Where? I did not see it inside CIQ when I came back from JB yesterday night. The right most lane at the entrance to CIQ (towards SG) was permanently close for some time not for renovation but for "STAFF PARKING".

Do they have the guts to start charging before GE?

well, someone needs to pay for the renovation mah.

They got their means one. Maybe through LinkedIn?

Guys would like to know the effectiveness of these recruitment firms. Would you send your application through them?

I just graduated from NUS and I'm looking start my career in sales (preferably B2B). Been giving all these staffing agencies a miss as I thought they might have genuine offers (because many of them have ridiculously high number of job oppotunities) and I have the impression that company filling their openings through them are being secretive (What's there to hide anyway). Though I understand sometimes companies wouldnt wanna let their competitors to know what they are doing but considering the seniority of the position for a fresh grad, is it really necessary?

What's the trend now? Other than looking from online job ads website, should I read the newspapers too? Hope HR folks here can share your views.

Thanks!

no harm going thru them, since recruit firms wanna make a quick buck
sicne they already have a database of all the job openings it will be easier for them to filter the unncessary posting and increase your chances of being shortlisted for interview.

oh yeah cool.gif

RM 5k where can afford RM 500k house and a RM 90k Honda City?
RM 5k - say 18% (EPF & Tax) = RM 4,100

The repayment for a RM 500k house based on today's BLR and a 10% downpayment (or RM 50k) and 30 years repayment profile is RM 2,873. That means you left with RM 1,227.

A RM 90k car loan with 10% downpayment with a 9 years repayment profile is RM 1,047. That means you left with RM 180.

You think RM 180 enough for food, parking, toll, etc? You gotta be kidding me, right?

superb calculation bro ! that's good advise.

It's household average, as Deo mentioned.

Average salary is nowhere near that as there are lots of non-professional employees, manual workers or low wage workers will always outnumber professionals in any open, non wage regulated economy that has is still growing strongly.

But if you're in the professional sectors, working in a competitive multinational environment like banks, HQ offices (where regional or global roles are common) or working in the Orchard or CBD offices, 7K won't be too far from the average salary of your peers.

dont forget that there is wage gap between the rich and the poor.
and it's not getting smaller between them ...
that''s y the NWC naitonal wage council propose a minimum increase of sgd50 ...instaed of setting a miminum wage ...

Just say you want the overseas exposure and experience with Singapore's unique multinational environment (in terms of companies, but also culture and workforce). There is no other place in the world where you can work with Singaporeans, Malaysians, Thais, Filipinos, Chinese, Indians, Americans and Europeans etc all under one roof. And due to the plentiful RHQs, you will be working on regional or even global issues and assignments.
