Starting up company (single person)

vnown75 — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 22:08:08 +0800

I want to startup my own company, where I am the only person working. I also want to have an office.

I was thinking of setting up a sole proprietorship, but on the website http://www.ssm.com.my/en/sole/starting-a-s...hip-partnership, it says:

QUOTE

Business includes every form of trade, commerce, craftsmanship, calling, profession or other activity carried on for the purpose of gain, but does not include any office or employment or any charitable undertaking or any occupation specified in the Schedule of the Registration of Businesses Act 1956 (ROBA 1956) & ROBA Rules 1957

Does that mean I cant setup a sole proprietorship if I want to have an office/shoplot?

Management trainee (bank)

vnown75 — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 19:00:55 +0800

I notice a few banks offering management trainee programs, but they don't really post the job scope. I vaguely understand they will rotate you between a few departments in the company and/or assign you to one specific department in the company.

But what departments are there, that they will assign you in management trainee program?

Anyone can also share their experience in what a management trainee program is the bank?

Jobstreet question

vnown75 — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:11:47 +0800

When you submit applications via jobstreet. It usually says status:received

Or if the employer viewed your application, it would say viewed 2 times.

But sometimes when you apply, after awhile it might say unsuccessful.

----------------------------------

But sometimes when I apply, the status says received, but it never say viewed. So does that mean companies don't read all resumes? And if they dont, how do they know which is the best?
