QUOTE(deodorant @ Mar 9 2015, 07:19 AM) Is it easier? In theory, yes. Being here you can attend interviews immediately when called, etc ... but 'how much easier' is hard to quantify. I know people (back when you could apply 1 year LTVP to look for job) who have taken over half a year to find a job even being here in SG. yeah i know the easier word is kinda vague here but what i meant was a better chance to get a job applying in sg than msia. is kinda hard to travel to sg everytime have an interview unless i can 100% score it |

QUOTE(almeizer @ Mar 9 2015, 10:45 AM) 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. just hope that it wont take long to get a job in sg as i was thinking to rent a room in sgIt would be more convenient for both you and employer if you stay in SG and apply for job/ go for interview. |

QUOTE(Fiona Chin @ Mar 9 2015, 11:18 AM) There is definitely an advantage applying jobs while you are in SG. But you have to consider the benefit-cost ratio. Are you expecting 2-3 interviews per day? Or 2-3 interviews per month? In the worst case scenario you get 0 for that month. Loaded enough for 1 month hotel stay in SG? my gf is working in sg so we most likely will move into master room or studio unit and hopefully able to get a job in a month time |

hmm, i think i am ok with up to 2 months of rental in sg without job. any further than that will be depressing if there is no job within my requirement

QUOTE(Fiona Chin @ May 12 2015, 03:52 PM) 4k is even lower than my fresh grad pay 8 years ago. Thanks to the FTs with superb printed papers demanding low pay, now everybody get the sai. But nevermind, news say 4 people household 1.25k enough to buy essentials for living already. 3.5k you can feed 10 people liao. or maybe i only can blame myself for not being skilled in particular module to demand more :/ |
