Now you've got me worried :XStrong Eagle wrote: Then, step back. Unemployment is high in Singapore. Times are tough. But, looking at the number of job listings one could only conclude that things are absolutely gang busters.
Only conclusion: Fake jobs. If you do sign up and apply, it will be the rare response you get.
All I can say is that I am subscribed to jobsdb and monster in the hopes of drumming up business for my company. Between them I see between 10 and 40 'fresh', at least someone related job posts per day.Splatted wrote:Was this yet another agency pretending it's listings are real?
No, I paid for my airfare. This was initially meant to be a holiday for my wife and I, until my FIL was hospitalized on Easter.sundaymorningstaple wrote:However, if they are willing to fly you to Singers for the IV then it's probably a real one (talking here about on their nickle, not yours).
Turns out it was a genuine job on offer. I went for an interview today with the employer.. hope they liked me :Xsundaymorningstaple wrote:Splatted, that's the problem. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. You have to send them as otherwise, no choice at all. But at the same time, you obviously don't know if it's a valid position either. However, if they are willing to fly you to Singers for the IV then it's probably a real one (talking here about on their nickle, not yours). Again, if it's a valid one, have them set up the initial interview via teleconference. Hell, you can even do it using multi party via skype for that matter. If nothing else, the constant submitting will keep your CV up to date with them on the off chance that the perfect wave does appear.
thanks. No, I applied for work related to my profession. With the other job, that we spoke about, I'm still mulling over.. all the points you brought up were spot on, so not rushing into anything until I'm confident I can do it right...sundaymorningstaple wrote:Was it the one of which we spoke?

If it is, instead of hitting the reply button when responding to a post, in the upper right corner of the message you want to reply to (quote) you click the "Quote" button. This will automatically open the message reply box along with the previous message already quoted. You can then edit out all the text you don't want to appear (as I did with your post) but you have to ensure that you leave the openingBig Mac wrote:btw if someone is kind enough to tell me how to do the format for the "box" reply (ie highlighting what someone wrote previously) - would be great.
Code: Select all
