I only got second class upper. Nothing special

I've been waiting for a job since June but there was no reply. Now suddenly so many coming at the same time

to silverware, i guess go for the enviromental work.

im a fresh grad, same as u but started working few months ago. working in the office doesnt suit me really well and i cant wait to get out.

plus management trainee program sucks as well. but to teach his own. if i were you, ill go to both and decide but im leaning towards the environmental thing

Yes, i'm leaning towards the environmental thing too due to:

-S/c industry is doing badly in US. It hasn't really hit Malaysia fully.
-Environmental is still quite new here but it is doing very well overseas.
-ENSR i have the chance to travel around.

After all, both are US based companies and ENSR is doing much better than WD. I also checked Forbes website and it seems that WD stocks are dropping while ENSR is rising.

Well, i will go for the interview in WD anyway. Just have a look at what it's all about.

hmmm how did u apply for this jobs or through what medium?

freeze hiring for WD now.

I applied for some other position actually but i got called for this. I don't even know whether it is a good program.

Worked for Johor plant. Wouldn't recommend working in WD.

Komag's benefits used to be much better compared to what you have now in WD.

In fact, attrition rate for Johor plant is double digits for last year as well as this year. Almost >30%.

Furthermore, their increments are very low compared to Komag's time whereby it's possible to get 12% but now, from what I hear, 5% is considered lucky.

Just came back from the interview. The Graduate Leadership program seems to be not bad too. 6 months training in various depts, remaining 6 mths in a particular dept. Results will be known by Friday. They are picking 15 out of 60-70 candidates. Hard choice for me to decide between ENSR and WD if i get WD offer.

is it true they already freeze new hire?someone pliz clarify?

Don't think so. There are plenty of vacancies in their website.

Btw, i just signed the offer letter for Graduate Leadership Program today.

not really totally freeze all the vacancy. depends on d department.
btw, tis GLP not really a good pragram. somemore hav to bond 1 year rite. actually is 1 an half year included d 6 month traning.

Nope, 1 year including the 6 months training. Some say good, some say not good. Why you say not good?

One reason i heard it's boring.

Guess u guys knew the latest news huh?

Sarawak plant closed

http://losangeles.bizjournals.com/losangel....html?ana=yfcpc

The link did not say which plant exactly is closing. How do you know it's Sarawak? I knew it the 2 weeks holiday in December had smtg to do with the economic problem.

I heard that they shut down their East Malaysia (Sabah perhaps) facility.

So good..
I applied that Graduate Leadership Program too...but...no news

Guess what? I just got a damn bad news. GLP program has to be put on hold to may be July. It's due to the link kucingfight shared here. They told i can leave if i get a better offer although i've signed the contract because the company is in a bad state. The 7 selected for GLP are on waiting list now. Employments are halt and VSS are already offered to many staffs.

Just great, i turned down another offer to accept GLP. I'm back to square 1 now.

If u've frens inside, u'll know whats goin on right away

Really PK...
even jobstreet not much new job oso...

I can't stay at home for another 6 months anymore. I need to find some other job before GLP resumes. It's a good program but only thing the timing is bad.
