QUOTE(charymsylyn @ Mar 12 2008, 11:49 PM) I've just quit my job and have been searching for a few weeks for a job in Singapore and have yet to receive any reply. haha i think need to apply more jobs.. to be accurate.. Need to work harder to find one.  getting an interview is like a number game.. the more you apply the higher chances of getting a call for an interview lol |

wow just finish my interview ins pore.. and rushed back to kl.. and now i'm in office working..
sob sob...its just surprising how much work they wanted you to do from left to right and bottom to top + being independent.. one thing that i learn.. when a project needs a project manager and also a system engineer for the it stuff, best way is to save money is combine both of them name it as project engineer and pay a system engineer's salary rather than a project managers salary |

QUOTE(charymsylyn @ Mar 18 2008, 07:44 PM) I think it would be more accurately phrased like this, the majority of Malaysians are generally lazier than Singaporeans, however it is probably safe to say that the majority of Malaysians in Singapore are not the lazier kind. wow that hit the spot accurately, yeah if the majority of Malaysians that are lazy will mostly be still in Malaysia, while the hard working ones will be in Singapore to work hard and earn money..  i'm not sure how much they plan to remunerate me, cause according to the person who interviewed me that will be discuss in the second interview with the HR people, guess the 1st interview is just the screening and getting to know if you fit the position or not.. |
