I went through 2 different company at the same time. Same industrial and same services. Latter company size is like 2 times bigger to the first one.

first one interview me 2 times and offer letter writes some bull shit which is not wat i want, reject. Took like almost a month. Ccb wasting my time.

Second one, sunday i email, monday received call and go for interview, wednesday received offer letter which can meet my request.

Conclusion : interview really depends to your luck

Btw, my first job in sg after graduate, interview through phone oni. Never went down to sg.

Same, first job offer in SG never met, just phone.

Also another MNC in Malaysia, whole interview process is phone only, no video.

Many other companies in Malaysia would not do this. I understand client facing (consulting and certain banking roles) jobs are different but even the rest might not.

weird, my job interview all requires face to face

Yes agree, unless you take bus, then the jam maybe increase your commute time 10-15 mins at most.

Nowadays bikers need to do 100% full inspection hence 90% of the road being taken up by bikes. Cars have to open the opposite lane road and only one lane of car, its crazy.

Good luck to all those who bought into the 'Iskandar Dream', if they can't solve (or rather, not incentivized to solve) the traffic jam issues, you will see many people pulling their cash out of the stratospheric property market at Iskander very fast.

I find it funny how some property developers still advertise "5 mins away from Tuas Checkpoint" when in reality it takes 2 hours to clear that checkpoint.

Seacrhing for potential job in Singappore through website, send one or two resume, never get the response. Now a bit frustrated. Dont have much lubang for job hunting ..

Baru srew up one call from potential employer >.< lol

Hi All..

Wanna know if SGD2500 is sufficient to have a decent lifestyle ??

Thank you.

gov's effort to hire more FTs that can blend in... bringing in more yindian, prc, pinoy will raise d blood lvl of singkies.. msians on d other hand is not so obvious... culturally the same irregardless of ethnicity

1-2 resume frustrated? ... lol... better stay in msia

decent is subjective... but anything above 1500 is above poverty lvl

Sgd 2500 can get you a minimum lifestyle.
Unless you share room and eat chap fan everyday.
otherwise pretty miserable.

that's a win-win situation for Sg.

What's with the thread title. No you don't eat or play here. You can only gather at HongLim park. And you need to be frugal, work after 65, downgrade your flat, top up your CPF Life premium.

Anyone with a UTAR degree working in SG? Is it recognized? I have a accounting degree from UTAR ( no other professional qualification ). Not fresh grad though.

Thanks.

Eat chap fan everyday is pretty miserable. Just curious...what is the average cost like for phone line/transport expenses montly ?

Sgd 60/sgd100 pm
depending on data plan and how often/far you travel. More if you take taxi

nope disagree.

I sent few email, all asked for interview. First interviewer act so fast, two days later aldy meet all my request and gv me offer letter.

Lazy to go for other interview, i paisehly reject the remaining interview.

hi i m frm utar too.

In terms of applying for working permit with MOM i believe they r recognized by sg government. but this is different frm your accounting professional board etc, which you need to check by yourself.

if engineering i can help u check, but business stream i m totally clueless.

Wish you luck coming to sg

Btw which yr u graduated?

Hmm..anybody working in the travel industry ?

tak suka boleh keluar!

to sign off accts, then no...

yala yala... so pandai...

i'm earning much less than 2.5k but surviving ok & able to save $. i sent out 60-100 resumes. hahahaha..

Haha the paps new announcement is kinda depressing.

Anyway.. 2.5k is not too bad. Survivable.
Generally ull need abt 1.7k to live. 700 for rent. 1k for everything else.. decent lifestyle with some karaoke here and there

I can live comfortably with 2.5k but can also choose to live in debt with 20k. If you think chap fan is miserable then don't earn only 2.5k.
