Hi all, I have a question about EP. The new FCF guidelines for employers who wish to hire EP holders state that the employers must first advertise the job for 14 days on JobsBank before submitting an EP application.

I will be attending an interview in SG in a few days. As far as I know, this job is not advertised on the JobsBank (I checked). The company didn't even advertise any vacancies, I only got the interview because I emailed the company asking if they had a vacancy.

Will this affect my chances of getting the job? I'm worried if they offer me the job and then later retract the offer because they found a local candidate after advertising as required on JobsBank. Should I even discuss this during the interview? >_<

The situation is a bit more complicated because I received another job offer in MY which I liked and will take if I can't get a guarantee that this SG company will definitely hire me.

Much appreciated if anyone can share some advice smile.gif

I thought you need Singpass to login to jobsbank, how you check? hmm.gif

Anyway it's anyone's guess how effective the jobsbank actually is with regards to FCF. As an example, in my company (a 70k+ employee MNC), any internal job posting they MUST advertise it on the intranet for 2 weeks as per HR policy. Yet half or more of these internal ads actually they already have decided on a candidate and are just wayang to waste everyone's time for formalities' sake.

If you go to sinkie forums like HWZ, everyone thinks the jobsbank also wayang only and companies will just continue hiring foreigners just with an added formalities step of "oops I put on jobsbank but no suitable candidate apply from there also."

Don't need Singpass to check. Here's the link if you're interested lol JobsBank

For EP application now... the employer need to provide the JobsBank application number together with the EP application. If stated in the application that there is 2 vacancies, then MOM only allow you to apply for 2 EP only. They sound alot stricter now rclxub.gif

Possible will affect la... But if you really are that good, I believe they can get through it biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
Hmm... Just like what I'm thinking biggrin.gif

I actually thought SG'ean very follow law but actually not really... They won't bang ppl won't throw rubbish anywhere but some I see, they spit into the bush/... in the public and cross the road without following pedestrian crossing. Some drive their car in reverse traffic (yeah I saw it once, that area is supervised by CCTV on light pole lagi biggrin.gif )... Maybe my prejudice is a little wrong biggrin.gif
Wow... 3 still studying... "Pai mia" eh... But if your dad enjoy it then good la biggrin.gif

Actually... I interviewed with them previously before FCF rules came into play.. but because I couldn't come in immediately got rejected. Now it's like 2nd chance given sweat.gif
