You see how a civil servant looks. Just not cool. You won't be at a disadvantage if you start older, just explain what you were doing.

I also want to tell you that politics is everywhere. You should learn to deal with it instead of avoiding it. The bigger the company, the more the politics. Just look at it as human relations and a skill you need to master. Avoid office gossip and badmouthing, pretend not to hear a lot of things and keep your mouth shut and smile.

Only you can answer what you reallly want to do.
hi bobo,

sorry, pls enlighten me. what does it mean to be uncool? as if acting stupid and not aloof and blatantly or brutally honest?


BTW, is it really true that besides invrstigation postion in the MOM, most of the other postions are 8 to 5 or office hours and that they do not work during the weekends?

pls do let me know

thank you!
