Cheese...

Still hv no idea...
I'm
Not frm Ong back grd..but work wit one of Ong xo before...cos I dun like my current boss so was thinking transfer first as a stepping stone to find better co in Sg..

What engineering first? Electronics? I think its hard for electronics cause I applied alot of electronics companies during December 2011. No reply from them. Or maybe my CGPA too low? lol.. i'm freshie btw..

OnG is booming now, especially subsea business. A lot of suppliers are mass hiring since last year, some are still hiring today as we speak.

If you must know, electronics business is hit very hard by the slow economy starting from 3rd quarter of 2011. So that explains..

Singapore is definitely less discriminatory compare to other nations. It a smaller case of course. May not be for you. But maybe for Indians, Pinoy and other nationalities.

Once you reach the age of 35-40, you will understand more about discrimination. It can be in many forms. So, you need to 'blend' in to fight them. Work smart.

I'm Looking at mechanical field..but I think hard to be enployed by Ong co since I dun hv Exp in this field

Live like king? If he's earning RM8K outside Klang Valley then perhaps yes.

Sgd8k is way above average Singapore population's earning. Some more in Singapore, no one has asked me to go back China, or Malaysia.

I tot SG average salary is S$6k? or is that combined household income?

Don't keep feeding the troll with $4 chap fan.

well, about my interview earlier this week, i pretty much spent about 30minutes getting killed and owned by the GM, where he boldly mentioned that I am not adaptable, not flexible, and technical minded ( he is is looking for someone with more commercial minded). Sent a thank you letter the day after the interview, and the HR said will revert to me by Friday(today). But today the HR said still cannot conclude their selection yet. My guess is that, I did bad, but the others did worse. lol
