I suspect that this was the major reason for the rejection. As the lynx said above, there's a drive (understandable if you look at it dispassionately) to recruit local candidates where possible. Given the number of graduates coming out of Singapore universities every year, it's not that surprising to me that they would want the prospective employer to search that group first.miaolove123 wrote:No experience except internship.
I appreciate your attitude to this situation. No doubt this particular issue can be frustrating on applicants and prospective employers and we have seen many outbursts by the brokenhearted and dejected ones in this forum.miaolove123 wrote:thanks for replying me so quickly
I have expected the worst thing would came as my pass got rejected within a day.
Yes, it's true that the Financial Accountant position I applied for is easily filled by local. And yes, I am INEXPERIENCED. However, there is the fact that NO LOCALS HAVE TURNED UP FOR INTERVIEW. The HR manager told me that she has posted and re-posted the advertisement for 3 months after the previous accountant resigned. I am the only who actually came for interview.
So my thought is:
Look at the company's side, I'm pretty sure they always wanna hire a local (much less paperwork). But the thing is no local wants this job. They didn't drop any local candidate in order to bring me in! In other words, I did not "steal" anyone's job since they didn't apply to work in this company.
Still, I haven't gotten any update from the company yet. I am still waiting for their final decision. Appeal or not, oh wells, it's out of my control.
