It seems sg had tighter restrictions in foreign worker
Its hard to look for job now in sg?

Graduates means the section of the Singaporean workforce who are degree holders. To discern them from non-graduate Poly diploma/ITE holders and skilled/unskilled labourers.

If I remember correctly, Singstat puts the average salary of degree holders in Singapore at around $7K.

hi all..
Currently i have an offering from MNC bank in SG to work for them.
It's a big decision, since i need to downgrade and become Sys Admin. The salary is ok but need to work on shift plus every weekend.

Can i survive with 8k salary in SG?, as im not a PR & there no CPF.
Or should i move near J.B?

These people dont know how bad the economy is now. Tell them dam lucky got job that pays your bills.

Single room. Day day chap fan. Walk to work. Entertainment is overloaded work.

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

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?

Hi, I just joined a company in SG, it's my first job in SG. But, I think it's not the right one for me, so I'm looking for a new job.
I plan not to list out this short working experience on my résumé, and tell the interviewer that I've never work in SG.

My problem is, will my future employer find out when they apply working visa for me?
Pls help, thanks

Just becoz you lied to your employer, why should mom be concerned?

Does omission of information in your CV qualifies you as "lying" if everything you state in your CV is accurate and true?

How can you lie about something when you never state it in the document in the first place?

Does MoM check previous employment history for all applicants? or is it on a request basis?

And that's why I'm spending almost 6k yearly for insurance plans..

Meanwhile be Sg citiZen get HDB then save for a private property before retire then get out of Sg and enjoy the rent from both properties

Hi all, i knew there's thread exist about working in SG and am taking time to read through it. But i still want to get more information by asking on my own thread so it won't derail much and hopeful that i get the most out of it.

I recently broke up with my gf of 7 years and with that i want to move on and start over in SG. Looking for job now. but planning to move there even before i get an offer.

Why? well think it might help fasten my application/interview if i were already reside in SG. do you think so? <-- help me answer this ya

Financially i am okay. (i think) had some saving that could support me for atleast a year jobless. and i do earn interest here and there and a rental yield.
Deduct my mortgage & hire purchase and i am left with cash around SGD 2K monthly.

Now my question begin, help me answer please  i'll add whenever i have new one in mind.

1. How much does the rent for studio apartment/ bachelor pad in SG on average monthly? i want to stay alone. (recommend me a place)
2. I need internet, mobile etc, how to do that
3. Can i use my car in SG for extended period of time? I have a 5 years old E92 that i'm planning to bring over if POSSIBLE (if not possible, will sell it)
4. While waiting for better placement, do you think working as Real Estate Negotiator might help?
5. I was planning to limit my expenses to SGD 3k monthly until i get a job, is that enough?

Thank you all.

Hmm, I have heard of cases like this happen in Australia. Not sure about Sg. Don't be fooled by some HR tho. They can say any bs if they want to pay you low. I've been told before by some HR that their company (MNC btw) pay according to CGPA results for fresh grad. So if it's high CGPA, get high salary..if get a lower CGPA then you get paid lower. I don't think there's such a thing as I believe they have a fixed salary scale for certain positions. Correct me if I'm wrong.

got offer 1.6 for degree fresh grad acc, too low?

Sales position? Such as? I'm applying sales position as well, but not personal banker or mortgage from bank only.. Is it investment holding company also difficult to enter?

I was also thinking of getting into banking sales, in fact i have attended an interview here and failed miserably due to my insignificant resume.  If i am in KL, i think i can get into any major banks without any problem based on my experience but it is a different ball game in Singapore. 

First, banking jobs in Sg is the upper sales jobs second only to trading firms, so you are fighting a place with the Singaporeans whom are hassle free applicant and protected species of Sg that will contribute to their singapore % workers.

Second, you will need to fight the pinoys whom are superior in telemarketing and very good looking.  Looks count in sales.

And last but not least almost any position in Singapore have a lot of applicants.  To be chosen you need to stand out from the rest, so you have to pull out all your ace cards right from the beginning.

the moment i walked out from the interview room i met the next applicant whom are pinoy guy with look so good i wondering why is he applying for a sales job, he is so confident that he smile at me and actually shake my hand wishing me good luck.  Damn, i know i wont be getting the call that night.

*this is entirely my personal thinking and in no way backed by actual data btw banking is not a rosy industry now if you are targeting mortgage, loans and credit cards.
