Hi all..

well i do experienced so job agency giving me attitude probs too..

recruit express is top of the list doesn't surprise me as their ads are really are glued together and have no interest in really finding suitable jobs for their candidates...

as for achieve consultants, they do really acted very high class...and they can be so "high class" until they don't give a damn about anything towards their candidates and they even reply me with short and cocky msg...

well...thats my experiences and hope it will be useful to all of ya

That's why you need to work on your resume.
You must give them some reason on your resume for them to consider you and actually gives you an interview...

Try not to boast in your resume.
Make an honest aspect with your strong points let them have a benefit of a doubt and decide to interview you.

If you are hardcore enough go call them and talk to them.
Impress them on the phone to get your interview.

 

[serious_sam]

Job agencies only look for ppl with high qualification~

They are bad!!!

 

[insomic]

har? u all want job still wanna complain..... seriously, if u guys dun wanna do, everyone else will want. Any lousy job in this world, confirm got someone wanna do one. IMO if u wanna get a job u have to be humble not matter what kinda nonsense u get, if not u will forever be complaining and still not get a job.

 

[AJ_Style]

alot of consultant are like that one lah.. got one i ask him give me feedback if my interview dun go through with the company he agree say no problem.... until now still no news.

Got one say he will help me send resume to 2 diff companies... but after i never get thru 1st one he nvr send to ther other.. in the end i go direct to the other n get the job.

they always wanted to act people oriented but once they deem you no use to them they discard u and move on liaoz despite what they say during interviews just to get u to go for interviews.

 

[AJ_Style]

what will help u ask .. will help u fight for this n that is all sh*t....

 

[Rushifaa]

No one can really help you but yourself.
If you are young try to get a degree.
If you are old late 30s or older, must likely you have to accept any underpaid job possible unless you are very qualified.

 

[vinyong]

Tell u all lar... normally going to interview... they finish interview u and ask u go outside to wait... then who knows they tear the paper they had wrote and say "If u been selected, we will call u" lol... they already tear the paper they wrote about u or form that u had wrote then how they submit to the HR to see if can pass or not... lol... sad lar... they all work this way

 

[vinyong]

They see low standard cert... Please F. off... but in the way of Tearing paper not in form of u becoz they want to keep their bowl... so they ask u to go outside to wait... then in their room... TEAR ... and ask u to go off in a better way... So, this is how they work.

Try lower paying jobs like retail sales or something that pay you by hour basis.
Honestly you can't get anywhere far with a NITEC.
Work and save money.
And then use the money for Business or further studies.

Hare and Turtle race.
Hare wins early because he is more qualifed and highly educated.
He works and climb the coporate ladder untill where he can't climb anymore and thus goes to sleep.

The Turtle may be less qualified and lowly educated but he never give up continue to climb slolwly.
The turtle save money and starts his own business and do his investment wisely. Over the years the turtle finally surpass the Hare with his own business getting stable being profitable and his investment giving him extra money.

And thus in the end the Turtle wins.

Bill Gates/Microsoft
Micheal Dell/Dell
Steve Jobs/Apple

Above are all dropouts.

Even our Creative Mr Sim Diploma only.

Being better educated and more qualify only helps you in the short run.
In the long run it's up to yourself.

As for my advice to you Vinyong.
Since you have an interest in Cooking.
Go work under a restarant or something and learn the ropes.
If you put in enough effort a pay of over 5k isn't uncommon.
Give yourself a few years.
When you are good enough maybe become a Hawker to earn more money.
And you when you have enough you can try opening a restaurant.

Honestly, learning to cook and being a good cook is a more stable job.
Confirm people will hire a good cook.

Try considering it.

hey wait a min....

nowadays 1st round of interview they wont talk abt pay package coz there'll alwayz be a nxt round !!!

 

[optimus_prime888]

in fact, for me, no mention of pay even for 2nd or 3rd interview. It is up to the interviewers to decide on the pay package and for one to decide whether to accept it or not. There can be some negotiation though, but who knows, it may jeopardise your chances of getting the job. Also, it may not be wise to breach this topic unless the interviewers start it first..
