hi all
I come from Kajang, single
Has about 10 yrs working exp. in MNC R&D electronics & as sales engineer (1 yr only)
currently pursuing Master of Eng. Management in UPM, will be completed
within 1.5-2yrs
Interested to get a job in Singapore in future due to current situation in M'sia is not encouraging.
Will stay in Canberra road Sembawang in the future, relative apt. is there.
Any opportunity inform me in future. (finished scanning the thread from V1-V5, n DL some important links)
In fact, downgraded salary after switched to local company as sales engineer, but is reasonable due to no exp. Resigned already (dont have 2 mention 2 much about Chinaman company). Grateful that I got some sales exp.
Quited Jap MNC due to no work-life balance (stayed overnight once a wk in recent yrs)
(passed JLPT Level 3) - just some other ability
found that searching job in Sing. is not easy, been trying for few mths
even asking for SGD3K only -engineer or sales job
Thanks!

hi Bro,
I mean job for sales engineer, SGD3K.
As for manufacturing,
my specialty is uncommon in Singapore.
I had surveyed that 4 my job scope,
it is considered niche market.
They will offer as Assistant Eng only.
Anyway, all of them rejected me because
either open for PR/citizen or my qualification 2 high
for assistant eng.
n also, i noticed that the job description for engineer
in Singapore is more challenging, most of the skills I not acquired.
maybe due to education system different, or mostly kwailo MNC provide these skills.
I was graduated in Physics.
Anyway, as long as I able to get job in Sing. then I can settle down
and aim for PR and so on. C how lah.
Now oledi 31 yrs old, late oledi when look back.
Recently I got called for interview for sales engineer in Sing local company,
when I demanded that I 12 stay in Sing. n drive M'sian car (they 1 me 2 stay in JB
n to n fro daily), no more reply from them.
When review back, ridiculous 2 drive m'sian car in Sing.
But if stay in JB, many disadvantages :

-need pay house rental
-safety
-jam in traffic/custom
-driving risk (eg. accident, etc)
-energy

4 company point of view if stay in Sing (I guess)
-SGD20 per day, petrol, parking, higher allowance, etc.
but advantages for me :
save rental, time, energy, good safety

Thanks!

Thanks for the info,
btw how much do u think i need 2 pay my aunt apt in Sembawang HDB
(I live there alone 4 whole house), I already have a figure in mind, just need some opinions.
Electricity + water + etc.
in the future, will go there 1 month, get the newspaper, n hunt 4 job.

BTW, how to installed free GPS for my Iphone 3GS.
can send to shop to fix it? how much? any idea?
I know Garmin can't be installed. maybe papago, tomtom, etc ok
Correct me if wrong.

thinking about M'sian car, it would be a problem if i left it n work in Sing.
Luckily not yet purchase any property in M'sia.

What is the salary should I demand for engineer in MNC?
I think similar to what I got in Msia rite?
The master degree I pursuing now is not thesis, just coursework based.
Somemore not NUS or NTU.
Many people adviced to take MBA because popular n high demand, but it is just 2 business oriented 4 me,
I prefer some technical knowledge so that not 2 boring.

THX.
