Guys, during interview in Singapore company, they will definitely ask me one question which I always unable to answer it properly... "Why Singapore?". This is something that I'm unable to answer it nicely. Anyone got any good answer for this?

Guys, I think i need to approach headhunter or recruiting agency to help me find job as I'm unable to find a job in Singapore. Accenture recommends me approach Malaysia Accenture for Malaysia Job which its not my purpose. EPS, I have bad experience with them before. So I'm not planning to approach them. Is there any other headhunter out there in Singapore right now?

Without the bond, aren't you free to leave if you decide to throw the towel?
From 2 year bond to no bond, I do think that they value you quite highly. If you think you still have other chances elsewhere, you can consider declining. At the same time, you could also take on the job and still look for better offers.

Yeah, I'm free to leave if I decide to throw the towel. It does really provide me with good opportunities. I can still look for better offers while working, one thing i just feel unease, the attitude they treat me, is something like I have never experienced in my whole life. Somemore it is situated in Singapore. I thought for Singapore interview should be tough. Instead I got the job easily. Don't you think thats abit weird? I have been to so many interview in Singapore company, they never treat me as they want to hire me. But this one. yes they seems like their face appeared "You're hired" before i went for interview.

Maybe if you could provide the salary range offered and the nature of the company (SME, MNC) to give us more insights. We may deliberate further thereafter.

Sure. It a local based company, it does have official website. I have asked relative who has been working in Singapore before to check this company's background and it looks fine. By the way, its a small company, providing logistic system to various country such as Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines and other Asia countries. Its not MNC definitely, but I know that small company can easily go up the hill. My current salary is around 2k mid higher, but the salary offer is just above 2k just a tiny bit. ( different by around 200 dollars, sg dollar ). the increment will be $200 after one year working. But I don't know how the increments work for Singapore company. I know in Malaysia the increment should be around Rm200 to RM400. smile.gif

how many years of working experience you have?
2k+ is considered quite low.. but for a small company and for a fresh grad, you can try since it's not bonded

I'm not fresh grad. Got 1 year exp in software based company and 1 year IT helpdesk. I also think that the salary is quite low. But i worried if I further demand, they will reject me. cry.gif
