Also, how's the work here? Hope someone can enlighten me because I have to call them back within this week..

I heared that mainframe is more marketable in the IT industry right now. I stiil have my friends left there, if you want, I can introduce them to you. Just PM me.

[tylerdurden]

Kung plano mo mag Canada in the future, Microsoft. Madaming MS openings dito, talo ang Java. Wala pa ako nakitang mainframe openings dito Maybe sa Singapore though...

Hehe! I took the exam this morning and I failed! Hehe! Anyway, it's been a good experience applying there and taking the exam. Daming unfamiliar words sa akin sa exam! Hehe! R-W ang exam! Grabe! Saya-saya! Anyway, good luck sa mga mag-aapply! Bobotic lang siguro ako...

i also took the exam at pointwest last week..ayun hindi pumasa.ok lang rin at least na-experience ko din. at mabuti naemail yung HR kahit na hindi ako pasado.

greys_sixteen: d ka nag iisa, ako din nagulat sa words na lumabas sa exam..words na hindi natin ginagamit on an ordinary day.nosebleed

[pagie]

sabi ng barkada ko wala daw pinag-kaiba exam nila sa exam ng CPI. Mas madali ito kesa sa exam ng accenture/radix/ITS/SPI. Pasang-awa yata pagkakapasa ko dyan sa apat na yan.hehehe... anyway, wala rin ako alam kahit isa sa vocabulary na nasa exam, pero kayang ipasa yun. Kami sa PUP logic ang gamit namin dyan instead na lalim ng vocabulary. alam yan ng mga programmers.=)

This is off topic but i am hoping to find experienced developers here using c#/c++ (2 years minimum) This is for a permanent position based in Singapore.

Our client is one of the largest financial institutions globally, a UK based investment bank and has an IT hub based in Singapore.

Perks: They will be providing a relocation package for successful candidates. This includes your one time allowance, given in UK pounds (also adjusted if you’ll be bringing your family along) and housing for one month. Home search assistance will also be provided for after 30 days. Everything else from the air flight tickets and the working visa would be sponsored by the client. They can also cover the tickets of your dependents. This is not a project based/contractual position (so really, its less hassle and I dont know of any company in SG that has a relocation package)

For interested candidates, you may email your CV in rvillarico@yahoo.com. Qualified candidates will be called immediately.

Thanks!

hi guys! question lang po...alam nyo ba number ng pointwest?dpat exam ko kanina eh kaso sa citibank tower pala so stuupid tlaga kasi nasa isip ko malapit PBCOM dahil sa Software Laboratories. anyway worth it kaya kasi isip ko din sinabi ni Dacs about his TOR. kunsakali (kunsakali lang) pumasa ako at baka ituon na lang nila pansin nila sa TOR ko (may mga back subjects ako) kung sakali man umabot ako ng interview. yoko ng maranasan yun kagaya sa CPI na after all ng pawis ko mapasa exam e tinuon lang nila pansin sa grades ko nung college.

Anyway sino dito pala nag-apply sa innerworks?ang weird kasi mas mahalaga pala yung EQ sa boss nila kesa sa math, logic, etc na exam. kahinayang kasi happy ako at na-under consideration na status ko jobstreet pero dahil lang dun sa EQ test e wala na congrats na lang kung sino ang nakuha sa innerworks

[kickers878129]

^^ open ka new thread for innerworks...

Pointwest is a great company to work with, gotta tell you.. One year na ko dito in two weeks' time, pero feeling ko I never worked a single day in my stay here.. (I'm a test analyst, BTW..) OK mga people, from the big bosses to the managers to my teammates.. I really learn a lot from the people I work with..

OTs depend kung saang project ka mapupunta.. In my project, we are authorised to charge OT kaya meron nga kong teammate na kulang na lang dito na sa opis matulog eh..

Pay is good (Well I'm a fresh grad when I came here and hindi naman talaga issue sa kin ang pay).. Usual 13th month, performance bonuses, adjustments, and all that.. The thing is, if you're craving for both challenge and fun, I'd suggest na you give yourself a chance to apply in this company..

I guess eto na lang muna..

[bendos]

^hmm..parang di maganda kung madalas ang OT dyan... :P

[SUTIL]

may chance ba makapunta ng US kugn test analyst/QA tester ka?
