Hey all, i'm a fresh grad in mechanical engineering from MY and looking for a job in SG but have applied through JobStreet for nearly 2 months and have no response so far... do you think something wrong somewhere?

TQ

Strongly agree... we will never ever get back our youth...

Yes something is very wrong. Those imbeciles singaporean employers don't know what they are doing. They are idiots coz they don't recognise talent like yours and are downright rude with no reply in 2 months. In fact they should reply no more than 24 hours to just hand you the job no question asked........singapore has some pretty stupid employers...sheesh...

1. Look at your own resume, review/verify/update it against general guidelines of resumes from the Internet
2. Go through more job portals and ads (even old stuff like newspapers), and consider coming down to SG to go to the headhunters/agents to do face-to-face meet ups
3. Keep trying and keep waiting, sometimes you just gotta wait a bit and see.

Can ar... don't ask me how... I also duno...
Maybe my company is gov's subsidiary company...


With E-pass can we work as part time or freelance?

hi.. i assume you have a degree, in that case is abit low..

u can bargain with the company about ur CPF which some company reimburse in a way into the basic company.. but it really depends..

and in the end, is how bad you wanted to go work at Singapore, you can take this as a stepping stones, then jump to other job after 1 / 2 years, apply PR and jump again..

you got to make the decision, no one can decide for you..

Send ur CV/resume to me. got plenty of opening, jsut not sure if it suits u or u suit them

Have been living that lifestyle for few years now. Don't feel comfortable having good life served by waitress in restaurants. HDB hawkers more down to earth and warming . Youtube, TVB drama. CC opposite house, hit badminton, gym with 3 dollar. Then weekend cycle to library enjoy aircon and books. Ok ma.

Actually what is the recommended life? 9-5 and then what people do at night ah? Go out and spend money?

saw on easyroomate. not sure about the details. 1k to rent surely out of my budget because i dont even pay that much for rent, is silly.

I know a few relatives that want to rent out at the same price as well for the whole unit.

when i was shifting earlier this year i went for this, can get 3g modem (usb) as well https://www.m1.com.sg/Personal/mobile-broad...repaidBroadband i'm sure the other two telco's also have something similar.

otherwise you can just do data tethering on your mobile phone mah.

Not allowed by law.


1k for whole unit? impossibru.jpg

in your own post you already said own room is '500-700,' if whole unit assuming 2 bedrooms mana mungkin only 1k?

Just for reference, I'm currently renting my 3room flat for 2.2k.

Sacarstic

Go geylang

Thanks for the reply and that is also my concern if putting too high.
If can get around 3.5k , I am satisfied already =)
By the way, how do u think about the IT in Singapore? Lots of competition? And are there lots of India and china people with better experience but asking for lower pay ruining the market??

Thanks.

Anybody here stay in a condo?

Wondering what is the market rate to rent whole a 3 bedroom unit.

When you apply for EP, do you submit a certified true copy of your education certificates or is it not required (to get it certified as true copy)? Thanks.

There are demands for java developer in Singapore. Even though there are lots of Indian (from India) and Chinese (from China) are competing but Malaysian is still preferred by Singapore. You just need time to look for correct employer. Malaysian is easier to get work permit (EP, S-Pass, etc) compare to other neighbour country. Anyway, don't worry about that. Just prepare your resume nicely, search for suitable company and be prepared for interview.
