what is 'VP'?

Ever heard of Google? Try that, it helps a lot.

Well you could've read a page or 2 before this but no.... I guess doing a quick reply is much faster...

any oppurtunities for fresh grad who did 3+1 in germany in E&E engineering to work overseas?

definitely for VP at age 27 must not be from the IT field .......

cant be from financial or research/consulting side,lol

Only in the sales line

still waiting for her reply to clarify......

Oh dear God ! You are a legend...
I'm currently pursuing a degree in chemical engineering and can only dream of walking down similar career path as you did.
Hehe...
What does it take to get to where you are now?
To be a girl doing what you do... is it extra super tough?
Were you a top scorer? GPA.3.5?
I'm looking forward to do my internship with MNCs esp SLB this time around next year... Any tips to nail it? Sifu?

Any difference in pay for graduate in malaysia and overseas? or is it the same?

what is MNC??

multi national company. those big big company like intel, hp, hsbc....

if u have doctorate at 26, u can get starting rm8k as a lecturer even u r fresh graduate

true unuf. private uni /col i assume u mean?

Aaaa... *speechless* sekejap..

You don't need super duper high GPA (although it does help a 'tiny tiny''bit).. however must have leadership/team player qualities. In your resume highlight all your extra co-curricular activities apart from your internship experience (if you have any). If you for example were a prefect at school/(part of Student council in Uni), president/vp/secretary of a club, represented your school in sports, active with campus activities (been part of a committee), member of school debate team, likes to go hiking/biking/exercising, have black belt in karate/tae-kwa-do...etc etc..etc.... list them all in your resume. Since you are a fresh grad with no working experience.. these are the things they are looking for in a candidate. Most companies will provide in depth training once you're hired.. so what they want is someone who is willing to learn and highly self motivated.

Also before interview... try to anticipate what *general* questions might come up. There's plenty to find on the internet. For example.. 'List 3 of your weakness' is a common question. Instead of just telling the interviewer what they are... try to include what you're doing now to overcome a particular weakness.

Fuh.. this is getting a bit long...but basically that's pretty much what I can think of. Anyways just PM me if you have any other questions.

Just a quick question, can an accountant go offshore? Haha.. I know O&G is a cash cow industry so thought of getting into this field but, hmm what can an accountant do on oil rig? ahaha.. a dumb question I assumed. Sigh, hope I can be one of you guys soon enough. Am already 22 and still earning very little...

I graduate at 25, I apply for my first job at 26. I had no working experience and I lied my way through interview make RM5.5k per month. Soon, I will go through another assesment to be senior engineer.

Why did I graduate so late? I studied IT until Adv Dip, then I went to do Dip in Graphic Design. Before I pursue my Degree in IT, I worked for fun, mainly doing programming projects and website. I survived like this for 2 - 3 years before I do my Degree.

My Degree, I got Third Class Honours (almost no value ya..), because I support myself through work such as programming, design and a little sales.

Then, finally I decided to get a proper job. I mailed one of the recruitment agency who hooked me up with a MNC. At the interview, I told my boss that I graduate late cause I work in between (which is true) because my family is poor (which is not true). Sympathy points!

I bullshit my way to the top. Is that a good lesson to learn for you? I dont know. I only know I do my job pretty darn well so no one got any complains. Besides, what is 5.5k for a MNC? NOTHING!

Doesn't matter, made in Msia or Imported product...

Just make sure you know where ur talent lies.. (am still searching for mine too)

if you know what you are doing then i don't see any harm BSing, sometimes you really need to lie a bit to get the job, in other words, sweet mouth. well, it's survival for the fittest afterall. top sales man usually BS to get to the top too, but BS also got skill one, don't let your BS eat you back.

I wonder whether I should post this. Ah what the heck I'll post it.

Apparently Research Analysts & Investor relations people do earn a lot in a very short amount of time. 3 years experience could bring such a person's salary up to RM15,000 but usually it would be 5 years. Well, despite this being being the mean, the variance could be high I am not sure. Just note also that a Research Analyst generally works 70+ hours a week, Investor relations less but you really must have strong social skills together with technical skills.

Some lucky people manage to get these jobs at a young age like 23-25.
