It is a competitive world and you just have to outclass the rest. Having being a job seeker myself, I find that it's important to compile a to-do list when you are on a mission to find a job. Although it's written based on Malaysia, the same concept applies to any part of the world.
<br>
Here are a few simple items you should take note when seeking for jobs:
<br>
Search in Jobs directory. It is the place where career and human resources links are provided to you for your convenience. You could either apply directly via the sites or you could contact the HR departments of the hiring companies. There are a few famous Malaysia job directories which you could count on such as Jobstreet, JobsDB Malaysia, Jen Jobs and Malaysia Central. You can search more in Google for terms such as Malaysia jobs directories, Job websites in Malaysia.<br>
On the other hand, if you are interested to work with the Malaysian Government, they too have a portal specially for vacancies in the government sector. It is actually very simple to search for a job in the Government sector. Just google for "vacancies in Malaysia government".<br>
Next on the list will be recruitment agencies. Some job seekers do not really favour recruitment agencies because they need to pay a fee to the agents. Sometimes it is a one-time flat fee and there are times where it is based on a sliding scale on the length of time the employee is attached to the hiring company. However, out out desperation, job seekers still end up opting to this choice. Some of the well-known recruitment agencies in Malaysia are Adecco Asia, ManPower Staffing, Kelly Services, JAC recruitment and PM Resources.
<br>
If you are an independent person and you believe that you would want to try all this yourself, then the best solution is to manually find the job yourself. How? Well, you could physically go to the companies and submit your applications to the Human Resources Department (but it is not very practical nowadays as you are rarely allowed to simply enter a company without any appointments).
<br>
Hence, electronic mail (e-mail) is your best chance. Just visit the company websites and go to "contact us" section. Usually they have career or hr emails listed on their websites. Remember to produce a presentable resume and email it to them. Wait for the good news! The rule of thumb is send A LOT of applications daily. Send at least 50-70 applications daily.<br>
Last but not least, a conventional way of searching for jobs is still worth the try. A lot of companies STILL advertise job vacancies on the newspaper. If you are actively in need of jobs, purchase newspapers every day and dive into the jobs or classified sections.<br>
Using the above methods helped me to find an online marketing vacancy for SEO Singapore so I hope the tips mentioned above on jobs searching are useful to everyone particularly Malaysian. Online, using the web, is the main resource for searching but traditional print and magazines can also be of help.<br>

<span style="font-weight:bold;">Management Consulting Jobs</span> - A Great Career
There are many great advantages to management consulting jobs. They involve a lot of travel, a lot of meeting new people, and a lot of new challenges. Management consultants are highly skilled in an area of business, have great interpersonal skills, who are adventurous and want a fulfilling and lucrative career.
The management consulting field is not regressing with the current recession. In fact, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that this is one of the fastest growing fields in the country. Many companies are opting to contract out to management consulting firms to take the place of the executives and managers they are laying off. Although the hourly billing is usually higher with a consulting firm, it can be relatively cheaper than the additional employment costs of having a full time employee, for example providing health insurance, dental insurance and vacation days. On top of that, using consulting firms reduce the cost of overall human resources infrastructure. Additionally, management consulting firms are more merit-based and usually provide a better historical track record than individual employees in a given area. If a consulting firm isn't performing, they can easily go on to the next one. If an employee in the same area is not performing well, as the movie Up In The Air shows, it can be a lot more difficult and costly to fire or lay off an employee than to fire a consulting firm.
Working for a management consulting firm can be very exciting and refreshing, especially for those who have worked in a traditional employment setting. In addition to the opportunity to make a lot of money in management consulting jobs, they have a lot of perks that normal traditional jobs do not have. Traveling is one of these fun components to this type of job. In Up In The Air George Clooney plays a character who travels extensively as a management consultant that flies around the country to fire people on behalf of companies. Some consultants travel so much that they spend more time on the road or in the air and in a different city than they do at home. Additionally, some consultants don't even have a home. They travel so much that it's unnecessary. They just live in hotel rooms out of their suite cases.
