QUOTE(Redondo04 @ Dec 8 2012, 11:00 AM) Just for sharing... I spend one day submitting resume to about 10 companies. next 2 day get call by only two of them. went to the interview, both at the same day....then got hired by one of them. next year start work...hehe  total time spend = 3days I would say that I'm quite lucky. The company gave me a test, i score quite well bcos most of it related to what I'm doing now. Dun giv up...keep trying. when i was jus graduate, i try to look for a job in singp too...but failed. now after 1 year...i try again, i got it. happy....^^ (advice: go jobsDB.com to look for vacancy, submit ur resume direct to their HR email.) good luck in ur job hunt.... Thank you for your sharing!  i might work in KL to gain experience 1st if still can't find any suitable jobs in sg.. btw, what industry u working? IT? |

Thanks No standard number. Like Malaysia as well, varies from company and industry. In banking line it's normally 25 AL days a year. |

I did log in to different job portals like monster, jobsdb, and sit in front of my laptop everyday to apply jobs..

Some give you free cash when u sign up . I know standard chart promotion gives you $80, I think HSBC also giving $50 or more. |

Added on December 9, 2012, 4:00 amQUOTE(seantang @ Dec 7 2012, 08:32 AM) About RM600 for a return trip and S$20 + RM15 for taxi fare. About 3-4X the price of bus tickets. Question is... How much do you value your time and convenience? This does avoid an 8-9 hour overnight red eye bus ride... which basically burns one day of your weekend or annual leave each way as well because you're sleepy the entire day. I do agreed on this. It depends on how one value their time and the level of comfort. For example, even though the travelling time from Sg - KL is pretty same for bus and flight (inclusived check in time) , I would pay more just to have the comfort of sitting at airport lounge sipping coffee waiting for my flight rather than be on the bus.

QUOTE(mercury8400 @ Dec 8 2012, 11:23 AM) Why cautiously optimistic? PM Lee has already stated that the influx of foreigners will be stemmed and companies will just have to learn to live with the current labour population in SG. Care to share smtg you know but we don't? Just my hypothesis reading the daily current affairs. The past few years have been terrible for Sg by its standards. Among 27 countries with GDP greater than $100B, it has the highest inflation rate. While this is fueled by housing and transport, labor cost hasn't been factored in full force. Only when housing and transport inflations are stabalized, Then the immigration tap can be closed more confidently. This may take several years. |

QUOTE(Find The Way @ Dec 8 2012, 06:13 PM) Does IDA announce their audit result on network speed? For most of the occurrences of internet connection lost I'd encountered, signal strength is usually good. NO. Goverment only need the network coverage all over the isle, but does not need it to be full speed all the time.Connection lost is normal la.haha  |

QUOTE(jtleon @ Dec 8 2012, 05:23 PM) what is the standard number for annual leaves in SG, for a corporation...and also medical leaves? Thanks By MOM regulation, minimum Annual leave must be 7 days per year and increase by 1 every year (could be more and it's depend on company's leave policy, my company are 14 days) and Sick leave are 14 days per year (also Hospitalization are 60 days per year). Just my 2 cents, those Company with only 7 days per year should be avoid. Stingy on the leave, you can't ask more for basic pay and bonus though.

SG room rental rates are still around SGD500++ for a common room 1 to a room....if you want to pay lesser you can try a twin sharing....maybe each person will need to pay around SGD300++? Also it depends on the location, location, location |
