Just applied to around 50 companies in Singapore. 2 weeks have passed, no reply at all..

I'm an engineering fresh grad. Is it really that hard to get a job in Singapore now? I thought the Fair Consideration Framework will only be implemented starting August 2014..

How long should I continue waiting before I should give up and start applying job in Malaysia?

Or anyone got any lobang for a Materials & Manufacturing Engineering fresh grad??

Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Guys and Girls, I am in need of opinion from all of you.

Recently, I have been to Singapore for a few job interviews. Basically, one company (let's call it Company A) has already offered me a position, but the director told me to best give him a reply within two weeks (that means I have until next Monday 24/2). However, what Company A does is not very related to my major, but it still belongs to the engineering category (i'm an engineering fresh grad). I don't mind to learn from scratch

Now, there's another company (Company B) which I've also applied for. I have done all 3 stages (1st interview, personality assessment, 2nd interview). Company B is very directly related to my field of studies. I am keen to work for this company as I will be able to apply what I've learned in my university. However, upon following up with the deputy director from Company B, I was told they will only be able to give me an answer next week, as the director is now outstation.

What should I do? I don't wanna waste my only confirmed opportunity to work in Singapore, but at the same time, I don't feel like wasting a probable opportunity of working in Company B.

The 2nd interview in Company B went well in my opinion. It lasted for 2 hours and I managed to ask alot of questions. However, when I asked the deputy director what are my chances of getting the job. He only replied, "Equal Chances"

HELLPPP~~~ WHAT SHOULD I DO???? Thanks in advance

Following my post yesterday, I have gotten a job offer in Woodlands

However, another thing starts bugging me now.. Is it probable that my application for a working permit, be it S-pass or E-pass gets rejected by the MOM?

I heard from some that compared to other countries, Malaysians will still likely to succeed in the application. Is it true??

S-pass approved.. flying to Singapore tomorrow! Start work on Monday! Wohoooo !!!!!

Dream company, company B

Thanks !!


My method is a little bit hardcore. I basically printed out a few hard copies of resume, and walked into a few target companies and passed my resume to the guard. However, for this company, the guard asked me to pass to the receptionist.. then the receptionist straight away asked me want to try walk-in interview or not. without any doubts, i said yes. The deputy director of operations interviewed me, and he kinda liked the way I sent my resumes one by one to target companies. After 2nd interview with the director, I got the job

P/S : Sending resumes personally to companies one by one wasn't an easy task... I bruised my feet and got much darker after that... but it's totally worth it !

Thanks

Called DBS yesterday, they said can apply account using IPA.... today went to their branch, they said need the physical card only can...

haiyo......

Wah! really can ah..... can others confirm this? If yes then I go again tomorrow.

to further save in transportation, try to look for a place very close to your office. Best if it's within walking distance, else look for one where you either need to take bus or MRT only (not both)

I don't have Maybank... And I would still like to get one bank account which ATM machine is abundant. So DBS / POSB / UOB would be my choice. UOB need $1000 deposit @.@ ... Fresh grad mana ada so much $$$$$$$$$$....


The officer in DBS told me that for EP holder, you can use IPA..... but for S-pass, cannot

First day of work tomorrow :S

wish me luck !!

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm going back to KL next thursday night. My flight is 10pm and I'm boarding the plane at Senai airport.

I'm working until 6pm that day. My friend told me that if I were to leave my company (at woodlands) at around 6pm, I might not be able to catch the flight as the custom queue will be very congested.

Question : Is my friend right? What time do you think I should leave my company in order to be able to catch the flight at senai airport without being too rush.

Bus and MRT... taxi if needed...

Guys and girls, thanks alot for your feedbacks!

After some consideration, I have asked from my boss to leave 2 hours earlier this thursday
