Serious | HR/Recruitment Agency say I am overpaid for a Diploma Holder. Ask for payslip to verify.

[coyote]

Good advice

Then you are born in the year of 1984-1986. it is a waste you didn't continue to pursue your degree after your Diploma.

I ORD in 1996. with only Diploma and family too poor to pay for my degree course.

I worked in construction from 1996 to 1998. That time Construction pays very well. 3k for construction supervisor.

Save up $$$ and started my part time IT degree.
Started my IT career in Teledata, HP, SCS, NCS, Cisco System and now in a Bank.

And its never too late for you to obtain a private degree. Take the cheapest and fastest private degree if possible.

Wish you all the best in your IT career!

Why jobless when your pay is so high?

Were you doing some server maintenance for some tech companies? I know these do get paid quite well.

Long story short .. company restructure i volunteered to be let go because wife going overseas to work

not server maintenance work, more on product management

You can study just study. I stopped absorbing from books. Internet videos and news sites prolly the only two revenue for me at the moment. Of course, havda exercise discretion here.

If i push for adv dip modules, will fail, drastically, tried. The missing physics, a maths, chemistry etc does has a deep impact.

I learn things in other manners, just no longer academically.

Once left school, it's really hard to absorb.
Won't forget when I took my part time Diploma, I was struggling
with Maths since it's been many years I did not do maths.

Went to NS, everything seems erase from my mind.

I once got called by a recruitment agency. They asked me my current. I refused to give. I told them what matters is my expectation and if the employer is willing to pay this amount. I stick to what gov teach me.

Ended up they didn't call me back. Lol

Plus one
Employers should give a range. If people ok with the range then go apply

 

[C_boliao]

Ya. I really can't stand it when the recruiter ask what's your last drawn.

I tried this and they also ask need an expectation range and then ask my last drawn.
Err then expectations vs last drawn is different? Later they say employer will always still reference last drawn.

OK then end of convo.

Those who are offended by the questions of proving their last drawn are usually those who lied about their salary package

Just very 讨厌 thingy ba, not until that stage. Ft lied more. Its their culture and way of life. 当说谎是理所当然的事儿。

Agreed.

You want the pay and job, show your pay slip, if not, there are hundreds lining up for the job.

K thnx bye

You have a choice, play by the rules....OR not.

A good resume dictating experience is another way. As long as you can represent urself until pple dun question ur pay.

Whenever headhunter or recruitment agency called me, I will just ask what is the budget for this position?

If the budget can meet my expectation, then I proceed further.

Back in 2018, this recruitment agency called me and offer me an IT Program manager role in Bank.

They asked my last drawn and I didn't answer. I asked them their client budget for this position. Bank budget is 10-14k.

Told the agency to arrange interview for me and let me nego with the client directly.

I told them this is a win-win situation. As Client won't feel overpaid and I don't feel underpaid.

After the interview, I just asked for 12k salary and I got the job.
My last drawn is 9k.

I only submit my 9k payslip after I started work in Bank
