If your Masters is not in a very, very technical area - very, very few companies will pay more for it if you don't come with work experience.

not always go through every page freely.

So the pay same with bachelor degree salary? Do you think it's up to SGD2.5K?

SGD$2.5k is a bit low right ?

also very straight and not creatively to innovate and think to solve an issue.

the local fresh grad bachelor degree are asking for close to SGD3k....or some of them even insist of SGD3k min!!

I'm from s'wak, majority fresh grad here got paid less than rm2k. I dunno how much to expect with masters degree in singapore.

it is about how desperate the degree of a company needs you. the demand of such master degree is there in a specify industry? are you competitive enough to fight with those fresh grad?
anyone also can have master from any university nowadays.

i am working in the IT field. the filipinos are the admin staff...there are easy going...singaporeans in my department are fun..maybe because they are not in high position so their ego not as big as mountain...but i really hate the malaysians working in my department...back-stabbers,bootlickers and etc. working here really like watching the apprentice.

Locally, the demand for masters in the specific field is not high in the industry. I just hope that majority of Singapore's firm won't give "you're over-qualified for the job" statement. This happens in Sarawak.

Nope, but I don't want my kids end up like what some of my school mate either. between constant complaining or decorated with criminal record, indigos prefer constant complaining

You shall mandatory ask yourself are you in the Skills-in-demand?
Skills-in-demand

any foreign labour that are more competitive or local singaporeans can substitute your vacancies.

few years ago, was conducting interviews together with a senior colleague when happened to be at Labuan for some production issues in plant.
a bank manager also came to apply machinist/operator/sales. was wondering what was wrong? even a IT grad from Philippines also applying same vacancies.
both of them not even specify which posting they were applying. just put all 3 postings.

pls. be very sure of what is your focus direction. targeting to a small?medium?big?mnc company?, which suits your qualification. sometimes, people give face so mentioning "you're over-qualified for the job".

just wanna ask you to re-read back --> Skills-in-demand after reading above few sentences. not to discourage you. anyhow, you still can try and who knows a company is in urgent need replacement.

I still think that the problem with me is due to lack of working experience. Maybe they just wanna be politely reject and thus say over qualified. I've checked the link you provided and my field is not in hot demand. Mostly in the list are technical jobs. Thanks for the info.

that's a minus coz Sg is quietly reducing workers from East Malaysia.

Really? Why is that happening?

Heck, future jobs seekers got affected by those "unskilled workers" attitudes. That ain't fair

hey there, i am from sarawak too, now working in singapore. During my job hunt, i do feel that east malaysians are having hard time getting a job in singapore.
