He's well versed in quality systems
Mr Low Poh Seng has handled projects in various countries.
Low Poh Seng, 52
The process quality engineer left his job at an educational institution in March for a change in environment and better prospects.
He has more than 10 years' experience as a process quality engineer and has handled projects in various countries.
He wants a job in quality or supply management in the manufacturing sector.
He holds a degree in engineering from Leeds Polytechnic in England, Britain.
HE SAYS
'My principle is that quality cannot be compromised. I believe that experience comes with age and I know my field very well.
I've sent out more than 100 applications but there hasn't been any opportunities.'
HR EXPERT RECOMMENDS
Mr Victor Lim, consulting manager of Kelly Engineering Resources
'Poh Seng's strengths are in quality systems and processes. He's been in a few sectors and I believe he has a good track record with the companies.
I would advise him to look at the medical equipment and telecommunication sectors where the industries are sustainable and still actively hiring.
He can also consider lecturing positions in polytechnics, or conduct training in consultancy firms because of his extensive industry experience in quality systems.'

HR EXPERT RECOMMENDS
Ms Jasmine Tan, consulting manager of BTI Consultants
'Monica is a bundle of enthusiasm and energy and is persuasively articulate. Added to her broad and deep experiences, she would do well in general management.
I see her picking up things quickly, even in industries that she has not been exposed to.
She can also consider taking on consulting roles with clients who have new business projects. They can leverage on her strong finance background, positive energy and leadership qualities.' E-mail: [email protected]
