QUOTE(Chrisky @ Oct 29 2010, 10:26 AM) try cal MOM n ask for reason (if there's any). Mine once got rejected before becoz of 'inconsistent information' wif my previous application, which is actually not a big deal itself at all. yup... they are appealing... suppose to start work on money but now still cant start work... haihz...yar.. now the company appealing for me and they wanna know the reason as well... ask ur comp to appeal for it, but that wil take 3 to 4 weeks.  QUOTE(keelim @ Oct 29 2010, 10:57 AM) You may need to provide more details about yourself, the application and your job. Most if not all advice shared by forumers are based on anecdotal experience. This is especially true concerning the secrecy of MOM and ICA's when reviewing applications in their back offices. yar... i think so... coz i hav asked my frenz and they felt weird as well... then they said mayb i needa give more details of myself and so on... but now is the company that help me to apply for the pass...QUOTE(Jurlique @ Oct 29 2010, 11:07 AM) Did you change job every 2-3 mths? nop... this is my first job... i'm a fresh graduate btw...MOM hates job hoppers. QUOTE(Chrisky @ Oct 29 2010, 11:14 AM) i doubt that MOM actually care n give a damn abt job hopping. Applying a pass means u got some1 (which is the employer) to 'sponsor' u, if the employer ok then shouldnt be an issue. yar... i've already signed the LOA from the company... they also dont know why... but now they are appealing... hope no problem with that...QUOTE(washabushi @ Oct 29 2010, 11:56 AM) lol...but i know someone actually face this problem... hope is not me coz this is my 1st job...QUOTE(danny_ptlm @ Oct 29 2010, 01:33 PM) May you share with us , juz got my bachelor... appling for engineer position... fresh graduate with no working experience... salary below 2k... and not a big company... any idea??1) your education? degree or etc 2) Position to be applied 3) years of experience that related to work 4) salary offer.. range... 5) and importnat its your company size (as you know, MOM is more strict for EP/SPass)  QUOTE(seantang @ Oct 29 2010, 08:15 PM) I will ask the Director General of ICA and find out for you when I see him for dinner tonight. Don't worry. ok... thanks so much... appreciated... |

QUOTE(Nokia convert @ Oct 30 2010, 03:33 PM) Is the company applying S-Pass for you? Judging from the salary given to you, you won't be eligible for an employment pass. The lowest employment pass (Q1) has a minimum salary of S$2.5K. hmmz... i not sure too... coz now i juz wanna hav workin experience 1st... i dont hav any workin experience at all... I believe you're quite underpaid coz my experience is quite similar to yours and I got enough to qualify for a Q1 pass. FYI, I'm a mechanical engineer (Bachelor degree with honours) of about 1 1/2 years experience. P.S- Please tighten up your facebook's privacy settings. Some petty employers that I know do check on that. Good luck with your appeal! I hope your pass will be approved soon. btw, regarding the facebook wat do they check?? i dont think my facebook got sometin for them to check... hmmz... mind to share more?? thanks for that... hoping can get approved as well... |

QUOTE(seantang @ Oct 31 2010, 07:37 PM) Polymer... you mean polyolefins and elastomers etc? yup yup.. If so, Exxon is the biggest in terms of having a mfg asset on the ground. There's also Mitsui. Most chemical MNCs have a regional or Asia HQ in Singapore, where their sales, marketing, tech service and R&D people are based. Huntsman for instance, even has their global coatings HQ in Singapore. okok... will look at their website those... thanks a lot for the listing... really appreciate it so much... |

QUOTE(crapp0 @ Nov 20 2010, 08:27 AM) You can find a job while your in singapore, getting a new job means you have to cancel your current permit, get out of singapore, and then do the whole thing with your new employer as you have done with your current one. QUOTE(nicvoo @ Nov 20 2010, 09:15 AM) cancel yes, get out of sg? unless u hav an intention to go back home yes else u can jus cont QUOTE(crapp0 @ Nov 20 2010, 09:22 AM) Arent you supposed to leave the country since your permit is canceled. If im not mistaken alot of china people do this whereby their permit is canceled by the employer but they never leave the country. QUOTE(washabushi @ Nov 20 2010, 10:28 AM) not sure bout other work passes... okok... lets say if i am a confirm staff... i need 1 month notice period if i wanna quit... means dat i have to quit 1st only i can find another job or while i working with the current company i can apply for another job?? not very understand here coz the permit is terminate by the current employer of the company rite?? hmmzzz... very confuse here...last time when i'm holding work permit (now S pass) i need to leave Singapore to get the white card to apply for S pass... so any1 wanna have breakfast with me??? 93855664 |
