I have been unemployed for almost 3 months and I finally landed a job and starting in Jan. I've got to stress the importance of connections, these people might just be like normal friends but they sure did helped me alot to pull strings in this kinda economy.

Thats right. When you are at senior management, you contacts are your strongest assets

you can try different field like in Marketing. Company now day one some one that can increase their sales. Marketing line is always available. Just widen your scope.

Companies are always looking to sales and marketing positions. Its a tough job but you can meet people and build up your contacts.

How to do this actually when u come for an interview & they are asking for your payslip? My payslip clearly wrote my post title. But maybe I can cincai mention la the name only manager but job scope only exec level. It's not I am being fussy but I've tried applying lower rank but never got interview invitation for that post.

Right now I also tried doing sales but not that good.
Maybe need to polish more on pitching & communication skills.

Sales and marketing is not and easy job to do nor does everyone have the correct personality to do well in it. However, dont give up, sales and marketing is a very good foundation to start from (or restart from, in your case) . How are your language skills? What field were you previously in?

Are you on the linkIn network? Many headhunters there. I was hunted for a 9k/mth marketing job by a listed mnc just last week, but i turned them down.
