nop... because i work for main con all the while

I got a call from a sg number thought might be something. Ended up that guy called for a position in Shah Alam. Trollmax

i salute the ppl who travel back n forth from JB to sg to work...

it takes up most of their time.. so i think basically it means very little time to ownself... but mainly its because they are from jb.. so prefer to stay at home... n could save some from the expensive rental in sg...

Hey guys, can I know how u guys normally find a job in Sg?
I've tried jobstreet, but so far there's no reply.

anybody staying in JB can get me straights time newspaper?

or anyone here read straights time

If you're right then my company should be paying according to the current market rate that has been complied and published by MOM. So, am I not right to say that the HR should pay according to the wage range published by MOM, which was based on the average wage range of companies, assuming they are statistically significant ? 

I have a question about pay.

I currently earn around RM 4,800 not including benefits. I'm seriously contemplating a move to Singapore. However when I set a considerate SGD4,000 negotiable (This is to ensure a Q1 pass), most companies get a little shocked.

Do Malaysians have to sacrifice a pay cut in order to get a working permit? Or are we just seen as cheap labour to them?

THe salary range I picked from is actually below market value for a Advertising Executive with over 6 years experience.

Lowyat Guru, please advise 

- It's about market supply/demand, qualification and luck. I got 7% increase before conversion when I moved here. Perhaps I was already underpay in Msia.
- My employer contacted me through my profile/phone no. uploaded on Monster

Not sure what's your profession but I heard petrol pump attendant job benefit and prospect are quite good in Singapore. I'm eager to explore the possibility if opportunity arises. Any lubang anyone?

ooo i want lubang too..hahahaha..

gambate ya. i sent almost 50 job applications to sg but still no news yet. keep on sending haha

using tuas or woodland to singapre road better?

Can anyone provide me the requirement and procedure to apply for Singapore PR?

Anyone looking for a room?
I have a master bedroom with attached bath in a fairly new flat for rent in Toa Payoh. Fully furnished and walking distance to Toa Payoh MRT.
No agent fees and no landlord so u have complete privacy and freedom.
PM or email me userguy@yahoo.com if interested.

Oh they don't? I was thinking of signing up with a postpaid data plan, the one that comes together with smartphone. I need it so that I have an approved residential address statement to show to the bank as I'm planning to open one. Not too sure how it works but banks here want me to show my phone bill as prove of my residential address.

too bad she is real Chinese...
are Malaysian in demand in SG?

Looking for common room in Joo Koon area...

I was in your shoes 2 1/2 years ago. Some facts about myself:
1) MY citizen
2) AU fresh graduate, not from a Go8
3) Not SG PR
4) Invited to undertake the honours year program
5) Applied to SG positions with MY phone number & address (run of the mill resume - nothing outstanding) - received few calls, 2 interviews
6) Sought help from some people here (but was rightfully ignored because I wasn't doing enough for myself) and attempted multiple routes e.g. tourist visa + local newspaper, job boards etc.

Not a lot of developments until I refined my resume (this includes understanding the mechanics of the headhunting process e.g. what drives a headhunter/hiring manager/HR, what turns him/her off, what sort of dialing tone he/she receives if I'm overseas/or in SG etc) & repackaged myself (and applied for very niche roles) - I accentuated the fact that I had some personal but substantial money-making stuff (that was directly relevant to the jobs I was applying for) going on during my university years, my nationality and the languages I speak. The latter strategy is a particularly important one because SG is a regional hub for many companies. Like many of our compatriots, I used to think that the Malay language was an absolutely useless language with no economic value but I came to realise that in this rapidly growing part of the world, the Malay Archipelago, half of us (that's roughly 300m people) speak Malay, be it Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa Indonesia or others. Others are picking up Mandarin because it's the Chinese century but I figured if I were to follow the herd, I'd be extremely below average especially in a country where cabbies hold Stanford degrees etc.

I struck gold with these two changes and landed quite a few interviews. The rest as they say is history.

I applied two very useful mantras to my job search process:
1) Forget about what the doom mongers say. Sure the SG gov tightened some laws, but chances are the statistics these doom mongers peddle are irrelevant because of their macro nature. You'll still be able to find a couple of rapidly growing segments within mature industries. Or sunrise industries.
2) Simple but effective advice - get a game plan and differentiate yourself.

Good luck!

Malaysia documents are accepted in SG regardless of what language they are in.
I submitted a polis report from Malaysia last time when I lost my IC, they happily accept it and get a Malay officer to process it.

Working in singapore is fun !!

but malaysia document got jawi 1 ar?..

Chap fan is around 3 to 3.50, chap noodles around 2 to 2.50. Go do your maths. With 2k you will have a hard time in SG, but still can save depending on your lifestyle. Don't come if you don't see your salary will raise substantially in few years time. You won't be so lucky to be free of commitment for long. SG gets expensive the older you grow.

I am planning to start over in Sgpore soon. I will start applying jobs in the coming months. Only have Diploma in IT but have several experience and am currently working in an IT company. Any advice for people like me?

since ppl were sharing about their rent.

my previous rent was $530, small single room at the back and everything is included @ toapayoh.

my rent now is $350, the same small single room at the back with no furniture. nothing. just water heater. no washing machine as well.

but i save a lot and my office is just across the street. so i saved transport too. still at toa payoh.

Mine $600 at pioneer, my heart pain every month when i pay rent
