Sales position? Such as? I'm applying sales position as well, but not personal banker or mortgage from bank only.. Is it investment holding company also difficult to enter?

I think deodorant wanted to say your offered pay is too low for SG standard. Anyway, just go ahead with you think is right for you. Everybody has to start some where. Good luck.

Let this junior banking officer answer your question. No its not about PR or non-PR issue. Its about your CV and stuff, and probably your little advertisement there. The HR probably googled you and saw that. You are not allowed to do so right IIRC to the act.

I see, about my CV meaning to said that my CV is not attractive enough?Lol , please guide me how to create a chance for the HR view me and shortlisted me . I wish to go SG work by this year, and you are a banker in SG? Any ways to help me get into bank? I don't mind sending you my resume

imo... you dun need to be the top 5%.. u just need to be above average.. and the rest is of luck already..

anyway.. good luck

Please do lowball the market's salary in Singapore and demand more!!!!!

Mortgage banker no good meh?
I always see them sitting in showroom waiting for durian to drop.

Lol, I wish to learn more instead of getting salary for nothing..Haha..

wat r u going to do in a investment holding coy?

junior? i didnt know senior vp is a junior position... ppffttt

top 30% and top 5% lucky maybe

lol ya, for a certain airline.

I thought you fresh grad with that sgd2.8k offer. Degree holder 4 year exp why are you bothering with an sgd2.8k job? That is like entry level salary. If you say it's ok I put one foot in the door first then build my career up from there ... SG is more competitive than MY. Are you very very sure that you'll be able to compete, considering the fact that you're unable to get a job offer commensurate with your qualifications/experience?



Grass isn't as green liao, for banks in particular and 'SG hiring foreigners' as a whole. With the whole sinkie noise level agains foreigners "stealing their jobs" rising, and banks cutting jobs left right and centre or moving them to cheaper places like India and KL ... well, it's not impossible but definitely harder to get yourself in here without any lubang or any special skillset that isn't readily available among 1. the local SG people 2. the indians who are masters at selling themselves and 3. the other SEA countries willing to work for much less than any of us.

Hi, I heard of this also.

That why I'm trying to look some lobang to get into bank jobs, do you think if I internal transfer from Malaysia to Singapore would be easier?

Agree. You are in Teledirect now?

Yes, internal transfer would be easier else you can ask your friend who work in bank refer you. I was a mortgage sales before. I try to apply banking industry here but is quite difficult. However, i dont put it top priority because it is very stressful.

I was once a collection officer in bank and served SG customers. I bet you will...
Anyway, keep on sending and dont give up.

Yeah, I keep on sending the application now. Actually, internal transfer I doubt that will alert Malaysia HR that knowing I'm moving over to Singapore. Haha, that why I trying to avoid internal transfer first.

However, I'm start looking at investment company / bank right now. In google, it appears too much of foreign bank (I mean not Singapore investment).

Can't help you... Ask the other big boss here he more connected and say.

No problem, I'll wait to see any big boss here can helps me out or not. Haha, save me from Malaysia

Somehow I thank god I got a good landlord. ^^

Meeting for offshore and shipyard supervisor before any work is done. Is done every day to prevent accidents due to hot work, cutting, blasting....

I will try to look when I am settled down here. As for now I am getting along with my landlord very well. No complains except for the no cooking rule. Sigh.
