CareerMinded

CareerMinded.com was founded by award-winning serial entrepreneur Goh Kim Siew, who is well known in Singapore and Malaysia as the developer of CalendarONE.com. This pioneering Internet events calendar won the 1998 Singapore National IT Award organized by the former National Computer Board (now IDA) for Most Innovative Service. Two years later, Cal... endarONE.com was cited as one of the top 10 start-ups in the E50 Enterprise Award. Kim Siew's entrepreneurial journey began in 1992 when he started iD Technologies after spending six years in FairChild Semiconductor and Seagate Storage as an automation systems manager. In 1997, he sold iD Technologies and made his first cash exit. Recognizing the business potential of the Internet, he founded CalendarONE.com in 1997 and spent the next five years managing CalendarONE and another events-related business. He exited CalendarONE in 2001 and took over one of its subsidiaries, TicketCharge, and managed it for the next four years. In 2006, Kim Siew sold TicketCharge offices to Singapore and Malaysia, to one of NTUC Singapore's subsidiaries and a publishing company in Malaysia respectively. He also founded Primeslot.com, the first interactive ads banner aggregation company in 1999 which he subsequently sold to China.com, a Nasdaq company. In Nov 2007, PE, a VC-arm of SME Bank of Malaysia funded StampsfreeSdnBhd to grow its presence regional but this plan was aborted shortly after the "Lehman crisis" in Dec 2008. In Dec 2009, Kim Siew started CareerMinded.com on his own to re-embark on his internet marketing business journey. This time, he aims to build a Career Guide which serves as a platform to enable job opportunities, upgrading courses and contacts information to be made readily available.Read More
