QUOTE(kuro-oni @ Jul 30 2012, 10:26 AM) Taking into consideration if I were asked in for interview the travel cost (and possible overnight accommodations) I could be spending quite a large amount on just a possibility. And with the recent tightening of the foreign worker quota... PS: I think most people would've start looking through online job market when job hunting, its just that obvious a step. But I'm asking about renting a place in Singapore whilst looking for one. Staying in a hotel is way too expensive to consider. Trying to look for a backpacker stay area if you can accept sleeping in a same room with 6 and more people. cost arnd 20++ sgd if i not mistaken which mentioned in the thread previously. Travel from where which cost you so much? spending MYR still better than spending SGD.

QUOTE(bradshaw6861 @ Jul 31 2012, 03:37 PM) Hi, hope this is not too much asking. i'm looking for jobs at Singapore. Just finished studies and waiting for degree letter. But it just takes forever. So, is it possible that I find some temp jobs/ contract based that only need A'Level / O' Lvl education requirements. Those jobs are such as admin/ account assistance and etc. Do I include my Degree education in my CV? however, I have internship experience though.??? Even I include the my Degree education in CV, is it possible to apply for jobs with academic transcripts but without Degree Letter of COmpletion yet. ( For jobs that need minimum degree qualification) So did you completed your study? if you confirm you completed your study as you got your last semester result, why not just find job related to your degree?if they ask, you say you only waiting for the degree letter but you confirm completed your study already.

QUOTE(crazy25kid @ Aug 1 2012, 09:36 AM) can rebate for guardian, shop n save, cold storage cheaper fees for courses/rental at community centre free bag during sign up NLB member passion card can be used as ez-link and the 2% rebate for ez-reload can be applied onto that card instead of the credit card only. extra discount for some stores at times...i saw for skechers before...i dun really shop for branded stuffs so i dun take note of the brands. the fee is sgd12 for 5 years...which is equivalent to sgd2.4 per year Wow...Seem very attractive...haha, maybe i can consider sign up for another passion card and have 2 ezlink card instead of one.

QUOTE(chess_gal @ Aug 1 2012, 10:58 AM) One of my friend who has been working in Sg for past 5 years were detained at immigration at the airport when he was about to leave Malaysia, apparently he didnt declare his tax while he was in Singapore. Upon investigation, he was told to submit an empty form despite no declaration moving forward. So, just fill in your name and submit an empty form online. This happen when he going back to malaysia for work and not coming back anymore? i just worry if next time i going back home on holidays, will they stop me?

QUOTE(r1v3r @ Aug 2 2012, 06:06 PM) If it is sms, just ignore it. If it is a call, it depend on my mood. Sometime I will entertain them awhile if their voice is sweet. They are just doing their jobs. Sms is still ok, sometime they wont give up on pursuing you to buy their deals,that is abit irritating, the kind of call where when you say not interested, should stop instead of continue to ask you to buy the deal.

QUOTE(megadisc @ Aug 3 2012, 09:53 AM) so far most of the call i get are pinoys ...so the speak politely.. also quite hard to be harsh but then again ..if no money also cant help XD btw, a friend of mine kena retreched yesterday by MNC elestronics company yesterday evening he was asked to leave and packed his stuff that very same stuff ...not even a headsup for this company, it is the norm for them to retrech the staff and leave the same day. he was contract and doing Systemsupport in IT dept. if you have any openings can foward to me ? But i thought retrechment should at least one week notice or more? System support job? seem quite some in job central.
