QUOTE(r1v3r @ Aug 14 2012, 11:28 PM) Some company have housing benefit for non sg/pr. mine does Added on August 15, 2012, 1:47 amQUOTE(LiangZhuge @ Aug 15 2012, 12:18 AM) For CPF, you cannot take out until 55 or 65 for west Malaysian ? I read that you can apply to take the $$$ out before the age but if you come back to SG to work, you will need to return all the $$$ with interest. Anyway I pity Singaporeans with their CPF with the minimum sum, etc. and cannot get hold of their $$$ when they retire. IMHO, if you plan to stay long and buy property or for job security then applying for PR is a good move, but then again with 20% of your pay (max $1000 ~CPF ceiling of $5000*20%) locked up every month, it will be a strain on your cash flow. Lagi u kena $100 levy masuk casino  is EPF any better ? This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Aug 15 2012, 01:47 AM

What bosses look for when hiring fresh gradshttp://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1220114/1/.htmlSINGAPORE: A JobStreet.com survey recently conducted with 480 fresh graduates and 150 employers suggests that the top concerns raised by fresh graduates on job search are uncalled for.
Insufficient qualifications, often the top concern amongst graduates, was not listed as the top three hiring decisions from an employer's standpoint.
Instead, employers acknowledged the value of good interpersonal and communication skills as well as a good command of the English language above qualifications when hiring fresh graduates.
JobStreet.com added that among the fresh graduates who were hired, 40 per cent took between one to six months to secure a job whilst 32 per cent required more than six months to get employed. This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Aug 15 2012, 11:24 AM

QUOTE(jungyu @ Aug 16 2012, 12:34 PM) guys, i need advices, it'd be better if got any case alike. i intend to apply for PR. i am work permit holder, office type, have a malaysia local uni degree, with monthly salary over $3k. my company does not intend to upgrade my pass as the chance of success ould be very slim. so i wonder if i can apply for pr with work pass? work permit ? i think the chances are very slim. Almost down to 0%. I've never heard of any case where WP holder successfully get a PR. I stand to be corrected. Normally WP is for unskilled worker.

QUOTE(klein @ Aug 16 2012, 12:52 PM) Hey guys. I am asking on the behalf of my brother who is a SPM holder with the limited information I have got.. Which job seems better for an unskilled worker like him in Singapore? 1) Restaurant - meals and accommodation are provided; $800; bonded for 2 years 2) Hotel - only accommodation is provided; 2 off days per month; working 12 hours per day; $900 Or both sucks equally?  (going through recruitment agency) try go for Operation Technician Trainee in OnG company. Recently JAC (Jurong Aromatics Corporation) is hiring. They are looking for A Level but if you have a good SPM results they might consider. Starting salary not that high though, probably everything (base + allowances) add up to around $3k/month.

QUOTE(ff7yta @ Aug 16 2012, 01:41 PM) How can salary exceed $1999 for work permit holder? $2000 and above is definitely S-pass. How to get $3k with work permit? Doesnt add up woh. And technician trainee also higher salary then me, IT helpdesk I did not say work permit, did I ? And also there isn't a maximum cap for WP. If s$3k is higher than your current salary, then it really is. This is OnG, not any kucing-kurap company.

QUOTE(LYR @ Aug 18 2012, 12:12 PM) that's not what i meant. i will be working in SG for long-term. therefore, the issues you pointed are not what i concern. in fact, my employer intends to bond me just to get them fill in the Form 4A. so, i'm thinking to apply without going through them. is it possible? it's impossible to get your pr without gettin your company involve unless you got a sponsor. I think you better jump to other company since they wanna bond you for basically doing nothing other that verify that you are working for them.

QUOTE(seantang @ Aug 20 2012, 05:36 PM) Sounds like you went for your first "open house" organised by the agents. That usually deteriorates into a bidding war. But you're right. You have to be quick. You need to be firm on your budget (ie. pay right to limit of your budget without having to think, think, think) and you need to target a location, not a flat. If you're going for HDB and mass market condos - know that no flat will be perfect for your family/circumstances, and you can always compromise/improve once you move in. So don't fuss over small stuff like room layout, wall colour, slightly small size of this room/that room etc. My last 2 flats... I took it the moment I walked in the front door. The living room was bright, inviting and it felt comfortable to come home to (no hantu, damp, dark, lonely feeling etc). Location and budget was right,.. so other stuff can be managed. you forgot the single most important thing. Look for sign of fresh coat of paint outside your unit that used to cover up the words ' O$P$'.

Its DIFFICULT and EXPENSIVE. If you are noob or not skillful enough of coz it'll take a lot of time. The timing also depends on how frequent you practice per week/month.
