Are there any career fairs in sg early next year? So far I only know one which is Singapore Career & Training around March. Waiting for the JobsDB one which should be around the same time also? Last 2 years they held it in March and January (2009 and 2008 respectively).

Anybody going to the JobsDB career fair on the 26th? How is the job market currently? I got a friend who told me last year a lot of companies were only hiring locals/PR and it was very hard for him to get a job.

26-28th March from 10am to 7pm at Suntec City there. You going?

My friend told me that the monthly salary at Keppel not that high, so that's why they can afford to give out such high monthly bonuses. For KFELS, I believe its bad because they haven't secured much contracts so they are working off their orderbook. But I heard recently they got a huge contract from Petrobras, 1bln or more. Then I started to see KFELS ads looking to hire Malaysian SPM leavers to be trained to work in their shipyard (check Jobstreet) so definitely they are up to something big. Petrobras currently the only major company still investing in building rigs, but oil prices have stabilized so maybe things will get better soon.

Decided to go to Job fair this Saturday. Anybody can share insight on how their PAPERLESS system works? The official website don't have any info.

Also, what's fun to do for an afternoon at Sg? Sentosa sounds rather boring...everything also need to pay $$$. Me and my friend DSLR kaki so we wanna go take lots of pics.

In interesting to see vitriol directed at the company by Singaporeans. I believe they got their facts wrong, KFELS only looking to employ untrained labour for their shipyards, the manufacturing, mechanical engrg job is from a diff company but made to look as if from KFELS as well.

Petrobras still in the process of awarding contracts. They must have secured even more I guess, with this kind of hiring. Anyway conditions are much better now than when I was there 1 year ago, at least now can get contracts.

Anyway they are hiring fresh grads currently, consolidating all applications. Those who are interested to work in marine engrg should submit to the HR there. I'm hoping to be called for interview =)

What is the pay scale over there? Since you are working there...is is the same for Shipyard and FELS?

Correct to FELS in brazil but the engineering work will be done worldwide anyway. And maybe not all blocks will be made there, some will be done in FELS SG and shipped there. Brazil requires high % of local content, but not to 100% extent.


They have Management Trainee program. From what I hear 3+K only for Sg Male cos they need to undergo NS. Msian the figure probably closer to 2.3-2.5k, which is still pretty good considering Intel pays RM2.8 for 2nd class upper. Anyway hoping wseng can share more on this.

BTW how is the production dept like? My friends tell me is hell, but learn a lot. He jumped to Mech engrg after a few years. I scared I can't join Mech Engrg cos my degree is in Manufacturing Engrg.

FELS

anybody can recommend which one better between suki sushi buffet and sakae sushi buffet? i saw suki got sashimi, dunno if sakae got or not.

Haha thats overbudget already...but yeah reviews look excellent =(. What to do, I have to operate out of constrains haha.


Management Trainee Scheme. I guess your friend must have joined specifically as engr. Fresh or with experience?

If given a choice between working in Keppel FELS (rig fabricator) vs working in Kencana Pinewell (malaysian ong service provider) which one would be the better choice?

That sucks...cannot use file sharing websites anymore?

Can anyone shed some light on Starhub's $5 free calls to 18 destinations including Malaysia. What are the hidden charges? Seems rather far fetched that I pay $5 and can chat as much as I want with friends and family from Malaysia.

Wah that is damn tat loh! Last time i call they deducted from my intl credit, i end up with hundreds of dollars of local calls that I never use. Thx...this means I can just buy their $28 pack and get $100 to call back as often as I want. Can probably last a few months, hehe.

Why would people consider their postpaid plans with this kind of good deal? The free phones aren't really free anyway since its factored into your monthly payment already.

Ahh I get it now...you can call international at local rates, but they minus off from your international balance...means I will still get stuck with hundreds of dollars worth of local $$$ I can't use finish, haha.

Incidentally has anyone got SIP working with Android or Apple devices? With proliferation of data plans, it could mean far cheaper calls than even the telcos can provide, maybe at expense of call quality/lag.
