You got the IPA letter? If you do, you may check with the custom officer whether you can use it to enter Singapore. Otherwise, just enter like normal using white card, don't need to specify anything, unless the officer ask you.
It would be more convenient for both you and employer if you stay in SG and apply for job/ go for interview.

You need to budget how long u can last by renting room in SG. Maybe you can opt to rent in JB and go in SG whenever you got interview. That way, the cost will be lesser.
But remember to pre-fill the white card also. In case IPA is not acceptable then you no need to re-queue.

yea ill just leave the leave date from sg blank i guess lol

no matter how,physically there would be better as most of them might require face to face interview anyway

Better don't change jobs frequently if you are work permit holder unless you are employment pass holder. What's more you are in the midst of waiting for permit approval.

You will risk your credentials on your future renewal and future PR application.

But i heard even EP holder have limit to job changes number. Cos I am looking out for new job as well :/
