bboy,
how did u go abt “chionging 1st†and how are u coping so far?
i want your friend’s kind of luck too! haha…Talking abt experience, there was an article in TODAY….“Experience is an over-rated value. It’s not the most impt criterion for hiring...If experience is handled properly, it can be a great learning tool. The condition is that you do learn from it, and change your ways to make better judgments in the future. Too often, experience merely compounds the bad habits and such confidence of "I am right", not that of "I have much to learn". Having simply done something is no proof that you have done it well. The most important reason for hiring inexperienced people is that they come without the baggage of the culture, the beliefs and the dogma of the existing lot. They see with a fresh eye. They can be creative. They get the business onto a new track. Employers must be shown that lack of experience is compensated for by the ability to see tasks in a new and creative light. This will not change the fundamentally spineless who rely on experience as the main qualification for a job. Changing that attitude requires more enlightened bosses...Experience lends precision to the craftsman's tool, and confidence — but leaves a fool, a fool.â€

good piece.
me ah? I haven't started. But I plan to do that on the first available opportunity that is given to me.
I'm not discounting your theory outright also. Of course, chiong first does not mean you go and find a simple job and chiong at it everyday. It can get quite tiring. It's also important to find a job that you think can challenge you and bring out your potential. However, haven't we heard success stories where top business leaders actually work their way up from say the mailroom or as a clerk somewhere? Sometimes I think it's the ones who are given cushy jobs early in their career who may not go far later in life. They get so comfortable that there is no impelling need to improve the situation. Then when wife and kids come into the picture they tell themselves things like, 'old already', 'cannot chiong', 'too late', etc. Perhaps it's the ones who are given the tough jobs early in their career and they are so used to conflict pushing them to greater heights.
So of course, a fair balance is needed. But I still veer towards chionging first even before you decide your current job is the right one. Excellence and good record displayed in this current job should open you to more opportunities rather than moping around and looking for a better job all the time.
Wouldn't you think the better opportunities are the types that find you, rather than the type you look for?

simplema, if sony is losing so much $ on PS3, why produce and sell it at a loss anyway? push up the company's shares? the profits in the end can't even measure up to the losses made from the sales
i'm actually not a good liar based on conscience, but a very good one based on professional ability...

Oh ya! So u want me to list 3 choices ah? Based on looks? Then people say I dun look at inner beauty how? Wat if Brad Pitt can't connect with me then how? Oh wait. He's taken. Damn...
Maybe Powder & Bedokboy likes women in power suits lor. & gladiator-styled wives in the bedroom. Ahahah... I got no chance liao. I wear slippers to work one.
Latino, I also got no fashion sense. I wear what I like. Too expensive to keep chasing the latest fad ah. Anyway I refuse to wear those puffy bubbly skirts that look like they came out of Prince Charming's wardrobe.

Laundry...Yes! I like guys in well-cut suits too... make them look v smart and sophisticated w or w/o a tie. But no tie clip or cufflinks pls... too contrived for my taste. And I can't stand it when guys wear their shirts too tight and w hair that's so kilat it practically drips wax. Looks like a salesman standing outside lee hwa, goldheart or any such jewellery store

Flame, flame lah.. see if I care. You should know by now that Ms G~gal plays by her own rules and nobody else's... Haha... so can we see some venue suggestions??
I'll be at Raffles City. So if you all like, can meet around the vicinity. Else, Orchard also can. If it's too far from a MRT Station, the chances of me going will dip 10% with every 100m distance from the station ok.