Management consulting jobs are also good for those who get bored easily. If you've never been able to hold down a job for more than a year, not because you don't perform well or because you constantly show up late to work, but because you get so bored you have to get out of there, then management consulting might be for you. Most consulting contracts never last longer than 2 years and consulting engagements can be as little as a couple of hours of offering advice. You are constantly doing new things, in new places, with new people.

</div>Many of you must have heard the term interim management recruitment. Though you have heard about this type of recruitment facilities, you are not aware of its importance perhaps. Therefore, you are interested to know why the companies offer interim recruitment positions. Interim positions are now offered in different sectors and there are multiple reasons for which companies prefer this system.
Interim recruitments are available at a very short notice and that is the reason for which companies are, nowadays, giving preference to these types of recruitments. To hire a permanent staff, companies need to assess the ability of the staff through several screening processes. Not only that, companies have to complete different formalities before recruiting a permanent employee. These steps are often very much time consuming and when the companies have urgent requirement they prefer to avoid these steps and recruit directly.
Apart from time, interim recruitment also saves money for the companies. Companies wanting to make the best use of their money always prefer interim recruitments. Interim staffs are available at a lower salary package and so the companies can save a significant amount of expenditure from salaries. Companies need to provide different types of facilities to the permanent employees. However, when they appoint an interim staff, they do not have to provide any such facilities and can save a decent sum of money on this fund too.
Though interim staff can be appointed at a lower salary, it does not mean that it does not have the skills for the job. Employees who are appointed as an interim staffs also have the necessary skills for the job and there is no reason to doubt their expertise in the field. As the companies can get skilled interim staffs at a lower wage, it becomes easier for them to get the work done faster.
Interim recruitments are generally declared when the companies need a staff on urgent basis and the work is for a temporary period of time. As the work does not continue throughout the year, appointing a permanent staff is of no use. In many cases, companies recruit multiple employees on interim basis. They make interim agreement with the staffs before hiring them and terminate them once the work is over.
However, in some cases companies may appoint a couple of permanent staff members from the interim candidates who were hired for a particular job. Interim management services have become common these days and give young professionals an excellent chance of gaining some work experience in a reputed company. Many reputed organization in the United Kingdom are hiring interim staffs in their companies and there is nothing wrong if you are offered a job on interim basis. Though the work is periodic, it will boost your resume and increase your chances of getting a better job in different companies.
Interim jobs are not only advantageous for the companies which recruit but also these jobs are advantageous for the employees. Someone who wants to earn money quickly can surely opt for these jobs.

</div>Using a Sales Recruiting Agency - An Advantage to the Entire Working World
Sales recruiting can be a life saving tool for companies and job seekers alike. In the world of sales, open positions will generally need to be filled quickly, so as to avoid a loss in sales. A manager of a sales division knows that time is money, and that searching for a candidate will take away from necessary protocol. Likewise, candidates trying to make their way into the world of sales may find it difficult to search for companies needing positions. By using a sales recruiting firm, both the job seeker and the one hiring can easily find the best match.
Sometimes these firms can work more to the benefit of the applicant or the client. The two varying types of recruiting firms work on either a contingency or retainer basis. Contingency firms seem to be more geared at having a large applicant base. When a client approaches them in need of a worker, they can choose from a large pool of candidates. Retainer based recruiting firms may be more client oriented, searching for the right applicant as the opportunity arises. Either way, the client and applicant will have their needs met.
Recruiting firms are also specialized and generalized, allowing them to satisfy a wider range of clients and applicants. The breadth of their reach is not limited to a specific sales industry, but can be applied to all sales jobs. Their applicants are also asked to fill out detailed resumes which helps narrow down in the case of a request for specialized applicants. This allows the recruiting agency to be applicable to any job search, whether from an applicant or hiring perspective.
