Do you feel email is more convenient than phone number?
Sarah Lam reply on January 12th, 2010:
If you are looking for a job placement, surely you would want to walk in or at least call to get more details before you walk in for an appointment. Besides, there is a high possibility that you won’t get much info by sending them an email. They will probably reply asking you to call them or walk in.
I like this web coz it really provide a lot of info. Just read Jasmine message, want to advise find a right agency is really important. Do not engage with the agency which ask you to pay money. Try to call the agency and talk to the consultant before you engage with them. Once you feel the consultant is polite, reliable, go to visit their office as well. Hope you can find a good job soon .

SWKY reply on May 4th, 2010:
One *mentality* that I dont really quite understand with *some* recruiters is that treating jobseekers like beggars – even if it’s a management/snr executive level search. Some *sounds like* they have *something ready* and think that *you might be an excellent match* – giving hope then never go all the way to let you know the status. They prefer to just *keep quiet*.
I am interested to seek employment with NGOs such as UN. How do I go about doing it if they dont advertise any job postings?
