i am just writing my experience in sg. sorry, not everybody is an elite here driving cars and buying properties here.

many people want to come to sg, i am just showing my part of the world.

it ain't fancy like yours, but it is real. so why not let people know it ain't going to be rosy for everybody?

so typical. kthxbai.

Any tips guys for me to land a job in sg. sad.gif Been sending off email applications as well as Jobstreet ones for 1-2 months already. But none have replied. I'm applying from Sarawak, but no replies from them.

Is it because i'm applying from sarawak? Or I should opt to start find in SG?

how old are you ? still a kid ? use your miserable case as a benchmark for all ? when are you gonna wake up and stop ranting ? if not, I suggest you pack your bag, go home, probably cast a vote, hope for the best and never come back.

you just want to pick a fight.

I said so is because I am scanning through hundreds of resumes a week. I know because I schedule interviews everyday.

So you prefer i fabricate it all for him? Let him come back and tell u he got a job above 2k with a marketing degree with no experience.

He will be very lucky then. And you are just a seasoned troll.

Yo, I'm an IT(Artificial Intelligence) guy graduated with 4years experience. How much am I going to worth in the current market?
*
you can get around 2.5k and above

normally if the boss is smart, he will ask u to do a small project to see how good you are.

then he will give you how much u are worth. good luck.

so now you are using your company as a benchmark and telling ppl that is the 'de-factor' standard for Sg ? That he/she for sure can't get > $2k ? maybe for your sorry case but definitely not for others.
no one is trying to pick a fight.
*
if you wanna say like that, you can put your input instead of challenging me or whatever benchmark i have.

at least i have a benchmark for him, what do you have to offer for him?

I am just from a small SME company, if u are so smart u can work for any big MNC and they will pay you 10k per month. ain't that nice to hear?

Go on continue asking me questions.

talking about big MNC, still looking for a bigger MNC to jump to but after looking for so many years, just come to the reality there isn't any.
but I'm sure you are having fun at your company.

I am having fun. doing work that doesn't need to use the brain. My Director Exec promised me he will change me to the new department that he is setting up now. At least he appreciate my existence unlike the others. The person who hired me is just a manager. But this new director asked her to let me to the personality test.

After that, the very 2nd day, the director came and sit next to me and ask, "Young lady, what are you doing here in HR?! You should be at least at the marketing side. What do you mean you can't get a job? I know many people in advertising, I'll just give them a call but I would prefer to keep you here to help me instead. Just give me some time to set up the new business."

I am just sitting here waiting for the time to come. once I don't see any changes after 6 months, I will start go for interviews again. Because i can get annual leave unlike now i have to apply for non paid leave.

drastic changes in my life, i know.

lowering myself, i know.

but i can do it, because i know i worth so much more than the idiots here. and not all Singaporeans are smart.

Self confidence is good but bragging too much and thinks that oneself is above all and are entitled to a "crown", is just plain spiteful. Lowering yourself? You're not even halfway up there.

QUOTE(hokin @ May 3 2013, 11:47 AM)
I want to add my 2 cents on salaries and getting a job in Sg.

My observations:

This first set of observations should be universal throughout the world:
a) Each country will have its pay scale / range for different roles and professions, be it starting salaries for graduates or experienced hire, so one cannot compare salaries for same position / role country to country;
b) If you have a skill that is highly sought after, you get a premium compared to someone else who does not have your skill;
c) If you hold a good degree from top schools / universities, you will most likely get called for an interview and offered a job….provided if you are not too cocky or a show off or be able to carry yourself well and articulate your responses well;
d) Inter-personal skills (and good English skills) plays a big part on how one progresses in your career, vis-à-vis salary;

This second set of observations are Singapore centric:
a) Civil service and statutory bodies, LTA, PUB, NEA, etc., offers competitive salaries – priority goes to Singaporeans thou’. Teachers are well paid here, I was told fresh grads during training can get between SGD3-3.5K;
b) Start-ups and SMEs pay scale is usually at the lower end of the spectrum compared to MNCs;
c) Employers preferred grads from Singapore institutions of higher learning and are willing to pay higher compared to someone with regional obtained degrees / diplomas.
d) You are competing with talents from whole of Asia, from India to China and closer to home, from the region, from Myanmar to Philippines…and I can tell you the ones I have encountered from this region, a great number can speak better English and carry themselves better than Malaysians! The only advantage is perhaps we are closest in relation to culture to Singapore and perhaps some can speak Mandarin and BM…apart from these, you are just any foreign talent!
My observations are based on my short 1.5 yrs here and I am here not because I came down to cari kerja but on a company reassignment, so my observations may be skewed. Therefore I do stand to be corrected.
*
Very good and I agree.