The fact of the matter is that not everybody has time to specialize in something like job finding. Those searching for a job want to be able to find a career already and not feel that the search has become their job. The managers of sales departments also don't want to spend their time rifling through resumes of worthless candidates, or interviewing for hours every day. By allowing the task to be placed in the hands of professionals, the process can run smoothly, and end quicker than without a recruiting agency.

</div>Whether you're an experienced oil and gas industry worker or someone seeking to get your foot in the door, taking some time to do your research on the profession and it's recruitment requirements can help you land that "perfect" job. Among all engineers, those working in the petroleum industry can expect the highest starting salaries. Even those working entry-level jobs on offshore oil rigs as roughnecks enjoy high pay as well as great benefits. Because of this, it is no wonder that more and more job-seeking professionals are turning to this constantly booming industry to find a new financially stable line of work.
Extensive research on the internet covers a wide range of oil career possibilities; from exploration and production to pipeline operations and oil and gas refining. Doing research online to find out more information on this exciting field can be a powerful gateway to help job seekers find oil and gas industry jobs. At any single point in time, there are thousands of oil and gas jobs posted all over the internet. The secret is to know where to look and how to determine if the job listing is right for you can be extracted from your research online.
The oil and gas, or petroleum, industry is truly one that is multinational. One can learn from reading articles on the web that the majority of the world's oil comes from places in the Middle East like Saudi Arabia, the United States, Russia, Canada, and Iraq. You don't need to do your research, however, to realize that the demand for refined petroleum has never been higher. Gas prices are high and rising, as demand outstrips supply. Oil companies are forced to find ways to extract more oil from known reserves and to find new ways of getting oil. In short, the need for oil and gas job workers is fairly high now and will only increase in the coming years.
Learning the fundamentals of the oil and gas jobs available provides a basic introduction to the industry and can even give a job seeker a peek at "new employee orientation". For example researching your prospective new line of work will provide a non-technical review of upstream (exploration and production), midstream (gas processing and transportation) and downstream (refining and marketing) operations currently available in the oil and gas industry.
Increasing your knowledge of the oil and gas industry, the jobs the industry can provide, as well as the stability of these jobs, will only empower you, the job-seeking individual. With empowerment comes confidence and confidence is key to applying for and getting one of these exciting new careers in the oil and gas industry. With so many positions available and so many prospective job seekers vying for the same position it is imperative to try and put yourself in a position to present yourself as an asset. With knowledge of the industry, you will be one step ahead of the game.

</div>Security is probably one of the fastest growing industries and the most sought after careers. There is tremendous scope for those looking for a profession in the security industry. You could rise from the ranks of an entry level security officer to manager and even director of security of major corporations. No matter the level of business, the threat of security breach is very real in today's world. Fraud, theft and workplace violence have especially become very common. Almost every organization needs security personnel. The field is very diverse as well, with diverse needs for different organizations. Where shoplifting is a major concern in retail stores, data theft is a very real threat in companies that have to deal with data, online sales. Organizations like hospitals have to face privacy issues.
To begin with Security services can be classified as a proprietary or a contract security job. Proprietary security job operations generally occur in large business, where the threat is real and large. In these jobs the security officers are on the roll of these companies. On the other hand, many security companies provide a wide range of security services like installing and maintain security equipments like access control, closed circuit monitoring, intrusion detection etc. They also provide services by providing uniformed security personnel who conduct investigations, perform risk assessment, assist in transporting high value items, provide security cover to personnel and even design the security system of the organization.
The security jobs industry is believed to be a $ 100 billion industry, and the scope of growth is very high. There are a number of courses that are designed to train people for security jobs. All that you need to get into this profession is a license from the state. To clear the licensing procedure, you need to clear back ground checks, and undertake training in legal matters like property matters and suspect detection. Among the inherent qualities required for a career as a security officer, you need a high level of self discipline and an alert mind. Apart from these you also need to have a great presence of mind, as this is what comes into matters most in times of emergency. Apart from the general duty of guarding against theft, arson and property damage, a security officer is required to testify in court, contact the police in case of an emergency, write reports about the security status, interview witnesses and make reports on the basis of these interviews. In short he acts as a law enforcer for the property.
