Actually... Any recommended headhunter? Always see headhunter headhunter (although I got recruited through headhunter actually but different case because this one only advertise this job, unlike other headhunter you send them resume they give you multiple jobs that you can go for interview) but don't actually know how to engage one.

Not for present use. It's for future use. Survey first

Ya... I don't really sick also. Even sick also like one whole night rest then normally recover d. But once in few months sure ulcer once la. That's not really "sick" though.

Anyway... Since it's the MOM guideline for them, follow lo. Again... 3 months just about to pass already. Now already 27. 3 more days only.

OT wise... If you read in the website I posted, OT doesn't apply to PMEs (professionals whatever whatever) but employer have to grant off-in lieu to compensate. Public holiday I sure don't work la. If forced to work for a couple of hours when I'm free maybe I still close one eye. If forced to work for a whole day when I'm free, maybe can ask for off-in lieu in off peak period. I can accept that. If forced to work when I have planned activities for that holiday, no way!! But most companies also know one la... They won't challenge MOM rules in their face gua.

$8 or something? If you want with internet, need to have at least $7 inside then can get 1GB 7 day plan.

So either you buy the cheapest sim card and top up or straight get the $15 or higher price one.


Btw... Just to give more details.

On prepaid, outgoing and incoming calls are both charged at same rate. $0.16 on peak (8am - 8pm on weekday) otherwise $0.08 off peak. Consider this when choosing the value to top up. How often do you expect to make calls etc. Don't run out of credit whilst on a call Minimum top up is $10.

I think SGD 8 to 10 bucks to get a started pack. reload about SGD 10 bucks just in case. I rarely use prepaid as I was offered company line.

Hi, I presume you are from Johor City since you mentioned JB. If so, you can take either the yellow bus (CW bus) from there to SG, and alight at Kranji MRT. Alternatively, you can take bus 170 (SG bus). Ask around if you ain't sure at the custom there.

From Kranji MRT, you can take the train to Jurong East, then transit to Joon Koon Station and alight (you will need an ezlink card for this, can be bought at the counter or nearby 7/11). Take cabs to the destination from Joon Koon station.

However, if you are coming to SG from Nusajaya/ Bukit Indah or somewhere near to 2nd link, you can take the CW bus from Giant at bukit indah (CW 3 to Jurong East or CW 6 to Boon Lay). From Giant, just hop to any of the CW buses to SG, as u can switch the bus to either CW 3 or CW 6 after u pass the SG immigration. I will advise you to take the CW 6 bus from there, and alight at Boon Lay then take cab from Boon Lay to your destination.

Hope the above helps.

thank you.....actually i will came from petaling jaya to singapore thr.....

You could try Aeroline or First Coach. Their buses depart from 1 Utama and takes you into Singapore seamlessly!

hello all!

Could you guys help me with a query? Say if I would like to rent a new place starting 12th of January, when do you guys think I should start looking?

I plan to use a full week starting from the 8 December to look for the place. Would it be sufficient?

Thank you in advance!

To get a room to stay won't be a problem. Just the matter of rental only. Even if you start finding at the beginning of January I don't think will have any issue. If you're personally here to find a room then even less trouble. Just engage agents and make appointments to view rooms at the area you're looking at. Viewing rooms just the matter of a day or two. If fit your requirement then pay deposit lo. After that sign tenant agreement, pay first month rental, agent fee etc.

But no harm to come here and get a room earlier la. Can go around try the public transport and explore your work place + the place you stay. Maybe can try how's the traffic by going to your workplace and see what time you have to depart from home etc.

Although this is my advice, I haven't done that before I came here 3 months ago

i came down with my wife 4 years ago during one long weekend to find a room
so we basically went looking and concluded in 1.5 days
we made the necessary appointments all while still in MY
just leave some buffer in between

Thanks for the advice! Early this year, I was lucky to get a room of my liking only after one viewing (amongst 5 or 6 viewings booked)! Of course, the latter is quite uncommon so I was wondering how long it took others to look for one.

I know what you mean! Early this year, I booked all my viewings within a week in Malaysia, pop into Singapore for my first viewing and decided to rent the place there and then. However, I recognise that my situation then might have been uncommon. I suppose not given your case!

Thank you for your advice! I am just trying to figure out if there's anything i can do to better my chances in applying for a job in singapore, because I received rejections already, and this despite a Masters degree and overseas experience. I would have to retain my JB address in my cv, because i dont know anyone in spore tht i can use their address, but i shall purchase a singapore pre-paid soon.

I have heard of Job Bank. Are only locals allowed to apply in tht website? What about still applying to them but not through Job Bank, but straight to the advertised company?

Guys, what's your working hours average, per week, regardless of in or out of office.

Do you spare yourself some time for own leisure / work out time/ family time , in spite of the whole world is chasing you for their part to be done?

I think this probably a million dollars question.

Headhunter? Sometimes they have better jalan to get better offer for you. You get better offer = they get more agent fee mah

You can still apply. But if they haven't posted the post offered to you (assuming that you got the offer), you'll have to wait quite a while for them to apply EP for you due to Fair Consideration Framework. They have to fulfil requirements before they can employ you. Unless you're elite that takes home 12k or 20k/month la

But so many nice jobs from Jobs Bank. I wonder if they would entertain foreigners (ie Malaysian) for the role? or simply a waste of time for me to apply.

Any recommendation for good head hunter/recruitment agencies in Singapore? I am in IT Strategy/Service Management

No no the job bank for locals to apply. There you will know your chances of getting that job. Is not a 100% thing but you will get an idea. Like i have said, apply through head hunter website. Copy and paste the job title at job bank and compare your chances againts the local.

2 cents question. You just have to finish your tasks at your working hours. No more, no less. My contract is 35 hours per week, including 2 hours lunch break per day , I go home on time at 5. If I flying home on Friday morning, I stay back until 6 the other days in that week to offset my unofficial leave and get things done before I leave. My family time and personal time after working hours are very expensive, my boss can't afford to pay me so no OT for me.

Hi, want to ask, when first moving to SG for work, what are the things we should bring over and what should we buy over there in SG ?

I will be renting and was wondering if the cost of many small things like bedding, sheet, hangers, kettle etc etc etc have a noticeable price diff ?

Currently bringing cloths, documents, electronics, light toiletries only.

If you are bringing your old stuff then its ok. If you are buying new stuff from Malaysia and bringing over, price differences are not that big to justify the extra weight and hassle especially during the first entry where your luggage will be bulky. Just bring enough like you are going for 2-3 days business trips, other things can be bought easily in SG.

Erm... When you first arrive here and go to supermarket and buy things. 100% guarantee you will convert it in your head then you'll hesitate to buy them. It gets better after few weeks.

Most things can be gotten cheaper from M'sia. But again it depends on how you come here. If your family drive you here right to your rented place, just bring everything as long as it's not illegal to bring into singapore la. If you take bus or plane, then depends on how much you can take lo. If can't take don't force yourself to take also mah.

For groceries, look for Fairprice. There's one fairprice is about every neighbourhood. Price is alright. I find giant supermarket more expensive. Giant hyper then only can be same or cheaper..

as long as not PR/singaporeon, still subject to MOM
The employer still have to submit the application to MOM, and if they reject then GG.
However in most of the case won't get rejected, the concern is only getting what pass

first of all, which part of Msia u're from? Can you travel back frequently?

bedding sheet house owner no supply?
I will say what you bought down is sufficient..
Perhaps some SGD as well...
