"Senior level professionals who are in their 40s and 50s require other
perks such as flexible work arrangements and life balances so that they could
have more time with their children," Khoo said.

requiring job applicants to have the ability to kick start projects and deliver
results or key performance indicators and return on investment.
Khoo said contrary to general perception, organisations do not
favour people who job hop frequently.
"Job hopping will not reflect positively on the resume," she said.