There isn't a job more gratifying than knowing that you are responsible for the lives of so many people. So why look for a career elsewhere?
When it comes to writing articles on security jobs, it takes a lot of experience on the same. This author seems to have his expertise in security jobs and is reflected in every article written.

</div>
<span style="font-weight:bold;">A Comparison of Banking & Finance Jobs With a Look at the London Job Market</span>
There are some fairly major differences between the banking and finance sectors, most notably the different types of opportunities available in these related but separate areas.
Banking jobs in major cities like London tend to fall in the retail, private and sometimes boutique banking sectors. These roles comprise of dealing with transactional activities and other general banking duties. Banking positions span, front, middle and back office positions supporting the entire trade process from sales and execution through clearing and settlement. An investment banker would most typically work for an investment bank who will help corporations and businesses to raise funds in capital markets.
When it comes to finance jobs, the positions tend to involve management of assets, money and other finances. Finance Jobs often comprise of micro and macro economic analysis and include tasks and duties to manage funds and preserve and create wealth for the organisation. But putting the differences aside, job opportunities in both the finance sector and the banking sector are frequently available if you have the right skills and experience.
Here in the UK the biggest place to get a banking or finance job is London. With areas such as London city and Docklands, London is the best place to look for banking jobs in the UK. It is seen as the banking hub of the world and the largest business centre in Europe, so residents in the UK have some great opportunities available to them.
Figures shows that over 20% of the largest companies in Europe have their headquarters in London and around 25% of the largest companies in the world have their main European offices based there. The London financial exchange market is said to be worth over $500 billion which is more than New York's and Tokyo's combined. This has also led to there being thousands of financial and banking jobs in the city.
With a need for so many finance professionals, specialist recruitment companies like Martin Ward Anderson have been created to provide the best candidates for these finance and banking jobs in not only London, but the rest of the UK and abroad.
This article was written by Tom Sangers on behalf of Martin Ward Anderson who offer Banking Recruitment for Banking Jobs London.

There are lots of euphemisms used for what people do in this industry. People are sometimes called financial planners, wealth managers, private bankers, stock brokers etc. There are thoughtul fee-only financial planners working in small-town America, everday “stock jocks” in “bucket shops” trying to sell equities and more rarefied wealth managers who work for Swiss banks in Zurich – catering to the very wealthy. Whether cultured or not, the key point is that private wealth managers provide services to individuals rather than institutions and as such are not investment bankers in the traditional sense of the word. It turns out that in today’s environment that is not such a bad thing. This is a huge growth area and more people than ever are turning to others for advice and guidance in their savings and investment decisions.
A good private wealth manager provides quality, objective advice to a group of individuals and is typically gauged by the dollar amount of “assets under management” that he or she is managing. Top players will have between $500 million and $5 billion that they are managing for their clients. These assets are often “sticky” so a wealth manager can jump from firm A to B and typically take most of their customers with them. Not surprisingly, pay is good in this business once an individual has accumulated a pool of funds under management. In 2009 there has been hot competition to get the best wealth managers in each of the various firms. The major players are perennially trying to pick up assets given that the fee flow from these assets is generally stable. For example, Bank of America’s purchase of Merrill Lynch was primarily motivated by a desire to pick up the “Thundering Herd” of Merrill’s brokers rather than their investment bankers. In this tough economy, this is an area where hiring is still taking place. Jobs are available but, of course, it’s not easy. To break in involves picking up customers, knowing your stuff and having a good sales personality. An interesting movie that portrays the sometimes brutal process of getting started in this industry is “The Pursuit of Happyness” with Will Smith.
