Sana makapag-input po kayo..
Ang duties and responsibilities ko po from May 2010 til present is a mix of Ict technical support, BA and PM... Nagtitipid po yata kasi mga amo dito sa SG..
Prior to my experience above, meron na din ako experience as tech support. Please see below:
May 2008 to Feb 2009 - Pinas
April 2009 to April 2010 - SG
Based from the info above, pwede ko kaya isama yung April 2009 to April 2010 na exp ko as relevant kapag nagpaasses ako for BA?
Alam ko hindi relevant pero kung maghihintay pako ng May 2015 eh baka hindi din naman ako bigyan ng 5years exp ni acs..so might as well isama ko na para sa ganon makapgpaasses na ako asap.
Sana po may makapagbigay ng input.. nagaalala lang tlga ako kapag nawalan ako ng slot..
2nd option ko is mgpapaasses ako as technical support.. 263212 na alam ko mahirap makalusot
