ermm... no one wants to meet up with me on 21st june?

I will be coming on sunday morning 21st. My colleague book hotel in Orchard Square Court, i suppose it is orchard road la hor. Then sunday I'm free lor. Monday have to masuk office. so sien

oh yeah, the place is called orchard grand court. sorry ya my mistake. paiseh. hehe. I will reach around noon i think. can meet up no problem. but don't ask me to suggest place la. cos i dunno mah.

i'm coming to my company's singapore office only la, not work here permanently.

ok,

hopefully there'll be other forumers joining as well. I don't mind the location cos I don't actually know SG very well you guys juz suggest a good place and let me know where is it.

wanna ask:

what's the salary range in SG for an accounts exec with degree + 5yrs experience (mostly in manaufacturing & trading line), and experienced in admin and HR field as well.

as in doing accounting

har, 5yrs exp with degree can get 3k only in small co? what if i apply for snr exec position or asst manager? but 6k in MNC is ok

am considering whether i want to go Sg next year or not. Cos rite now still thinking of other possibilities. my company wants to offer me to go to Shanghai. but haven't mention bout the package yet. But I don't think i want to go so far leh

although my company's asia pacific regional office is in SG, and my boss also got consider moving me to regional office, but i don't think i will comfortable sitting with all the big boss even if i decide to work in SG, i'll probably find another job. unless my company give me place to stay and offer attractive package. I'm thinking to work else where after i finish my part-time degree end of this yr. Want to save more in shorter time

no lar, actually ppl in other plant wants to resign.boss just say only. But i know if i accept pressure will be very big. cos firstly accounting treatmentin other countries may be diff, and other plants' operation is bigger than malaysia's operation.

Har?! have to review like that?! tsk tsk tsk.. teruk lah macam nih! But anyway the pay I'm getting now is more or less the market rate for grads with same amount of exprience also. Does all employer in SG must look at your qualification and not your exp only? some co in Malaysia don't even look at qualification. unless you are fresh grad. when i came for interview in my current co, my 'kwai lo' boss din even ask bout my qualification i think he don't know that i'm still doing part-time.

i think there's a few suggestion at post #1. u can jus try all. no harm.

wah like that ar? I nvr took notice of that actually. Usually screen through all the requirements too fast.

But anyway, if i want to switch back to do admin and HR i think the salary will be lower than finance rite? Unless i one leg kick do acct cum admin cum hr like what i'm doing now. few mths ago I'm thinking of working in changi airport in the hr dept.

Har? IT & Logistics also they tapau? or u mean the CFO overseeing these departments? I think for a normal exec, they won't know IT & much of logistics, well at least i don't

I'm going to SG on 26th & 27th Feb. Anyone wants to yum cha?

Actually my hotel is near Orchard road but i don't mind to yum cha anywhere, I can just take taxi or MRT, at least it gives me a chance to explore SG.

What is the most famous newspaper in SG? izzit NST?

I read in this thread b4, that some forumers mentioned that saturday usually have more job vacancy ad, just like The Star in Msia. I want to try my luck with newspaper since i din get much respond through jobstreet. Since I'm going to be there on friday and saturday, i guess i can buy the newspaper. Is their newspaper being sold in almost everywhere? Never pay attention to it everytime i go there

So anyone wants to yum cha? Am keen to know new friends

ok, Straits Times. Got it.

@Mackiddo, I don't buy numbers. haha
@alaskanbunny, I don't gamble as well. But for Malaysian izzit free to visit the casino?

Normally where you guys yum cha? U can suggest, cos I'm not that familiar with SG

Ok, I'll just get ST.

hmm... where is this Chinatown? Friday or Saturday? Maybe u can PM me. thanks!

For Malaysians who don't have PR status in SG, do you still apply for jobs that states: " only Singaporean or PR needs apply" ? I wonder how many can get job if most of the job requires Singaporean or PR?

Because i see most of the jobs state this. I was just wondering because many fresh graduate also able to get hold of a job that requires 2-3yrs exp. So i was thinking maybe ppl do try out for those that require PR status although they are not.