It turns out that if you have been laid off as a traditional i-banker or money manager, this is a good place to go. You may well have institutional client relationships that can be translated to success as a private wealth manager.lowongan kerja kosonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515806406580214936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696295472196632347.post-1554088787981424572010-05-06T02:10:00.001-07:002010-09-28T10:02:26.486-07:00good investment banking jobs availableAsia and the Middle East
The bad economy has also been felt outside of the United States. Markets in India, Dubai and China are all down substantially. But, nonetheless, there are relatively good investment banking jobs available. The reason is that regional economic growth is still positive. China, for example, is seeing a slowdown in growth rather than a recession (negative growth) as we are seeing in the United States. India has experienced massive industrial growth in recent years and governmental control of the economy has lessened. And there is increasing demand for banking services in the Middle East where capitalism has taken hold and many regional firms are starting to harbor global ambitions (always a good circumstance for investment bankers).
The main reason that these markets are a good place to look for jobs is that there have historically been relatively few investment banks on the ground in these markets. The concept of paying fees to a financial intermediary to help with M&A or a financing is relatively new.
A recent scan of the job board on Bloomberg showed numerous job listings in Beijing, Hong Kong, Mumbai and locales such as Tokyo, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur (JOBS go - not available on the Web – you have to have a terminal to see the position listings – note: many schools have a Bloomberg and a terminal is available in the New York business library). There are a number of ways to break into these markets. The first is to apply directly through the various banks in the markets – this can often be done right off the banks’ web sites. The second is to go through the many recruiters that help find people in these markets. The third, of course, is to network directly. There is high demand for individuals with country knowledge, language (particularly Mandarin and Cantonese), higher education, industry knowledge, M&A skills and analytical skills. Sales and trading operations are popping up as well in India and China.lowongan kerja kosonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515806406580214936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696295472196632347.post-87407482469144695492010-05-06T02:05:00.001-07:002010-09-28T10:01:32.484-07:00Restructuring groups at investment banksRestructuring is booming. Restructuring groups at investment banks handle formal and informal corporate reorganizations and bankruptcies. A typical assignment would involve working a firm that is in serious risk of failure due to lack of profitability and excess debt. The work can include M&A (selling off a failing firm’s assets), liability management (restructuring the firm’s debt), arranging post bankruptcy financing (debtor-in-possession loans), cram-downs (forcing debtholders to take less or to take equity) and general coordination of the strategy and planning process. In today’s tough economy, there are numerous restructuring candidates in areas such as autos, financials, industrials and natural resources. Fees for restructuring work can be quite lucrative and it is not unusual for a bank’s total fees on a transaction to be north of $5 million – in some cases much more. Bonuses are good, guaranteed salaries not unusual and the competition for talent in this area is considerable.
Some of the big banks have good restructuring groups, particularly Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley. But much of this work is handled out of boutiques. The reason is that boutiques are less likely to have a conflict from being a lender to a troubled company, a past underwriter or to have had an association with past management.
Some of the best restructuring groups are to be found at Blackstone, Evercore, Lazard and Perella Weinberg.
As noted above, the best way to get into this area is by networking and contacting investment banks with strength in the area. Persons with a legal background in bankruptcy are good candidates here. Also persons with a strong work ethic, knowledge of math, knowledge of debt and debt markets can do well in this industry. It is a good area for bankers with experience in capital markets and other industries to transition into.lowongan kerja kosonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515806406580214936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696295472196632347.post-16992310931790923402010-04-12T23:56:00.000-07:002010-09-28T10:00:24.215-07:00Healthcare BankingHealthcare Banking
Healthcare investment banking is red hot in 2009 and many firms are hiring. Examples of recent multibillion dollar deals include the Pfizer bid for Wyeth, the Roche bid for Genentech, the Merck bid for Schering-Plough and the Gilead bid for CV Therapeutics. Healthcare is seeing record deal volume and the need for talent in this area is likely to grow for the long term. The recent bonus brouhaha only improves the opportunity to break in.
If you have good sector knowledge or a willingness to work hard and learn, this can be a good field to enter. Healthcare as a sector is defensive, high growth and ever more important.
