QUOTE(vincentwmh @ Apr 3 2012, 04:49 PM) EDP expressway (JohorBharu) is now ALL GO for traffic !!! a) tarmac condition very very bumpy, badly done; b) road signage very confusing; It's not that bad. I used it yesterday all the way from bkt kempas to Msia custom. Smooth and fast ride. Only no petrol station all the way.

QUOTE(ham_revilo @ Apr 8 2012, 09:19 AM) Hi, Sorry if this a repeated question. I'm a mechanical designer now in malaysia. Been working 2 years plus now. I finally made up my mind to work in Singapore. But I'm having dilemma whether to go to Singapore to start searching or apply from here and go there for interview if they called. I have been applying from jobstreet from the past few weeks. My question is, what are my chances of getting a job if I continue to work here in malaysia and wait for employers to call me. The reason why I'm doing this is because I have commitments here and I'm not in a financially sound at the time being to go right down to look for a job. Sorry again if this is an appropriate question or a repeated one. Thanks in advance.  go Sg look for a job if you have some funds of doing do.

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Apr 9 2012, 11:38 AM) +1.Actually I do feel that for those who are staying quite far from Singapore, i'm not recommending you guys stay in Singapore and look for a job. Nowadays those companies in Singapore are rarely accept walk in interview. Even you try to submit resume or watsoever to them, they are either reject you and ask you to apply through online, or they just take your paper and you will be wondering whether it will send to HR or not. Even I live in JB, i also need to spend few months, to get a job. Maybe is my luck is not enough, but assuming your situation is like me, staying in Singapore for few months is going to cost you......  . If a company would like to hire you, no matter where you are, they will surely ask you to come for interview. Going to live in Farrer Park and start work on June 1st, I'm lucky that this company HR is willingly to wait 2 and half months due to my current contract. : which again one should ask, "do I have the special qualifications or set of skills that the employer will go all out to get me ?"

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Apr 9 2012, 12:04 PM) Actually, even you are fresh grad, it is still possible for you of getting hired. Its just whether the company wanna hire you or not compare with others who have better qualification. But this is somehow depend on your luck. Sometimes even you have the great qualification and skills, the company would still try to tease you or even make fun on you. I have a real scenario among my friends. I would say go for it, special qualification or set of skills? Its quite vary.  If i'm an employer of coz i will shortlist those who have better qualifications than those who don't. For example, a First-class honours degrees or even someone with double Degrees would have a clear advantage over someone who have an ordinary Degrees. There is no luck to it. So, do you have what it takes for the company to 'hunt' for you instead ? Added on April 9, 2012, 1:38 pmQUOTE(Jet23sky @ Apr 9 2012, 12:58 PM) I'm wondering your special skills for fresh grad is referred as? Lower cost? This doesn't apply only to fresh grad, its even applied to everyone, even how good are you with bunch of exp and cert, you will still expect lower salary compare to local candidate, even you got PR.  (better than Non-PR, but still can't beat local singaporean) No, why should you accept a lower salary than the rest ? This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Apr 9 2012, 01:38 PM

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Apr 9 2012, 01:48 PM) Nowadays there are few Singapore company are having trends even how high is your qualification, whether double degree, or even u got PHD, you might lose to a local citizen with a Degree cert. Furthermore the person has worked in Singapore for 3 years, + with a PR. This is not something that with qualification + lower salary demand can settle. Seriously, this is being as luck on getting the job. The treatment lines between us being as foreigner and local citizen are too significant. This is same goes to Australia as well. back to my question again, why should you accept a lower salary than the rest ? I don't see any difference in treatment between foreigners and locals in my company. This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Apr 9 2012, 01:52 PM

QUOTE(extremepower @ Apr 16 2012, 03:16 PM) Damn bloody bad luck kena rob.  I would think otherwise. Lucky the thieves is satisfied with the loot. If not then the outcome will be different. This kinda case is normal in JB. It just a matter of when and the odds are getting higher the longer you stay in JB. It's not too difficult to tell/spot which house got ppl working in $ingapore. Leaving in the wee hours, Sg registered bike/car, etc etc. I guess that's the trade off if you choose to stay in JB rather than Sg
