Help migrant workers write CVs to improve their chances in finding jobs
Experienced migrant workers who have completed their first contract often have to incur additional agent fees if they wish to find new jobs in Singapore. Several even go home to their host countries and incur agent fees to come back again.
Good Company wishes to improve on this and help migrant workers write one-pager CVs in face-to-face sessions. The CVs can be quickly and easily circulated to a curated list of ethical employers and bypass informal agents.
Over the next 6 months, they plan to set up a booth at Migrant Workers' Recreation Centres with the aim to write 6 to 30 CVs for migrant workers primarily from the construction, marine and manufacturing sectors. And they need your help!
