Grab a job first....think later...some say they come here lap table and pump petrol first....

Do headhunters/employers like to see SG address and phone number before they continue reading the resume?

I heard from my Singaporean uncle that the government just announced certain change in its policies so jobs must be offered to Singaporeans before foreigners. Is it true? or when will it be effective?

yes ,Jan 1st 2014. Everyone job must offered to Singaporean on the job for 14 days first on MOM job board before offered to foreigner.

I've made several application. Few application thru recruitment firm got a reply as below, the rest no news at all.

"...In order to conduct timely interviews, this job is suitable for candidates who currently live in the country where the role is based, and who have the right to work there. We are sorry to advise that for this reason, we are unable to proceed further with your application...."

Is that normal reason they reject? or they need those ppl already stay in sg?
Maybe now is not the right timing, due to off peak and Sg gov strengthen the rules. 

How you guys apply job? mind to share? How to know they will consider Malaysian?

Hi I was wondering as a Malaysian studying at Hong Kong for university, is that possible for me to apply for jobs in Singapore? (MNC)

Are you a fresh grad? No grad? Got work exp? Are you desperate to get a foothold here?

I only have a few months of working experience (7 months to be precise). Quite despo
So is the avg salary 2k or am I being underpaid? Do they give lower salaries to Malaysian?

Figures seem to start at 2.8k onwards. So you decide lor whether you're despo enough to come over on 2k knowing that the average SG Uni graduate gets a full 40-50% more.

yes ,Jan 1st 2014. Everyone job must offered to Singaporean on the job for 14 days first on MOM job board before offered to foreigner.

Does this affect pr too?

can anyone enlighten me on this?

Depend on the type of work you do, you may be required to work at odd hours, midnight, early morning so you can have an online meeting with your colleague overseas. Don't worry about their sleep and life, its always you staying up for the online meeting. And your local boss expect you to come to work at 9am the following day to have a meeting about your meeting yesterday night. Working hour is long, very long but I think you will do ok coming from engineering, 24 hour contactable, forget about movies, concerts and gatherings.

Boss comment on the brand of your dress, bags, the car you driving, even the place you stay so to paint a picture to outsiders they are doing very well to attract more talented people into the industry and also to their clients.

These are what I gathered from my coursemates who worked at ang moh investment banks, one of which one of my very good friend from uni so I don't think she is hiding or boasting anything. Went for one US IB before graduate just to see what they will be offering and partly due to peer pressure but never take up the offer, but still end up working in bank . Bankers look good if you look at the money side. I don't get satisfaction doing my work, its feel like only helping the rich getting richer. Want to do something more meaningful like doctor, dentist or engineer, maybe nurse too helping those who really needed it.
