Job In 30 days

Rule 1) Be super confident (Not Proud!)

Rule 2) Prepare a clear and up to date resume; front letter if needed.

Rule3) Designers...Please prepare your Portfolio, ensure that your old printed artwork is not
yellowish or kiam chai.

Rule 4) If needed pls have an online portfolio and add the link to your resume *In order to keep them hook you might wanna add "p.s not all artworks are posted online, only a partial of my artworks are posted online."

Rule 5) Sign yourself up for all the job search website, and subscribe to their daily mail, they will email you daily with the available job position.

Rule 6) IF you are interested in their job position pls copy their email and email them using your own email account, do not click "quick submit" or "quick post" that is provided by most job search website. Reason being, that they can contact directly to you through your own email and you can type in your own front letter aka a short introduction of yourself in the email.

Rule 7) Always put in your expected salary $200 more then Wat you expected and always put there negotiable.

Rule 8) Always visit the company website or research on the company BEFORE you submit your resume. This will give you a brief idea on how big the company is or what kind of art direction they are into.

Rule 9)If you can do not agree readily to the interview time slots( you must act as though alot of ppl ask you go interview, even if you dun hav a single interview), you can either change date or change time slightly and tell them bcus you have a appointment and might be late or might not be able to make it. * normally they will gan cheong, cus if they call or email you to interview meaning they already like your work just that they wanna see you FACE.

Rule 10) of course wear casual smart to interview is the best, cus too formal also not good like very act act like that..

Rule 11) Be very polite and confident, if they start to criticize your work in a bad way let them be. But for my case i will try to rebuke them lar hor...Dun care...but i rebuke in a respectful way la.

Rule 12) If they like you they will normally confirm you immediately BUT DO NOT AGREE READILY UNLESS YOU REALLY LIKE THE JOB! Pls ensure you attend all the interviews before you make the decision, they like you they will wait for you. Those ask you go back wait de, you can forget abt it liao. Even if they call you back a few days later also dun agree, unless you are desperate.
