Yep, better call MOM.

those can be obtained just by requesting before hand for the person to provide during interview.
in the end, the company still have all the details required

Probably... though I wonder why would anyone provide scanned copy of their passport for interviews. Also, there're questions that he/she needs to answer in the application form. So I still find it impossible that the person does not know or did not give consent. I've been through the process twice this year.

Wah so no system one meh.

no one here working with SingTel or StarHub? I have phone interview coming with StarHub but not sure how the environment there.

Another qestion

My friend received offer from a company in SG but they asked her to fill out the visa form first then only sign for the offer letter. Is that how it works? What if she not agree with the offer letter? Visa can be canceled without any issue?

i have the deposit receipt. if she only want to return partial deposit, claim loss due to ants infiltrating her house?

No co will apply mom if you didn't give your nod or indication to accept an offer! Need not sign any letter of offer in this case. Co also have debarment points criteria to answer mom for withdrawal. Let you know co wont do withdrawal midway, if mom reject app then case closed. If iPa issued, just wait till it lapsed with remark by co> applicant not reachable or decline offer. Either note, it will be in mom system. You can fight your case that you didn't accept offer in the first place till the moon rains. If some pepper and salt added to the remarks, you will not know at all. You can ask around many cant tell why my app just keep rejected.

she cant just claim loss due to ants, that's punitive... she have to give you the option to do something to clear the ant prob, either hire a pest control coy or u eradicate it urself... only if you dont want then she can hire services and charge you for it.. explain to her... then go to super market and buy 1 can of insecticide.. spray gao gao

Is the same same mine. I got an offer but apparently for hired professional, mom have to review your friend first based on working experience, education and salary. Yes, the company needs to comply with a certain amount of salary to apply for an EP for professionals. This process is to protect the local graduate from being left out in the hiring process if it is an entry level job.

Dont forget EP visa is sponsored by the company. If the company/employee pulls out, the EP visa will be invalid/cancelled (it takes 7 working days for online), if i am not mistaken. That same goes if your friend wants to switch to a different company from her previous company that sponsored her EP. This is to protect the company from being used as a EP visa provider. Her new company needs to be her new EP visa employer.

I got a friend that worked for SingTel. As far I know, SingTel is not doing too well in business wise for their Optus at Australia.

So, not long ago my friend got canned at SingTel this year. Many people say that Singapore is learning what Australia Telstra doing, outsource their jobs to India.

just coming back from interview at Paya Ubi this morning.

I got until tomorrow whether to accept or reject the offer.

Can I survive with $2500 in Singapore ?

So it should be fine to go for visa process first then only read the hard copy of offer letter in Singapore?

How about StarHub?

There's plenty of bus drivers, cleaners, etc on way lower than $2500 and they aren't dying in the streets, so you could definitely survive on that.

thanks for the input.

actually this is junior position although i've got 4yrs experience.

currently working at Indonesia.

is possible to get room less than $500 ?

Sure can survive, $2,500 can do a lot more than just surviving.

May be u don't see it......

Can someone enlighten about salary scale for banking jobs in singapore? thanks
