as they cannot even save a penny. U can still improve by using it on ur PC or get a part time job in Cyber cafe. Then mayb u can save money and gain other skills as well.

thx to u guyz for all those advices especially jasontoh...
btw,where do u working jasontoh..
