So i sent them an email (cos what have I got to lose, right?). Within 3 days, I got a call from HR <br /><br />same goes for another company. applied online thru their site, no news. sent an email to them, and got a call the next morning <!--emo&:hyper:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxm9.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxm9.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br />however this can&#39;t be generalized. some online application form works too (read: HR personnel bothers to go through them) as i&#39;ve got reply by HR...<br /><br />as for jobstreet, anyone have been called before for interview after sending in yr application? it&#39;s pretty daunting seeing so many applicants there...*sigh* no luck so far..<br /><br />what about snail mail? does anyone still apply jobs through this way anymore? <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo--> printing on quality paper, sealing the envelope, seems like so much work...and posting is much slower than other methods...do employers prefer this method, or not?<br /><br />oh, and one more thing, I find some companies don&#39;t provide email / prefer jobseekers to fill in the online application form on their websites....in these cases, oh well, if you&#39;re lucky they will call you...if not, your application will be buried somewhere in their record, and you only will hear from them 5 yrs later <!--emo&:shakehead:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/shakehead.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='shakehead.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br />hmm, anyone successful with jobstreet/online forms/other methods aside from email so far?<br /> vavavrooom Jobs &amp; Careers Tue, 14 Jul 2009 18:56:28 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1094203 I&#39;ve tried searching thru the net to get an idea on what is asset management exactly...however the more i search the more confused i get<br />anyone has any idea what it is? perhaps in more simpler terms (for noob like me)<br /><br /><br /><br />here&#39;s what i got from wikipedia<br /><i>The term asset management is often used to refer to the investment management of collective investments</i> <br /><br />that&#39;s too general...<br /><br /><br />anyone can help?<br /><br />thanks.. vavavrooom Finance, Business and Investment House Sun, 12 Jul 2009 21:42:25 +0800
