Unemployed for 12 mths, looking for career change in training

Hi,

I have been unemployed since Nov 2008. I have 14 years experience in Project Management and Customer Quality. I worked 3 years in Shenzhen China as Sect. Mgr Customer Quality before returning to Singapore in Dec 2007 after my contract expired. I am now looking for a career change in Training and Development. I completed the Advanced Certificate in Training and Assessment (ACTA) course in Jul 09. Currently I’m a freelance Trainer conducting Cover Letter & Resume Writing and Interview & Jobsearch skills course at South East CDC to help the unemployed better equip themselves to find a job.

I am looking for a full-time job to have a stable income. I’m able to facilitate training in soft skills such as communication, presentation and personal effectiveness skills as well as manufacturing skills in process and quality improvements.

If you know of any opportunities, do email me at tangim@singnet.com.sg. I would be glad to send you my Resume.

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Gim Leong

First Post, First Call.

I don’t want to make a big fuss out of the “virgin post” on this blog other to explain how I hope this little project can help people who are unemployed find jobs through the very simple concept of using a system of free referrals to link up employed individuals and job opportunities.

Basically all that is required is this: if you know someone who is in need of a job, or if you know of any hiring opportunities that may be of help to someone who is unemployed, let us know by dropping an email to sponsorajob@asia.com and we’ll broadcast it (blog, Facebook, Twitter etc). Or you can broadcast it yourself on the Facebook and Twitter sites if you already have access.

Unfortunately, we are also aware of bogus cases out there that may try to take advantage of things, so at this point, we will actually screen through the referrals (we’ll work around that eventually!)

It doesn’t take a lot, and neither would it cost anything, but if you only took the time to do it, it could make a huge difference to the life of that someone and his/her family because they managed to find a job again.

So for the time being, get the referrals going, and help us make this project a success!
