Usually direct hire is easier. Grad program I am not sure.

I can tell you straight up it is better you try working first at MY. Build some experience first.

If you die also want to come to SG, then you have to apply locally. Higher chances.

zzz... they both almost the same. If you stay near the sea then it can be a a bit cooler during the afternoon.

There are few EP category, it is based on salary range. But I am not sure if employers will use EP for fresh graduate.

i would like to ask ah..i'm earning below 2.5k but yet i got EP..is EP supposed to be same as S Pass? if it's S Pass, should it be indicated in my pass card ka?

Graduate schemes are relatively uncommon in Singapore so your best bet of securing a job is through a direct hire.

Have a look! An EP is definitely different from an S Pass.

for small company i guess.

Shhhh... better don't let the locals see this.

arent you a local already?

oh that means i got EP but EP has many grades? hehe

hey guys..do u know what is the exchange rate to MYR today ?

Yeah, Singapore is so packed with different companies, many of them might operate like they do in Malaysia - small staff count and not a lot of HR or admin, and so a grad scheme is too much unnecessary hassle.

But in certain industries even if they are only hiring one or two grads the whole year, it is done through a grad scheme. For big multinationals it can also be done via overseas hiring. It's really easy to miss... and with these things you never know.

Normal direct hires (in similar or related industries) would only pop up if there is a real and very urgent business need. Otherwise it's so competitive there's no need to advertise, they can fill it at the snap of the fingers.

Ya already screen shot, print out and pass to my MP during meet the MP session. Now writing in Stomp and EDMW to demand answer. They took our jobsss

Trying to apply PR, have all documents ready. Log in to eAppointment and walao all i see is grey boxes. I cant even book anything. How u guys get appointment?

btw, for those already in SG, lets say if i want to subscribe to an home broadband for my own use since the wifi signal to my util room is horribly bad, S-pass holder can subscribe without paying deposit, and is it actually advisable to do so?
