Previous & current @ JenJOBS

In JenJOBS, JobStreet’s main competitor but not reaching JobStreet’s level of monopoly yet, when employee applies for a job, his/her info is uploaded:

JenJOBS Apply > My Present Job

What if you are currently unemployed? You wouldn’t have a present job, company and salary. Self-employed doesn’t count here – you are employed to yourself :)

JenJOBS automatically grab your latest work experience into My Current Job section. If you are currently unemployed, it still displays your previous job and not the status that you are unemployed. Which defeats the meaning of My Current Job. Current = present, now. Previous = most recent before now, last time.

If you (or JenJOBS) insert your previous job in My Current Job section – and you are not working currently, that’s called providing invalid/inaccurate information.

Now, I can just imagine the interview processs:

Interviewer: You are currently working at … [looks at the application in JenJOBS] ah, this [company].

Potential employee: That’s my previous company. JenJOBS automatically uses my previous job into the current section in job applications. I tried to change it to reflect that I’m not attached to any company now but JenJOBS doesn’t allow me to put it blank or dash.

Actually I had several headhunters and interviewers asking that question. I only clarified that it was my previous job. I didn’t say JenJOBS automatically uses previous/latest job in the current section.

According to JenJOBS:

For your information, the present job column could be use to fill in your
previous working experience. This is to allow company which is interested on
you to understand more on your previous working experiences. This will help
in getting short-listed by the employer.

However, if you are a fresh graduate without any working experience. You
could use “.” to skip those compulsory field.

So for JenJOBS, “present” is interchangeable with “previous”. Superb English!

Testing 123. I tried that “.” and clicked Update. I got a new blank page on that window. Huh. I went back to that page and change another field (this time a higher salary heheh) and got a blank page too.

Another annoying thing is JenJOBS displays your Highest qualification and Years of Experience in the application (below My Current Job) after you click Apply too. This is already in the resume, do jobseekers really need to look at it again? If jobseekers wanted to update our resume, jobseekers could certainly click My Resume! I guess most people would just ignore this part.. I did ;)

JenJOBS Apply > compulsory section

This is an improvement (yes) over the previous settings where job seekers had to select the options everytime they apply a job. I thought, how often do the job seekers’ Highest qualification and Years of Experience change? A note and link “Please update your resume” would be more efficient.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I thought there was no 11am show at 1 cinema so I went for the 12sth.

At the counter, I saw 11am show was listed!

So! Don’t believe what the newspapers print. Not everything.

I wasn’t sure if the newspaper printed wrongly or was fed inaccurate info or there was sudden changes.

It’s not 3hrs. Felt a bit shortchanged – the fight at the end was.. not as exciting as previous fights with He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named Volderrrrmort! His name should be He-Who-Has-So-Much-Power-But-Still-Waiting-For-The-Nose-To-Appear :p

My fav character is eccentric Emma Thompson since Ron’s not as funny as before.

Emma Thompson mumbled, “Mnh mnhh you you…”

Wondered how she felt working in this movie – Helena Bonham Carter (the crazy hair prisoner) had an affair with Emma’s husband, Kenneth Brag-sth previously (real life).

Ssssssssnape. The way he speaks. *shake head* Stylish. Devilish. Alan Rickman must have lots of fun playing him.

Dumbledore needn’t say “Open sesame!”

Did Dumbledore cure his own eyesight? Did he get laser or contact lenses? There must be a spell for eye problems, right? Can I have it, pls? :)

To have the ability to shape shift like Sirius Black. I’d like that.

But the kissing scene?! I guess it would appeal to teens who want to kiss Harry or Daniel but it didn’t look like they were that into each other. A real kiss would have both bodies plastered together. See here, only Harry’s nose got squashed.

Kissy kissy in front of (dead) parents, dead people and that handsome Cedric. Awww

Oooo.. maybe Voldermort kissed someone and that’s how he got his nose now.

Random thoughts:

• I like the fireworks by the Twins.
• The fights of the bad vs good with swirls of white (good) and black (bad) look real.
• Hagrid’s bro looks like Shrek!
• Harry’s eyewear doesn’t have any glass – there’s no reflection on the glass part.
• Hermonie is going to be very beautiful woman soon.
• There are ridiculus teachers like Umbridge.
