Has anyone used the international calls service from SunPage?
My colleague claimed that it's much cheaper than the postpaid monthly $5 IDD service fee and it doesn't deduct your local minutes. I asked how cheap is cheap but he couldn't remember how much is he paying.. sleep.gif
I couldn't call SunPage to inquire cos it's not open today.

Having the thoughts of working part time in Singapore is actually good, but the chances of getting hired just to work part time can be equal to 0, because the employer need to pay and apply the work permit for u.

Also, if u work less than 183 days, you are taxable as a non-resident at 15% flat.

Relax bro, it is normal that you don't receive much replies at this month because it is already year end and people tend to wait for bonus before resign. Trust me that next early year will have more jobs opening. In the mean time, try improve your resume so that it look nicer.

And for the result yet to released, it is ok but once you obtained your result, you need to submit to your HR. biggrin.gif

You can actually apply now, no harm done. But i think you will only have response on January or so.

I am an engineer and i don't work on audit firm, but my friend might know some company though. Have to ask my friend.

For the application, it is best that you send through email to the HR. Normal mail is too slow.

Refer this to help on your employment and which company you are interested. Here

Such vast statistics may not be available to the public. Your best bet is Ministry of Manpower (MOM) which they publish the labour market data on a quarterly basis, I suppose. Then again it may have a timing bias in the sense the publish data may have delayed by few months.

Attached here is the link to [URL= http://www.mom.gov.sg/newsroom/Pages/Press...aspx?listid=343.]MoM[/URL]3Q 2010 Labour Market.


Please gather the rest and perform a time-series regression on at least a historical 5 years sample. Extrapolate your analysis into Q2 2011 and compare the trend. You may want to narrow down into the specific industries like Services, Construction or Financial Services depending on your specialization.

Upon completion, perform an outside-in assessment from a survey point angle. IF you are in the financial services industry, do a survey in Raffles and Tanjong Pagar. If you are in the services industry, you may need to disseminate your questionnaire island-wide. Tabulate the inputs receive and look at trend to predict the highest probability when structural/cyclical/frictional unemployment reaches its peak.

The problem with these 2 analyses is that either one could be right or both wrong! Hence, the need for 3rd method of analysis to triangulate your results. The options are opened to you on the approach for your 3rd model. You may want to use multifactor model or any available econometric modeling you could possibly find from the internet. Compare your end results (after triangulation) of the 3 analyses to economists concensus on Job Market Outlook 2011. Do some refinement to your results and VOILA! you are ready to apply for jobs.

With rigorous modeling I am sure you will find an answer to your very intriguing question. OR, you may just send your CV to potential employers mailbox regardless of the 'trends'.

the reason why i suggest happy 128 is that when u reload, u got 100SGD local call and 28SGD for international call. And with 100 dollar of local call, i can guarantee you that u can never finish those amount by just receiving call. Unless u receive call for 24/7.

I got 128 package already smile.gif Its really nice to use and thanks for the recommendation smile.gif
