Short term, very good pay (if you are good)

long term, if you are good in other areas, a bit hard to progress (especially if you aim to hit more than 200k per annum)

Must always upgrade your technical knowledge every few years.

Progression not bad though. Bonus not too bad also, typically 2 to 4 months

Starting pay i don't know

HI

Headhunter what's your view in the outlook of the logistics industry jobs in Singapore? What are deemed critical skills, experiences and certification for a Senior management position in a typical shipper mnc?

For a typical candidate holding a specialist logistics BBA and a general MBA with 16 years of relevant experience, what would be deemed as an acceptable market pay and what else can be used to enhance the candidate's portfolio attractiveness?

Comp science grads should really tried consulting role as your first job.

The clinical analytics role maybe stable but very narrow.

For temp jobs, assuming none/little work experience, how much is the hourly rate for o levels and diploma holders ?

Does work experience counts towards salary for temp jobs ?

Not really as i don't really recruit in that area.

What age is considered an old age for a fresh graduate? is graduating at 27 or 28 ok as afresh graduate.

As long as your experience prior to getting the degree is relevant to the new job you are applying for it is fine.

If you have no prior relevant working experience, the degree is not going to help you suddenly become good or have a big pay rise

logistics is an area which typically does not see big pay rises. Must also define whether it is third party logistics or not. Typically third party logistics will pay more (if i am not wrong)

Most importantly is how big is your company globally and your exact job scope or what kind of projects you are handling (whether they are big or small projects)

If you can prove that you can handle big regional or global projects then it is easier to progress to senior management.

No idea, i don't do temp jobs, but yes relevant experience does count towards salary for temp jobs (provided that the experience is hard to attain)

If you are applying for a temp job as a supermarket promoter for example, whether you have relevant work experience or not is not important as the salary will not increase even if you have prior experience

Hi HH

I have 2 job offers from company A and B. I'm more keen on the company A job but B pays more. The thing is on the application form for company A they asked for expected salary and I put a conservative value and when they offered my the job it was the expected pay.

So is it possible to ask for 100 or 200 more from company A or will it piss them off and totally withdraw the job offer? And during the negotiation should I say that I have another job offer too or just not say it? I have no work experience btw. Thanks!

Well most of the time, if you expect X amount, a typical candidate will give X amount + few hundred (to buffer in case they give less, it will still be your expected amount)

It is possible, but if you are only negotiating for 100 or 200 more, they might possibly think you are very difficult to work with and will possibly pull the offer back. (because it is a small amount). If the amount is bigger then it is a different story.

Weigh the pros and cons of both company A and company B, see which one you prefer in terms of

1) Job scope
2) Immediate manager
3) Company profile

Because end of the day, if you perform well, companies will give increments even if you don't hit the 1 year mark possibly, and if you join company B, but you hate the 1) job or 2) manager, you will still leave the company even if the pay is higher.

Get more certs. IT is very cert centric.

IT Security is getting to be very big in Singapore (and in APAC), if you have specific infrastructure skills (like checkpoint, etc) it will be even better.

You might also want to consider moving into cyber security.

Worse case, try to move into project management, and if gained enough experience, to move into programme management.

Thanks for your reply HH. Generally speaking what is the pay for entry level diploma holder? I have observed the range from 1.8k to 2.3k (basic) throughout my job search and was worried that putting too high will put off potential employers.

No. If never say then depends on how long you have been employed in the company so far. Can be as little as 1 day ( if you have been employed for less than 3 months)
