Yeah no doubts he is good. Just that he really talks alot. lol.

I'm finally moving out of audit. *yay*

Visit friends?

2 weeks is the same length as annual leave.

I will stay at my auntie house.

so finding job its not a good excuse?

Me.. But i drove into SG. The customs officer did ask about my desktop i just said it's a used desktop and they didn't bother much.

You feel bad about not telling the truth? Staying at auntie's house = will see your auntie = visiting mah. Anyway, if i were you, i will avoid all the unnecessary hassle. People already limiting influx of foreigners yet you still wanna tell people yes, i'm one of them hunting for jobs in your country.

Immigration is strict about people jumping planes.

If you dont get a job, there is a chance that you might be desperate to settle down at Singapore. That is what immigration is worried about.

Visiting someone will help loosen things up a little on thier side. In the end of the day, who cares if you are really looking for a proper job on a 14 days pass. If they saw why so long just say it is your annual leave and you are close to that aunt since childhood days.

Come the time when you get the job, just say, "oh during my holiday here my aunt knew someone in the company looking for XXXX role in the company. They saw my experience and was interested to interview me. Got the job after interview." End of story.

Sometimes, too much honesty is good. Only with family. In business world, a little grey is always good.

Of course dont tell your real details here. People can report you. The beauty of the internet is everyone has the same face, name and sex.

well said

Anybody knows if it's possible to rent short term in Sg? I've been scouting online and realize that most rooms have contract minimum 6 months. I'm not sure if I' m able to commit 6 months to that room since I can't guarantee if I am able to find myself a job in sg. So, if anybody here have any relatives or friends who have got an extra room or space and willing to rent short term to me in sg, please let me know. I don't have many requirements for the room just that it should be tidy and clean, that's the basics.

yay into?


not allowed in gov housing/hdb... as for private, it has to be on commercial land if i had not mistaken for short term

what's your budget?

Gonna go into financial reporting/accounting
But at least it's better life (hopefully)

I got an offer with 3k plus 80 phone allowance in IT field.
Myself is around 10 experience on the field with some certificates. Is the offer ok?

Wah dont think that is a good offer for 10 years experience.

waynefly
your description is very generic for IT field. is it pc/desktop support?
if the offer is 1:1 to your malaysia pay, then looks ok but different people have different spending habits.

ThanatosSwiftfire financial report does not have crunch time during financial year end?

I'm server infrastructure solution engineer.

You don't have many requirements but the government has many requirements on rental of residential units.

For residential, private or government, 6 months is the minimum by law to rent. I don't think you can stay in SG for 6 months also due to immigration. Your only choice are friends' place, hotel and landlords that try to make quick bucks while ignoring the law.

thanks for all the input

but of course will stay with my auntie and visiting my grandfather.

Well, I don't know, but after that many years it's about time I get some commercial experience, instead of being holed up thinking I'm all high and mighty in an audit firm. (besides, it's a dead end road.. better walk before the pay gets too high and I can't accept a paycut)

I see! I suppose I can't look for accommodation yet since I have yet to receive my IPA. Thanks for the headsup!

Are you starting a job in Singapore soon? I think it is a good idea for one to look for a temporary accommodation before actually settling for a long term one. The thing is, I cannot even start looking since I do not know where my work place is, apart from the fact that it is within the country!
