No worries, my boss didn't even bother to look at my transcript. The entire interview was only 5 minutes. He flipped through my CV and he said, "Okay, I'm fine with the salary that you have requested (Since I put it in my CV), welcome to our firm !"

Are you a M'sian practicing Laws in S'pore ? Thanks.

Legal Exec in Singapore. Can't practice here as I do not have a so-called "FULL degree" in UK (According to Singapore Law Society).
Mine was twinning UK program (2years in Malaysia 1year UK).
No point retaking the whole legal course (3years) just to practice here in Singapore.

practice in singapore?..what is their requirement there?..
*
FULL 3 years of legal studies in UK (recognized universities by Singapore Law Soc) or in Singapore.

Thanks for answering. How long did you practice before you moved to S'pore ?
*
Null. Put my head into Singapore right after I finished my Uni life.
Furthermore, just FYI, working / practice experiences in Malaysia = irrelevant in Singapore.
They don't bother to look @ which firm were you from and so on.
I have colleagues with practicing certificates from UK BAR and CLP Msia, chose not to practice in Malaysia but settle themselves with current legal exec position.

so your job is more on conveyancing or on litigation?..kinda have a thought to work in SG..seems jobstreet have more offer now..

Doing litigation currently.
Getting bored with WOS, defence and etc.
Planning to do in-house on my next job.

Well, SG is a good place to kick start your career. More opportunities for you to make use of what you have learned in the past. Unlike mere conveyancing work in Msia (at most).
