This was asked by mainly the MNCs such as IBM. Most of the time I refrain from telling them my pay, but they usually want to know the pay.[/b]

If those MNC want to know u last salary, it is fime in my opinion to tell them.
I heard if the longer the person not working, potential employers also

wondering what happned to the person. Neutral

Thanks for the advice. I'll let them know the next time they ask.

it's a competitive world out there. it is not guaranteed that a graduate will get a good job with high salary. in some cases, usually whoever is capable and quote the lowest salary gets the job.

afterall, paper qualifications is not the only thing an employer looks for. working attitude is the most important. graduates sometimes must be prepared to take a lesser salary to stand up to competition.

my advise, get a job 1st, be flexible when quoting your expected salary range. most important, work long enough to gain experience and carry on from there.

Hey, take heart, it doesn't necessarily take a long time. I have a friend whose salary jumped from $1k to $2.5k within a year. Just prove yourself!

i strongly believe it is the parents' fault. They have either spoilt their kids or failed to teach them the right values.

i know of a couple whose daughter never holds a job for more than a year since she graduated 7 years ago and they are still giving her money. Their daughter's excuses? The work too tough, too heavy or work place too far.

i have another friend whose son is earning $5k per month but is still asking the father money every now and then.

Yes, i think that is a good idea. Singapore kids will then learn to be independent and resourceful. I find many Singaporeans still very dependent on their parents even after they get married

Why should the employer care how much you have spent on your education? Foreign workers or talents...if the foreigner can do the same job for less, employers will take them. If we do not allow foreigners in, employers will move their business elsewhere.

Workers in poorer nations whose skills and labour are required by developed nations in Singapore come here to work because it is the only way they can improve their lives. Unless they leave their own countries for work, they will not be able to give their children a good education, provide decent healthcare etc.

Why should Singaporeans be protected from competition from these foreigners? Foreigners also should have the right to a better life. If you lean towards the left, shouldn't you fight for the rights of workers in poorer nations to have a better life, rather than thumbing them down by practising protectionism?

singaporeans should be protected from competition from those foreigners by the singapore government byt the simple fact that it is the singapore government and not some global body.

it is the government's job to take care of(to put it loosely or should i say to see to the interests of) singaporeans. thats what they are elected for and being paid for.

by all means fight for them, but thats not what the singapore government should be doing unless the citizens want it, and not before helping its own citizens to the maximum extent.
