Default Do u get called up for interview if you dont put salary?

As titled,

Anyone have any experience if you put up a resume but leave the salary range expected "blank" but still get called up/shortlisted for interview?

1) civil service
2) private sector

Also anyone in HR or recruitment services can advice?

Thanks!

Default what is included on the relieving letter?

I recently quit my job in a SME. The relieving letter mentions only my start and end date. Is this normal? How do I prove what job I did and what responsibility I executed? And my salary?
Can someone tell me: what should be included on the relieving letter?

this is the first time i heard of a relieving letter, changed jobs so many times liao. neither i had any interviewers asking me of any relieving letters.

there is no need to prove the work you did or the responsibilities you have. whatever you wrote in your resume, the interviewers will assume them to be true. if not, they will ask you questions lor. in any case, got probation period ma, you are not what you said you are, you're out.

for salary, usually they will ask your for ur pay slip. by law, need to have. if dont have, show cpf statement.

in conclusion, there's no need for a relieving letter at all. you dont show it to your next employer. can use as recycle paper right away

I'm private sector. Depends. But ultimately it still depends on your experience and suitability for the job. Even if it's blank, if you are good enough, the HR would still call you up for an interview or on the phone try to ask you for your salary level.

If you are in demand, you can don't even bother about talking about your previous salary. Of course HR managers and recruiters will say they need your previous salary before they can choose you for interview. Depends on who is more desperate ultimately.

For 95% of the job seekers out there who are not in senior mgt level or holding specialize skill that is rare in SG, my advice is don't do stupid things and just follow instructions to fill in the expected salary.

Why do stupid things to lower the probability of you getting a job? Ultimately 95% of the case is you look for job, not the co desperate for you to join.
