Pls use PDF at ALL TIMES. Also name yr resume with yr name-resume Fr eg

Daniel Yo Chun Kiat - Resume

what can i do right now?im so lost

Always save your resume/CV in PDF.

And I believe you have got nothing to lose if you reapply.

Good luck.

Frankly speaking, you were rejected probably due to your low English proficiency. Based on what you have written here, there is a huge room for improvement for your English language. This was probably reflected in your CV as well. That's why you were not shortlisted based on your CV.

where my wrongs at?cuz i cant see no screw up in my english

My personal opinion on the Big4 hiring preference (priority in ascending order):
1) Foreign grads (Ie: spent full years at UK, US or Aus) and with good CGPAs (age from 22 to 24). They will most likely represent the face of the firm. Most likely will be drafted to the best teams with best (cleanest portfolios). Drafted for professional qualifications (Ie: ICAEW) with bond period up to 4 years.
2) Professional qualifications (Ie: ACCA). Age normally 21 to 22. 2nd preferred hires due to able to hit the ground running with no requirement to further study. Will support the team when the foreign grads left to study. Mostly drafted as workhorse to support the team or cover all the "undesirable projects".
3) Local grads: Drafted mainly for normal projects
4) Experienced hires: Very few came through this route

My advice is to get a good referral. Set an interview with the referral and ask for help/endorsement. The higher level the better.

Btw, its not the end of the world if you are not able to join Big4.

theres a problem when even mid tier firms rejected u

Was this even written in proper English?

If you believe that's not the problem, good luck in searching for a company that you can get away with this.

my cover letter is well written no doubt about it ,its not like we have to talk like diplomats all the time in forum like this or everyday life..............i believe problems lie on somewhere else which keep me from breaking thru

As a professional recruiter, what I would ask from you:

1. What is your career goal, where are you heading to? most people pursue Big 4 for few reasons:
- To reach Job Grade of Manager (Associate -> Senior Associate -> Team Lead -> Assistant Manager -> Manager), usually take minimum of 6 years or more. Thereafter, they can choose to open up their own firm with the accumulated experience. OR become a team lead/finance manager of MNC.
- Some of them are aiming for BNM, Bank Negara Malaysia, pays really really well. Only elites enter. Big 4 is kinda like prerequisite.
- Easier for them to go anywhere.

2. Take the advice from the person below. Small firms is like a boot camp, but you've gotta endure how unstructured it may be. Once you've pulled through 2-3 years, you'll be like a refined gem, better than those from MNC.

That aside, I have an AP role in one of the MNC. If you are interested let me know.

Getting into big4 is like a dream to me and no matter what it takes I wouldn't let it go

How is that so ? Can share here ? Thanks.

Unless you have ACCA....
then the possibility will be higher

Some companies might have different version of Words than yours. It would cause compatibility issue when opening your Words file. Pdf will always look far better.

Different version of word. Different OS version. Different fonts. I've seen one instance where the same version of windows and word was used, the document only used standard windows fonts, and still, there's some reflow that screws up the carefully laid out alignment. I suspect, it's because the two computers have different default printer drivers installed. Who knows what's the real reason. There are some ways to minimize this problem. But the only sure way to eliminate it completely is to save your documents as pdf.

Maybe you indeed don't have the correct personality to fit in? Personality fit is quite important.

I got 2 first class fresh graduates in my team who I have just kicked out, not because they're dumb or what. But they just cannot focus on and finish their task on hand. Always want to move on to something new when they are not ready yet.

I will improve if chance is given

Are you seriously comparing English from a casual forum reply to a resume? You haven't even seen his resume! His English is better than most experienced working professionals in MNCs.

What an uptight keyboard warrior..

Personality cannot be "improved" 1... The real trick is to find out where can you really excel, not trying to fit into somewhere where you can't excel.
Give you an anology, fish are not built, and thus will never be able to climb trees.
