Photo Shoot
Two nights ago, Derek took a headshot of me while I stood against our pale beige walls. While applying for jobs in Singapore, I found that many of the postings require me to submit my photograph along with the usual CV and cover letter. I searched through my archive of recent photos and realized that I have spent the past 11 months taking pictures of Dewi. The only pictures of me that I did find were those with me sporting a ponytail and PJ's. In the end, I ended up cropping out Dewi out of a decent picture that she and I took together when my hair was actually down and I didn't look like a high school student. Hopefully my "glamour shot" will help me in my job search. And I promise, these are for legit jobs!

Hey I still have your mug shot.......!!! Kidding LOL Oh my.....only in Asia I think it's part of requirement to submit a headshot for applying a job, I meant office job, even the job itself has nothing to do with the way you look. I am sure you look fab, don't smile unless you apply for SQ Girl (cabin crew)
ReplyDeleteIan, hide that mug shot! I look so oily in it. But seriously, am I not supposed to smile? I don't know if I can do that. Oh well, does this mean I won't get any job offers?
ReplyDeleteYeah don't smile, I think so...unless your job is require you to smile (customer service, hotels staff, cabin crew, promo girl etc) Ask Niken, she has more experiences on applying job in SG. I know it's silly, I don't understand that part too. I am surprise SG still adopt that practice.
ReplyDeleteThey have a non-legit jobs there? :)
