ditzy SG

MNCs will ask for your certs and transcipts(yes, for some all the way to your PSLE cert, so remember to bring it or they might not even want to meet you Laughing ), and make 3 copies of them first before they start their interview.

Xcert SG

mine just ask to see my diploma and when I started work for a few months…then ask for a photocopy of the diploma for documentation purposes.

I think it all really depend on the company you are going for interview. If you are going for civil service sector, certs and transcripts are mandatory items. That is how the gahmen sector works. Qualification is the holy grail.

If you are going for private sector, there will be more variance. For small companies sometimes they focus more on your previous work experience. Certs will be a bonus cuz when small companies wanna deal with some gahmen official agencies it is best to send a representative that can communicate well.

For MNC it is pretty much same as gahmen sector. The reason being a lot of big projects are thrown out by the gahmen to boost economy. And when at first impression, it reflect on the company image and confidence.

So there you have it. Gahmen sector, small companies aka SME and MNC Mr. Green

my 1st interview with MNC company….he keep looking at my resume without looking my portfolio…..as it is a contract job….

This is the most ideal basis when employing, however employers shld also note that it could be a career change that the applicant is asking so he/she may not necessarily have the experience but will to start fresh.

Grades will matter when you are negotiating pay.

Once they see your grades are mediocre, they will negotiate and push for a lower salary.

Better grades, likely they may offer you more. Laughing

dragg SG

i think only the public sector bothers about grades.
