Experience

A Singapore company wanting to hire me is applying for an EP pass on my behalf. I have given them the required information and documents. They also checked my background and credentials. What are my chances of success? To those who underwent the process, how was it? Thanks.

Mine was very smooth with no problems whatsoever. After my employer submitted an application, my EP was ready for pick up in less than 2 weeks.

I guess if your employer is reputable, your credentials genuine and background clean, you have nothing to worry about.
Good luck!

There are multiple questions in here .I am a former counselor and writer. I have sinced moved to a rural area (circumstances withstanding). Well, there is not much counseling opportunites where I am now. I decided to open my own business but, I am not as passionate about it like the aformentioned. I always have preached to be successful you have to be passionate what it is that you are doing. If this is my means to an end it is at a heavy price. Point being I have made a commitment and I am not going to abandond it now. Did you grow from a job experience that you were not passionate about? How did you survive mentally on a day to day basis knowing that it was your means to an end?

I have done a lot of things like this…most recently, in a job I liked but environment I hated. I was forced to hang in there, but eventually, I found a lot of peace in the fact that I could step back and take a look and see it for what it was. It’s tough to say if you will grow from this experience, but if you really have no passion for it–it eventually will crumble. Use it as your means of survival while you search for what you would like to do. The thing you have to remember is…it is never to late to do what you want. Don’t think you will run out of time…I am considering going back to school at 38. I figure, why not?

i’m talking about graduate schools in canada. examples of what professional or industrial experience are would be nice.
ii’m talking about graduate schools in canada. what are some examples of professional or industrial experience for school psychology?

This means that they want someone who has worked in the field in which they are getting their graduate degree. For example, a lot of MBA programs require students to have several years of significant work experience before enrolling. What they mean is that they want you to have gotten the kind of job that someone would normally get after graduating from college (a career-oriented job) and have worked your way up several steps in the organization.

Ok Your welcome… i like it

I used the thesaurus but none of the words seem to fit appropriately. I have a statement that reads:
Extensive experience in servicing customers, both in-person and via telephone but I also have a statement in my objective that reads: extensive customer service experience. Help – I have been working on this resume for 3 days and this is the one thing left I need to change.

Change the statement to about "servicing customers" to the actual number of years. "Extensive" is a rather generic term open to interpretation by the reader.

So odd question, but it was an odd situation! lol

What would you think if someone gave you gifts (didn’t even know them) and their number and said to call anytime if you wanted to talk?

Are they trying to befriend you, or what? Its a little odd, so has anyone had experience with that before?

She didn’t say much of anything else and just nervously left very quickly afterwards.

What was this about? A simple friendly gesture or is she hoping for something.. hm.. "more"?

maybe you should call her.
you actually just answered my question, i don’t know this girl and i really want to talk to her, but i don’t want her to be freaked out by me.
since i’m in the same situation as the girl, she wants te be friend and maybe more.

you need to call her if your interested

is it worth the money? how old do you have to be? when you do the ride along…who do you ride with?

My first stock car experience was with Fast Track Racing School many years ago. $350 for 12 laps under the lights at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The prices usually start around $300 to $500 for a beginner driving experience. Since that day, I’ve done laps in cars and trucks and at a few different tracks. It is always worth every single penny.

It wasn’t a gift per se…but it was something really nice that I did. I have a next door neighbor that is a very good friend of mine. It just so happens that our families live near each other…which is about 3 hours away from us. She really wanted to go see her family for father’s day, but was unable to drive over there.

I decided that I would go visit my family, and dropped her off at hers. Her and her mom were so happy to see each other…were hugging each other so tight…it was a joy for me to see that they were so unbelievably happy to see each other, and that I made it happen. They thanked me so many times…it really was one of the most rewarding things I’ve done…doesn’t sound like much, but it was because of their reactions. It was very touching.

No.. I keep it pretty clean..

Some people seem to feel they have little control over the reinforcement that comes into their lives. What kinds of experiences do you think could change this view, make a person feel he had more control over the chances of reinforcement coming into his life?

People that feel they have little control over reinforcements (rewards) are likely to attribute good things that happen to them to chance (something external, environmental) rather than to thier good efforts (something internal, personal). As a result, they are more likely to explain positive occurances in thier life as chance happenings and less likely to recognize thier own role in contributing to the positive outcome.

People can gain insight into thier own role in successes by shifting thier perspective and experiencing new things. Examples of reinforcements (rewards) that occur in everyday life are getting good grades by studying, making a good meal then sitting down to enjoy it, dieting then losing weight, practicing a skill (i.e. throwing a ball with accuracy or speed, balancing, juggling, knitting, etc) then mastering it, etc. Recognizing one’s role in producing the outcome (rather than attributing it to chance or some external variable, like the exam was easy or the meal just happened to come together) will help the individual continue to shift thier perspective.

Shifts in perspective take time, so be patient. As the positive experiences continue to build and the attribution style changes (the person explains the good event in relation to thier efforts instead of chance), they will recognize thier own role in thier own successes.
