I graduated from a UK uni majored in Electronics Engineering. Graduated with second upper and now working as a Purchasing Agent with 1.6k per month. I am seriously sad. I turned down an offer by LTA as project engineer last week (they offered me 2.5k) because they told me i need to work at the site (I am a girl, hello?). So now i need to start seraching again..so stressful...sighzzzzz...

Just saw your question.erm...my mind set is that i wan to do something that related to marketing or finance or consultancy. yeah i discussed with my families and frens. My parents actually gave me freedom to choose by myself. And my friends telling me that, if u are feeling unsure or unhappy about it, then just dont do it. and keep on applying. But i am not so sure that is that my major allowed me to find a job in marketing +finance..no idea

Hi peeps,

Some stuff that need your advice

1. I am switching job. But my new company want me to start working immediately. So i cannot give one month notice so i guess i need to pay for one month salary for my current company. Its there any possibility that i do not need to pay that one month of salary?

2. I feel like cheating my current company that i am going back to Malaysia, but if i said i go back to m'sia i need to pay the tax rite? (because i have yet to reach 6 months working here). Is it good to cheat them about this? coz i scare being whacked if i said i switch job.

Help~~ dilemma~

Do I need to take theory lesson in order to apply for theory test? I am holding Malaysia driving license.
*
From what I heard is, for those who holding EP, SP or WP only need to convert their malaysia license to singapore licence by taking a theory test. For those who are PR needs to do driving test + thoery test and pay a good amount of money to get the license * not sure on this though*
