thanks for replying

SG uses a lot of recruitment agencies, like Oz. Well I can't really understand why, but it's perhaps given me an unfair or understated impression of the job market.

hopefully it's good enough and i get something! and things improve for you!

1st gen no need, great

All Sifu and Dai lou from this forum
I have 2 year experience in Programming field and now feel like wan to transfer to working in SG but I have 2 big question mark in my mind.

b. Salary...hmm..If I got RM3.5k here, will they paid me SGD3.5k? or lower then that?


Thanks..

just want to ask, do we need to give photocopies of our employment pass AND IC when rent a room in HDB?

sound legit, to do a verification check.

Anyone who entered Singapore as a graduate, hope you can help me out with a question (not sure who to ask, I have Sgrean and Msian friends but not Msians who graduated and now work in SG friends)

If you plan to get an EP (I am still in school now) do you need to have graduated already (the big piece of paper at the ceremony, about one month after my exams) or can you get it using a online printed and certified copy of your transcript (showing your name and grades).

Thank you!

Edit: I am not in SG but I guess I could call them from here when the time is right - if they entertain questions like this on the phone

If you mean Singapore IC, then just your IC. If you have an IC - you will no longer have an EP.

Cannot find other work meh? Singapore got some many food operators can't find workers....yet u cannot find work...

isn't there some kind of rule, coffeeshop stall or street hawkers can't employ foreigners

The issue now is the ratio of Singaporeans/PR vs foreigners. The ratio also varies depends on the industry. In addition, there is also another layer of ratio for foreigners from different countries. Malaysians have a higher ratio, being a traditional source of talent.
If you are earning above a certain amount, eg EP passes will need a minimum of SGD3300PM and S-Pass will have to be at least SGD2200pm and with the right experiences and/or qualification from a recognized university, you should not have problems securing this pass. They used to consider only the monthly salary but with the large influx of foreigners with questionable degrees, they have tighten things up and will reject those from un-recognized university even if the salary is high.
If you have any question, I will be happy to help out. PM me

The job market is good for people with skills and experience. For the simple reason that your earning should exceed the amount to qualify for an EP. The issue for many entry level jobs is the ability of your hiring company to secure the approval.
We are looking for network engineers with 5 years experience. Let me know how I can help. Always willing to lend a hand to a fellow Malaysian

Totally agree.. I have interviewed many Malaysians who do not have good command of English, written or spoken. You will be knocked off first even before we get to the skillsets part. Do your homework, send in a well written resume and letter.. no errors. And brush up on your English... the world out there uses English, not BM.
And dress well for an interview.. nails, hair, clothes, shoes... first impression counts a lot. For ladies, dress professionally, not like you are going for a party. ( maybe some companies like it but not ours )

From what I can gather it doesn't affect EP. So I should be fine with these changes, unless new, more drastic changes are up later this year.

Thank you for your offer! I'm actually not in Engineering and I'm still a student.

I hope I can find something and one day, repay all the kindness to the people who have helped me out and also help out the next generation. These days you really need all the help you can get and knowing people helps immensely.

I expect to earn enough to cover the EP even as a graduate, should I be given preference for the position. My only concern is competition with guys that have pqe (though they may need to resign and wait if not taking penalty) or guys who have already graduated.

Basically you need to prove that you have the legal right to live and work in SG

Better to have conferment letter or certification letter of degree completion letter from your school. Transcripts not so direct in showing you have satisfied all the requirements for the degree. IIRC I finished school at Apr/May, still have to wait until June for the conferment letter to apply PR and temp EP then start work.

Hey, thanks so much for sharing

yup, to be 100% safe (I'm not sure what are the consequences if they deem your app incomplete) that might be the way to go

but until i actually get those docs (some weeks away) all i got is the transcript. and the transcript isn't even full (with the final term marks) until 2 weeks later - at that same time i'll get the note that confirms i can graduate (officially i would have graduated at that point, I assume)

so hopefully that works, i've heard that you can apply EP before graduating, and even start working when the EP is submitted (not sure how - is this true?)

might be different for your case as im purely going for EP - but congrats on your PR app

In Singapore, accounting firm look for ACCA only or both ACCA and degree when hiring?

Any opening for Chemical engineers ?
