Guys, one of my fren told me that work permit holder can no longer comes to singapore for work once they stopped the job and return back to country. Is that true?

I got a call and job offer from company to work in SG. May I ask is it I have to sign the offer letter only the company can proceed to next step for apply employment pass for me? Will the company knows when is the working date or have to wait for the pass to get through by MOM?

I am from Kedah, so I am trying to find out how long I should stay in SG until everything is completed as I can't be going in and out often, the travel can be killing with 12 hours bus journey

face-to-face interview

Guys, I heard some news about application been rejected by MOM as the new law started. Kinda worry about that since I am also one of the hundred who is waiting my pass to get approve.

Btw, anyone got lobang for single female to rent a room in Ang Mo Kio area?

The new law regarding Singaporean shall be the priority of hiring.

Just got mail from employer that work permit application has been approved. Have to travel down to Singapore in these few days for medical examination. About this, do I have to wait for the report to produced and submit to MOM myself? Or usually the clinic will send to company directly?

Here is some weird part, the IPA letter stated that my salary is 2k however the employer promised to give me more than that and was official in my offer letter. Is this valid ar?

Sorry for asking a lot of questions ya

HR told me I can open a bank account either with DBS or OCBC. Would like to ask what is the difference between these two. I am getting a work permit only, heard that a lot of restrictions with that as well.

How much is the deposit needed? I heard DBS can only be open in Chinatown for work permit holder, sounds so ...discriminating.

Err...which industry you're from? I think jobs are a lot and you just have to try harder and maybe expect to take in something might be lower than your expectation, to gain experience and build your profile first since you're fresh.

The so called network and contact might not be very helpful sometimes, what they do is just reference your resume to hiring manager. Still low possibility to promise a job if there is nothing outstanding in your resume. Unless you have a very very good academic record that can beat local.

First working week in Singapore. Anyone kind to share how you guys spend the weekend here? All I can do is sit at home and do nothing, very boring leh. Got no idea where to start also.

Thanks for all the ideas Will look up for these and see which one i can start plan for weekend schedule. Btw, any places in singapore good for landscape shooting? apart from marina bay sand (which is very common)
