JustcallmeLarry,

Just as jitshiong mentioned, get the IPA and yes, the company will apply for the work permit on your behalf.

Anyway some areas that are far from town, it's possible to get a room for 500-600 without aircon and no attached toilet from what i've seen around. These kind of rooms can be furnished with basic furniture or semi furnished though. For good locations near to town, afraid to say...room rental is high because of the nearby amenities and facilities, not forgeting that alot of foreign expats like to stay near or in town area for convenience sake.

Sifu's

Just got a call from Deloitte SG yesterday. They want to have a tele-interview with me on Monday morning. Anyone here went through this tele-interview?. What kind of questions should I expect?

can pm Yeahs4.1 . He's the King there, quite well connected around Boon Lay, Joo Koon and Pioneer area.

Wanna ask what bus I can take from Klang>Singapore & Singapore>Klang?

anyone with experience taking train from SG or JB to KL?
Was thinking to take train to KL this week, but i not able to find the 11:30pm train in the KTM booking page. Can i just go there and buy on the spot? thx thx..

Why not?

You were worried the train station's ticketing counter doesn't sell tickets?

worry they sold out..haa
think to get the one with bed..
not sure why KTM booking site did not show the 11:30pm train ..

just wondering anyone came across this company name siong ann?

The stations you need on the booking page are "Woodlands CIQ" and "Sentral Kuala Lumpur"

If you are intend to board in JB, it should be JB sentral station

yes..just dont see the 11:30pm train in the booking page..

Is it hard to get a job in Oil and Gas company in Singapore for a Graduate? Non O&G companies can be considered as well. I'm Mech Eng fresh graduate and hoping to try finding job in singapore. Quite a number of my friends told me by giving self 1-2 months of constant job hunting, definitely will land in a position. Is that true?

I'm just afraid when i go there for job hunt, will waste my time and efforts, going back empty handed to my hometown in E'Msia. >.<

Any tips/suggestions?

It will be difficult to get job in regular Company for fresh graduate, not to say OnG company.

But quite a number of my friends, went there as Fresh graduates and got their jobs and working there currently within the period mentioned (1-2 months constantly job hunting)

Are you here to get opinions/feedback, or are you here to convince people that your friends are right?

Just saying my opinion and understand more on going to work in SG. Don't go bashing people for posting opinion. no offence.

Tele-interview is no different from normal interview, the question asked basically is more on technical questions, like what have you learn, what you know and bla bla bla. i went through the process and actually is a not bad experience.

Find Job in what company also hard, sometimes due to several reason:
-your expected salary is higher than they intend to offer.
-your qualification is not enough.
-your university is not recognise(singapore company doesn't know all malaysia private and local uni, just few top listing)

just saying doesn't mean what i say is correct, i could be any of it or maybe more,
coming down to SG for job hunting is quite efficient as you be available anytime, but the thing is you must give yourself at least three month as normal room for rent is minimum three month,unless you backpack.

maybe you can try job market online search first. see how the market going now before you decide anything

We get a lot of people who come in here with pre-conceived opinions from themselves or their friends & family. And it's not productive when they tell people who are actually living & working in Singapore that what they experience every day is mistaken because it is not consistent with whatever their friends told them.

They do exactly what you did. Instead of asking the former who responds why they said what they said, they just reply with a - "but" so and so say not like that wor.

So you'll get more from here if you ask about forumers experiences, instead of implying they are mistaken because your friends said something different.

Don't know what to tell you. My brother just booked SG to KL overnight with no problem. I also just went to the booking page put in JB sentral as per liangzhuges post and the 11.55 train appears too.
