What bus transport? SMRT/SBS/Bas Kilang?

In fact, those who does not have any certificates, they are actually trying to find some excuses to console themselves and convince people surrounding them that what is the big deal without the certificates.

When i graduated back in the 90s and started my first job, all the supervisors who did not have certificates, everyday singing in front of me that my degree certificates is just a piece of toilet paper. They showing off that they know so much things in the work as i am a newbie (who knows nothing) and i was still trying to learn my way up and what were they doing. But, today, the same bunch of supervisors that i know, some have been retired and some are still working and their status have not changed much and few of them are worse than where they were 10 years ago. Thus, certificates is very helpful if you have it, but if you dont have it, it is not the end of the world, but the road ahead is more difficult and for those who want to be successful, you must have some luck or talent and be one of the smarter one out there.

Hi, it depends what time your work starts and your working location. Say, the working starts at 9am, you live in town and working location is downtown in SG, so you need to reach CIQ 6.30a.m to be on the safer side. Usually 2 hours you would be able to cross the castam and reach downtown. Give extra 30 minutes allowance to prevent being late for work.

Oh where did this ad come from?

freight forwarding / shipping co, tittle marketing coordinator, but no marketing function

lol i'm not in a freight forwarding/shipping co

it's definitely not a marketing function per se. more like a marketing support role, more on the operations side

Quite a number of job ads mention
Singaporean/ SPR/ Malaysian

eventhough officially a malaysian without PR still going to be considered
as 'foreigner' in the quota, why still favour malaysian ah?
issit because they see us easier to obtain pr?

male no reservist
female shorter maternity compare to citizen (usually more prettier than sg gal without makeup)
overall perceive to be more hardworking

Can't agree more.

Hiring a non-degree/non-certified personnel poses risk to hiring manager. Its like putting his head on the chopping board and pray that you're capable of what you were saying/lying(lol). Project tenders nowadays, demand qualified personnel to be involved as well.

Most people(including me) choose to play safe under such circumstances.

singapore employer no need to pay security bond to MOM for malaysian work permit holder which is amounted to 5000 minimum to 60000 maximum depending on how many work permit the employer hired which applied to all non-malaysian foreigner.

i'm not hiring, i just shared a link. did i say it was for my company?

hello~
started working in SG about 1 yr ago...
got called after depositing resume in jobstreet ~

I can't imagine having to do this every day @_@ ... so much wasted time just standing in the bus, standing in queue at immigration, etc ...

so free meh u?

it's a trade off. what you lose in time, you gain in more disposable income. i've seen colleagues leaving for work at 7pm, only to reach home at 9pm. after eating/bathing/etc, they're lucky to be left with a few hours before going to sleep, only to wake up again at freakin 5am in the morning to go to work.

but yes, i share your feelings. i'd rather pay rent and stay closer to where i work than travel every day like that :s
