I'm not sure about Audit associate position. But, I'm sure there are so many accounting jobs in SG. With degree in accounting should be easy to get accounting job at there. The pay should be ok... Last time, they likes to hire foreigners to fill up Engineering and Accounting jobs. The people around me quite many of them work for accounting jobs! One of my friend just hold LCCI also manage to get 2K job as account assistant/ clerck. Another one with LCCI cert & 10 years account expereinces in SG can get 2.6k. For degree holder with few years accounting experiences in sg can earn up to 3K SGD!

my friend with a/c degree from australia + 5 years experience in sg now SGD4k.

lucky her.

Haha... Freshgraduated? You're graduated from M'sia university, right? I think I might know you're from what university... One of my friend work as sales person in SG Advertising firm. Previously, she join that company and work as sales administrator. She's waiting for 2 years only successfully to transfer to sales dept. She enjoy to do sales rather than admin job.

The interviewers got question you for "Dont you go to work in advertising field, since u hold the advertising degree" & "What makes you think that u wwant to work for admin assistant?"...

That's why I say basic salary 1.6k + commission is a reasonable offered. Even, u work as sales in M'sia, ur basic salary could be lower than these! Coz there are few types of sales salary offer in M'sia. 1st type: With basic around 1.2-2.3k MYR + commission. 2nd type, company just cover ur transport allowance + commission with no basic salary offer. 3rd type, company hire you as "direct sales", which mean you are consider as "outsider/ outsource you to find more customers" so you're not entitle for any allowance and basic salary! Your income just depends on your commission, if only u r able to hit target.

I know your feelings. Coz I've same thinking of you. If you wanna to do sales, u may come back to M'sia. If you possess good sales exp, I believe that you can earns the amount that you want in M'sia. It is hard to get a good job in sg nowadays. Unless, engineering, accounting, sales jobs. If you flip sg newspaper recruitment, for sure, u will notice it. And, You also can found many opening in these three fields vacancies in M'sia too.

That is actually a bit below average liao. Lots of elites in this thread just talk bullsh*t about earning 1.6k la, $900 la, but actually most of them below 30 but already earning huge bucks. Off hand I know in this thread got 1. Elite O&G member who works 12 days a month, raise 2 kids in own HDB and wife can afford to be tai tai, 2. Elite SIA pilot 3. Elite banker at stanchart who pay more tax than fresh grad earn 4. Elite Louis Vutton director who got tons of private property in JB 5. Elite shell contractor who own Panerai and other luxury watches 6. Elite CFO seantang who got multiple private property in Singapore 7. Elite HSBC Relationship Manager with 5 digit monthly salary.

All elites but #1 in keeping low profile, salute!

Lol senior and junior you two can hug each other now. We used to have TTSS BBQ gathering during the uni time. Lost contact with them after working.

Oh... Lucky her. But, u hv to determine how many years accounting exp she has work in SG and M'sia. What position she hold in a company. What type of company / industry she is currently wotking? 5 years ago sg economy is good. Now is different story!... My friend graduated from local univeristy with degree work as engineer with 1yr experience in M'sia jump to SG for 7-8 year ago. His starting salary is 3.5K SGD as engineer post in SG! Another friend hold Master degree from UK with 2 yrs enginering experiences in M'sia jump to SG 2 years ago. His starting salary only 2.8K!... The interviewers still says 2.8K SGD is consider very good offer to foreigners and they don't offer so high salary to degree holder! They are using the bad economy as a reason to persuade him to accept the job!... See the different?

Don't be so bad la, deflate or inflate the income until not realistic, misleading for those who sincerely looking for jobs.

Thanks for your information. Last time, it is hard to get a job in sg without quota. Nowadays, more worst with quota. The chances will become even lower!.... Sigh...

just ignored those who rants a lot about others but himself, and you will be fine.

may i know how long does it take to get the work permit?

ok i got the info wrong, i just asked her. its 5k sgd coz she just got her cert from england i dunno what but same standard with acca.

now she is in pharmaceutical unlike last time.

care to show me where is the IT support job? I need to earn more so that I can give more to my parents.

come lah ...dunt wait

yups ....

now prayin hard

interview at changi that side ... but stay in JB

JB to Changi ? That's pretty far. Which part of JB ? by bike ?

Want to ask if the interviewer ask u the reason for leaving your last company and you say kena retrench, izzit a negative thing? Will the employer tell u "izzit becuase u cannot perform therefore retrench you?"

Just say the retrenchment was a complete downsizing exercise to save the company costs, and they let XYZ number of staff go on the day. Say it was last in first out if you like.

if you are highly paid, just say the top always get chopped cos of the salary we command
wakakaka!

just jokin

yes , its always a negative thing but manufacturing line is like that ...
force also no use.

this is perfect reply

too bad for me ...more like under paid
