QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Dec 18 2014, 06:23 PM) EP is hard to get nowadays. many of my colleague got S pass and some even got a WP. Those on the $3-3.5k range no need to hope for EP anymore. Those below 3k, prepare to take WP. at least that's what happen in the place i working now. i am worried now .I already tendered , based on my offer letter , my job in sg will start on 15jan . Currently still no sound from the new co (hr) regarding the EP status. |

QUOTE(nothingz @ Dec 19 2014, 01:49 PM) you can check the status of the application yourself at the MOM website using your passport number if you are anxious to know the outcome Noted. Look like they have not submit it yet as the website shows no record.QUOTE(deodorant @ Dec 19 2014, 02:02 PM) Yes, foreign bank. What I can say is thanks to the entire industry coming under huge regulatory and balance sheet pressures, practically every single foreign bank with significant SG presence is cutting jobs (or move them to cheaper places) - particularly on the more back office roles like IT and operations. alright. If you are a junior hire, to be honest without any cable you have very very small chance of getting in. If experienced still OK. Seems unlikely (unless the company HR fukup when applying) that you won't get EP by 15 Jan. Cos normally it is approved (or rejected) within few days to max 1-2 weeks. |

QUOTE(rawrkun @ Dec 27 2014, 06:12 AM) Did MOM gave any reason for the rejection,eg. salary, job hopping too much, etc?? havent clarify with the HR yet regarding the reason as the new co was closed during friday .If everything complies with their requirement, usually they'll approve the pass after an appeal. or maybe they changed the regulations again recently  just my second job tho, the first job in sg , i guess the salary part does not meet the requirement. but based on the SAT ( self assssmnt tool ) at the MOM website , i am eligible but for sure that is only assumption  This post has been edited by fcuk90: Dec 27 2014, 03:51 PM |

QUOTE(studyboy @ Dec 29 2014, 12:25 AM) Did you apply the EP on your own? If anything, I think your employer should help you sort this out. called them today to ask for the status, they said it is their problems regarding the rejection for the EP as they clarify that my documents ( certs ,transcripts etc)are sufficient.The HR help me resubmit again. |

QUOTE(studyboy @ Dec 30 2014, 12:18 AM) I see! As far as I am concerned, you have no power over the EP application other than providing the correct details and sufficient documents. Keep us updated and all the best! HR resubmit on 29 dec , approved today !  |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Mar 21 2015, 01:34 PM) Depends on where you work. In CBD it's hard to find cheap food (example yesterday I go NTUC food court at raffles eat bak chor mee also $6.50 liao). on the other hand if you are in like west or east and/or got cheap company canteen then it could be easier to find ~$3 lunch. yeah , raffles place food market not bad ( but long que at lunch time, a lot good food there ) nasi briyani $5 . chicken rice $3 .  |
