Hey guys I am fresh grad and just got here at Singapore trying to look for a job. I am an Electronics Engineering graduate equipped with CCNA. Therefore, I am looking for electronics/manufacturing/production/testing engineer as well as Network Engineering field.

Would like to ask some help from you guys whether any of your companies are hiring any of the positions stated above.

Thank you in advance....

Wow.. time for me to apply for PR.. not saying that im a massage gal though

Hmm. Why UTARIAN? Mind sharing what happened? Can't get an interview?

hi, guys, i am total know nothing about applying job in Singapore. Currently i am working as a sales rep in Malaysia for about 17 months already. I only study marketing, what are the job, or i should say what are the chances that i able to work in Singapore.
I don't mind to work as sales, marketing or anything that related to my field of study

why not baking?

my friend actually went to singapore to look for banking, ending asking to go to Malaysia branch.

choose banks ^^ you can do sales...

btw, what's ur edu background? results? age?

apart from sales, is it hard to be recruited into banks in SG as foreigners? leaving alone those experienced ones. i personally dont see any fresh/entry level vacancies.

Hi can anyone recommend a good online singaporean career forum like this? Not hwz please

Thanks!

sammyboy, definitely

yes it isnt too hard to enter a commercial bank with a sales role. attended a career talk by one of the largest domestic banks and apparently they are looking for lotsa personal bankers. they told me they recruit all year round. academic requirement wasnt high, but at least a diploma.

myself just marketing, sales no problem, result degree (average), age 27. Currently working as Medical sales rep (work like super man (taking care whole of kl and selangor + negeri sembilan privite hospital) see around 317 doctor per month.
In the mind of thinking change to bank industry

Well, for an entry level position that any tom d*ck and harry also can do, why would a bank bother with all the hassle of employing a foreigner when there's lots of local SC's who can fill the roles?

And where did you get this "fact" from since it's not stated anywhere in the official websites?
The only statement I see is this.

"A foreigner above 18 years of age and holding a Work Pass/Dependent Pass/Student Pass may drive in Singapore with a valid class 3, 3A or 2B foreign licence, for a period of not more than 12 months. A Singapore driving licence is required after 12 months. Those on short term social visit may drive with their foreign licence for up to 12 months each time they enter into Singapore. For licence not written in English language, an International Driving Permit or translation is required as explained below."

I won't want to be caught in an accident in Singapore driving a Malaysian registered car with a Malaysian license after 12 months on work pass from the statement above but that's just me.
I suspect you can probably get away with it but why take the risk. Converting a license is not hard and you don't have to "blacklist" your Malaysian driving license if you are creative enough.

as above in red

I think recently, there is an article in the newspaper which discourages companies to hire foreigners ahead of locals. SG gov apparently is trying to implement laws to curb this kind of practice. So unless the job has no local people applied for (probably too lowly paid, sux job or job nobody else want) then only they will consider foreigners.

sometimes, some people never read carefully & understand carefully.

I am blind. There is no distinction made for Singapore or foreign registered cars in the text.

Added on November 2, 2011, 1:09 pmAnd I supposed you can show me the text highlighting that the rule is only for Singapore registered car?
Otherwise, it's ambiguous which opens up to different interpretation like right now.
