They dont really look at the result. They prefers to look at your achievements..
You meant if 4.8k in Malaysia, can try to negotiate to 4k++ SGD? erm.. any recommended ways? LOL.

"I prefer to get 4k and above as what I currently being offer in Malaysia. Dont talk to me about currency of the rate of conversion as the living expenses here (sg) are much higher than in KL. ".. lol..

achievement? means i have to work in malaysia 1st lo.. because i just fresh graduate.

He means if you are earning rm4.8k, you should be able to get a job that pays sgd4k and above. Not asking a company to pay you sgd4k for a job that only pays 3k.

Look at your gpa first if you are fresh graduate, then your achievements like book prize, awards and medals those kind of thing. I think my CAP help a lot in getting my first job here after graduate, after that people don't even ask where I graduated from... So sad.

since u are fresh grad, they won't be too harsh on you. It's very subjective actually.. Some companies will oni invite those with above 3.0 CGPA for interview.
Some they don't really bother about your CGPA, they treat all fresh graduates the same way.
They won't hire people with 4 pointer but incompetent when doing hands on.. If you are planning to work in SG, well, just apply all the companies that you are interested and wait for them to call you up.
In order to being called up, learn how to make simple and good resume. That's the first medium between you and your potential employer.

In university, don't just too focus in the exam for good grade or result. Example, most of my frens graduated with first class, but I just a ordinary second class. I got awards for several exhibitions with gold award and a patent that still pending. Not what lecturer ask u do what then you follow and do. I proposed my project and convince my lecturer. I am not the best but I will do my best. If not, u will be the first class graduate or ordinary graduate. Try to excel yourself in uni life and interviewer will be able to convince by u. Good luck and work hard during uni lifep

HI all, i have just graduated college from a university in the US and i am planning to apply for a job in Singapore. However, friends who graduated overseas told me that they all had a hard time getting a job there and eventually went back to Malaysia. Can someone enlighten me on this? How difficult is it to get a job in Singapore for a fresh graduate? I heard that the Sngaporean government has now a policy on limiting the intake of foreigners into the job market. How true is that? Thank you in advance!