Some of the best firms are boutiques such as Leerink Swann and Lazard. The bulge firms are also major players and the top banks have been JP Morgan, Citigroup, Goldman and Credit Suisse.lowongan kerja kosonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515806406580214936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696295472196632347.post-11321198910255789322009-10-12T07:35:00.001-07:002010-09-28T09:59:33.068-07:00Finding Investment Banking Jobs in 2010The investment banking industry has just gone through one of the toughest period in its history. Thanks to overleveraging of balance sheets and a bubble in both the housing industry and the associated mortgage securitization sector, we have seen dramatic losses in the sector. Bear Stearns and Lehman are no longer with us. But like after any forest fire, new sprouts of growth are everywhere. And the trees that survived the fire are stronger than ever. We have seen countless new boutiques emerge and strengthen rapidly. Recent takeover battles have involved names like Centerview, Evercore, and Lazard just as much as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Very different than in days past.
Good things are happening to the industry. Balance sheets are less leveraged. Scrutiny on marginal behaviors has helped the industry to get refocused on the customer - the main mission after all. Almost all firms have now repaid their TARP money. And, critically, business is picking up. This year, 2010, is shaping up to be strong in M&A and solid in both debt markets and follow-on equity. IPOs remain weak but should be back in strength as the equity markets recover. Credit markets are stronger and bargain hunters are finding traffic jams on their way to rescue weak banks and other distressed companies. This all bodes well for the future and reminds us of the situation in banking in the 2002/3 era.
Financial reforms will also change the industry making it tougher for firms to profit from derivatives and proprietary trading. While this may exact a toll on near term profitability, the changes are not likely to change the long-term viability of the investment banks. It's possible even, that reforms will ultimately strengthen the industry, by renewing the focus on traditional intermediation activities.
There is important good news for you which is that recent upheaval creates opportunity in investment banking, and because investment banks perform functions that are central to a market economy they tend to emerge from downturns stronger than before. You'll find the suggestions below are very relevant in the current investment banking job market.
Finding banking jobs remains difficult at present but is much easier than it was a year ago. We think that this is the best time in a long time to get into the industry. The current environment creates unprecedented opportunity in the banking business. Despite talk of low pay, don’t worry – there is still plenty of opportunity to make money in banking. Past periods of instability in this industry (which are unfortunately, all too common) have created great opportunity for upward mobility. As experienced players exit this industry, are laid off etc., room is created for those who remain and those who enter to do well.
Investment banks are essential intermediaries in a well functioning economy. They match users of capital with suppliers of capital with ever greater sophistication. In addition, they provide high value strategic advice to both individuals and institutions. Think M&A and financial planning. Banks are not going away. They will bounce back and continue to offer positions that are interesting, lucrative, and deeply satisfying to those who excel (or are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time).
The key to finding jobs in investment banking in the current market is knowing where to look and then being persistent in breaking in. In particular, a job search in banking is a numbers game. You talk to a lot of people and you are going to “hit” in a certain fraction of those discussions. The odds are worse now so you need to work harder. Talk to more people. Be more prepared than usual and very good at following up (the quality of follow-up distinguishes many people who get jobs).lowongan kerja kosonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515806406580214936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696295472196632347.post-59835572680847335382008-07-24T01:45:00.000-07:002010-09-28T09:58:06.530-07:00web site on investment banking careersWelcome to a comprehensive web site on investment banking careers. Investment Banks help companies and governments issue securities, help investors purchase securities, manage financial assets, trade securities and provide financial advice. The top investment banks including Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley are said to be in the bulge bracket.
Other investment banks are regionally oriented or situated in the middle market (e.g. Piper Jaffray). Others are small, specialized firms called boutiques which might be oriented toward an industry vertical, bond-trading, M&A advisory, technical analysis or program trading. Firms have lots of different areas and groups within them. In most firms, there is sales and trading which works with owners of securities, investment banking which works with issuers of securities (firms and governments) and capital markets which goes in between the other two.lowongan kerja kosonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515806406580214936noreply@blogger.com
