Getting a job is DIFFICULT.

Most jobs out there require experience. So for fresh grad losers like me, getting a job is DIFFICULT X 10,000

Here's some tips from an experienced resume sender - ME.

If the ad says, "1/2 year experience"
Apply. And pray that they're somehow very impressed by your cover letter and resume and decides to consider you despite your lack of experience.

If the ad says, "1/2 year experience, fresh grads welcomed"
APPLY APPLY. But keep in mind that those with experience will definitely be prefered.

If the ad says, "No experience required. Training will be provided. Fresh grads welcomed"
APPLY APPLY APPLY APPLY!!! What are you waiting for!?

If the ad says,"1/2 year experience, URGENT!"
Don't bother applying cause it simply means, they don't have time to train you and so it's definitely not for fresh grads.

If the ad says, "5-8 years of experience, senior marketing/director"
You're a fresh grad loser, move on. But if you're that free, you can apply for fun. Don't expect a callback.

If the ad says, "1/2 year experience. N/O/A level/Higher Nitec/Diploma/Degree may apply. Fresh PSLE graduates welcomed" (I just added the PSLE thing for fun)
Don't apply. I mean seriously, THAT'S A JOKE. The employer is CONFUSED.

I've done a resume makeover. Thanks a huge bunch to Michelle and Firman. My resume looks much better. So...I hope things will turn around and I'll soon find my phone buzzing endlessly with interview appointments! =)

PLUS...I have another interview next wednesday with an ang moh who told me to call him on his BLACKBERRY if I need to call him.

Blackberry seh...lol

And then I shut up @ 7/15/2008 09:25:00 PM
