Recognize by? Which field btw.

Sad ah, you own self as engineer but never mention engineering as a profession... Pride no more? Oz demand for engineer quite high.

Haha... Good question!... As my friend also asked me the same question b4!... Yes... I agreeed to you on NUS/ NTU graduated dislike to work as contractor under the big sun!... Since, u said like that!... Then, where those B.Eng Civil graduated going??? If you said sg is emphasize on paper prospective!... If they apply for others non-engineering jobs, of course, they will get reject!... Bear in mind, nowadays sg econ is no good at all!... Nowadays, the hiring managers will only select those fresh graduated with relevent study to fill in those vacancies (Specially, high paid like above 3K)!... I'm not sure of the current salary range of consturction line!... I read newspaper reported only those NUS & NTU medicine & lawyer freshgraduated with no exp can get 3.0K-3.5K SGD salary!....Others fields of study all below 3.0K SGD!...

Back door? U got somebody to help u? Help me as well la....

It is a very top famous company in SG!... Almost all sg ppl know it... Don't you notice that this co. always looking for people? They hv alots of vacancies from time to time!... I attended this co. interview in their HQ b4... But, woodland is factory based.... I got one Singaporean colleague work at there 1 month only and straight away resigned!... He told me that he really cannot take the stress!.... Hear say, their pay not really good la... Anyway, no harn to try to attend their interview!... As u can gain some interview exp in MNC!... I think the questions that they ask should be different from experienced candidate... Coz the question that interviewer asked all are related to my working experiences!.... Oh yeah,,, She asked my hobbies/ what you do during ur leisure time (Such a boring question), u r from which state of M'sia!.... If u really wish to get this job, no harm to try to put lower abit ur salary... If u really get d offer, u can bear with it till 3yrs and looking for another better job!... As u know that nowadays global and sg econ also no good... The big impact to eletronics line!... U know d sales is keep on dropping in electronics line? U still dare to ask for higher salary? haha... Think twice!... Good Luck to you!....

John... Cannot too explicit la....

No sad... Coz I'm not engineer!... Engineer demands quite high in SG, M'sia and UAE... Aistralia is not in the list!.... Coz Australia hv enough demand for their local ppls and they don't need outsider...

If you're indeed so good, but cannot seem to get a job with a package you deem appropriate. Then, whose fault is it?

Micron @ woodland? hmm, salary okay comparing all the stress you going to get there. you can put the range from 2.4K ~ 3.2K i believe.

OK.

so many posts...lazy quote all from samual8833
all i sense is pure rage and ranting
you CLAIM to have a very good degree and 5 years exp (3 in mnc)...so now you know the job market like the back of your hand?

all those our certs are useless in MNC cause Caucasians consider us all as asians <-- okay...valid to a certain extent. However, how often does one get a Caucasian as the hiring manager here? just because it is a MNC does not mean your boss is definitely a Caucasian.

your exp is definitely a fit for the job u applied in sg <-- deemed by you not the hiring manager. what you think is only as far as boosting own confidence. too much causes a negative effect (probably the case now). job description in ads often deviates from real life.

good luck in your job search

hahah.. and the problem is ??

maybe not this year hahah

5 years experience and recognized degree
wait a minute, dun singapore have tonnes of that
whose fault ? maybe other malaysian with same qualifation that is willing to take lower pay

I don't think I can re-apply for my current jobs if I don't have a PhD with relevant experience. Too many PhD looking for jobs out there.

I am trying to say a degree is really nothing much in SG. You need to highlight what so special about your x years of experience. Working in a high tech company does not means you are the key person that hold valuable technical expertise.

Yes, it's that big a deal
And it must have been and always will be other people's fault

true story bro

7 of my colleagues are PhD (one of them senior lecturer)

So 6 out of 7 PhD are just normal lecturer, the lowest academic role. Wonder what can a degree holder apply? You in education line?

If it is NUS, you need good post doc to start with.

All Sifu,

My wife is trying to find a job in SG since I will be working there. Already trying to look and apply for some job online but anyone know whether your company is hiring as well?

She doesn't have degree just diploma in LCCI but she has been working as a HR Executive for almost 12-13 year. So i would say she should be more easy to look for HR and Admin line right?

Please advice. Thank you.

The problem is he is as good as the advanced technology and he feel easy to find a job with his advantage where his unimate all doing well but he still cannot get a job.
