If you have completed your degree, then not a problem. Get a formal letter of completion from your university to prove that you have fulfilled all requirements and that you will be conferred a degree at the said date.

Really depends on the size of the company, MNC or not, whether you are applying for a job that's in demand or not etc. 2000-2500 rule of thumb, I think.

Yes, why not?

well, i heard bout it from a HR personnel there through some connection, so bit worry they dont accept unless its the degree cert. I'll get the letter and try though. thanks lots! appreciate it. hope can start work by jan 2010.

i also heard from another friends said that we can request for a phone interview in our resume so that we dont have to travel down, an this will not make the company's HR feels that im not passionate enough. guess it boils down to the company's culture, i assume.

No worries, rayray, I've got my job here with my academic transcripts. Interview + landed a job here in April, but convo in Aug. It's not an issue, just u have to make sure ur letter from uni (to obtain ur Employment Pass for example) clearly stated that u hv fulfilled all d requirements + to be awarded / conferred degree in ??? (must have the keywords in the letter, if not , like me lor, travelled to MOM for few times)...

My PR application = rejected. so sad. wrong timing i think (self-comforting ). a fren of mine, who is also an engineer (but M&E, im C&S) = rejected although he has been working in SG for two years (both of us applied in aug, that time d gov said population in SG > 5 million). or maybe bcoz of d job credits scheme is extended untill next June, so want to d prudent as d economy of SG is recovering from recession...im a bit emo now...as in my country, im rejected...in sg, im also rejected...

in d letter stated i may apply in 2 years time can i appeal? how? can it b earlier? say, another 6 months to improve myself. +++ my credentials...i want to further my master studies (after getting PR, with subsidies from SG gov , but now )

I applied in Aug too, I called to ICA 2 days ago, still processing, the officer asked me to call back after 4 weeks, she said now high volume application, normally it takes 3-6 months to process..

auspicious...u hv high chance, giorgene...

my friend n i went to apply on 29 aug, he received letter frm ICA last week, mine = yesterday.

gud luck n all d very best...

Any idea if its a common practice for Singapore firms that only after completion of the first year of service one will be entitled for his annual leave?

I was hired with phone interviews only so it's possible.
Depends on the boss/manager.

Agreed totally. Me too, hired with phone interview for first round session and proceed face to face interview then...
You can request either way and most of the employer is flexible on this.

All,
Any idea is there any SALES recently in S'pore especially in LADY/MEN's wear as Christmas is approaching?
Thanks...

its like u guys so easy get job offers in spore..im trying for 2mths d..no news at all:(

hye hella fellow malaysians working in sing.......i might be out of topic here, but i cant find a place to get prompt reply regarding my problem here..

1) how do i topup my GO POSB debit card here in malaysia?

- the story behind this......my gf has two cards, one is GO POSB(blue card which im holding) + 1 is the orange credit card(which is with her), currently she's somewhere in the middle east n needs me to cash in money to the POSB card that im holding.....so she can can withdraw money with her orange card(both card are connected to the same account)......so plz advice......

So the orange card is debit or credit since you mentioned credit here but debit on the title.

Just bank in money to the POSB card, not so sure how to do it if your in malaysia with a malaysian account. But if you have a singapore account, its just a matter of banking in the money online if you have her bank account number.

will try n see....thanks

Or u can try mayban TT ?? Transfer $ into the POSB account directly from your mayban account??

If u are away from Singapore for more than 1 day, coming back to Sg by Air, and not from Malaysia..
Then u are entitled to buy:
1. 1 L of hard liqour
2. 1 L of wine
3. 1 L of Beer

Just for the sake of clarification, assuming I'll be arriving at Changi airport from Australia before crossing the causeway back to JB on the same day, would I have any issues or whatsoever at Woodlands checkpoint with the aforementioned duty-free hard liquor (assuming I have no problems clearing the custom at Changi)? This is my first time coming back via Singapore so I'm kind of not too sure how it works there.

Also, I would appreciate if anyone is kind enough to give some information on how strict is the Singaporean Custom in the airport, as in would they check your bags thoroughly like what the Aussie do?

It will be on a random basis. If you flight is the selected one, once you walk out from the deck, the officer will screen your belongings thoroughly (examine everything from A to Z). BTW, what airline is that? AFAIK, SQ, Qantas will always kena.. Airasia just ocassionally.

So u mean u going to bring the hard liquor to Malaysia from Australia thru Singapore??
You should worry about Malaysia custom right?
Singapore custom check your baggage with the X-ray when you coming into Singapore, but not when you are going out.
Malaysia custom only allow you to buy 1 L of duty free liquor, when you arrive by AIR. I don think you get Duty free Liquor when you going into Malaysia by bus / car.. Ppl would hide inside their bag, and whether they will check your bag or not.. is depend on your luck.

On top of that, there is one trick if you use the 2nd link... enter the 2nd link during lunch time or dinner time, normally they will be too lazy to check your bags and will let you go.
Even if they scan your bags, their eyes will not be on the monitoring screen and chatting, playing on his hp etc... this is what i observe. So, you are quite safe.

I am also finding it extremely difficult to find banking jobs in singapore. Dunno why banks in s'pore are not hiring... i have almost 4 yrs exp but no offers on the table not even an interview........
