Aiyo don't compare Western countries to Malaysia la.

Anyway on the semi-related context of qualifications, my aunt recently fired a new hiree cos he faked his degree credentials. Thing is, her company (big MNC) HR does not have a policy to check qualifications -- it's only cos she suspected him (cos he dunno anything) that she forced HR to check.

Furthermore the company I work in (Bank MNC), I know for a fact from contacts in HR that they don't check either.

So uh ... is it standard market practice to not check authenticity of qualifications?

Oh, I dunno. I applied for a job with a big multinational bank's singapore office, and their HR lady also asked me for a ton of stuff. As in last 3 year's total pay (wtf), the offer letter from my previous job (wtf-er), things like that. i was like wtf.

lol wtf ... isn't this advertising illegal stuff?
