Looking for jobs?Look for jacob!JCG Search Int'l Pte Ltd

For the BLM:here are the notes guys,for your benefit.


How to get headhunted?
i attended a BLM talk by the renowned Jacob Yim,JCG search intl pte ltd.
Am super awed by him and his passion for biz and God.Just as what Founder of Enzer,Boyd Au says of him "Jacob is a Man of God.He speaks and listens to God all the time'

Wow..guys,imagine that with me.A Ceo, plying his trade in the marketplace, and still follows God madly.He sports a bald head(psst* Man of wisdom),but puts off an aura of extreme humility.

here are the notes in short, if you're dead serious of getting yourself hunted for jobs(or rather careers).
what companies look out for:

Short resumes

Please guys, Hr ppl are reading it everyday.If its too lengthy, they read the front page and chuck away, so the main content might be left out.Its not because they're lacking the spirit of excellence, however, they must give equal opportunity to every candidate that applied to post the best matching candidate for the post.

Achievement(preferably in the area of job you are applying)
Contributions(quantify that so that you could wow potential employers)
e.g i poineered a new marketing campaign labelled "Waseh" with the objective of an increase in market share from 20% to 35% within a span of 3 months.Hit target within 6 weeks into the campaign.By end of 3rd mth,market share hit 40%.

Do not badmouth previous companies experiences


Am greatly blessed by his empowering talk.If you really wanna know more, you could ask me personally!

Jacobs Tips:
-If you are truly sincere,do call the company that you applied for, checking out on the progress of your applicantion.This gives a better impression to the HR personnel working on your resume.

-If you applied with a recruiting company for more than 4-6 weeks, chances are,its slim that they'll pull you out of their system and slot you for any jobs.Reason being,they feel that you might have found other jobs already,so the best thing,call your agent and bug them further!

-Company point of view
competence(c) vs values(v) graph:

If C & V is a constant gradient, going upwards diagonally 45degrees-this employee is good, keep them

If the gradient is steered towards C,and registered a low V:Kick them out of the company.They're destructing your company

If the gradient is steered towards V, and registered a low C:Keep and train them.They might be a real good armor bearer for your company in the near future.

Guys,so if you really follow God's commandment and follow Him.Your V will definitely go up, even without the C,God will provide for the shortfall of wisdom and supply you with everlasting grace.
