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

there are various positions in the banking sector such as front end and back end. I have mys friends working/previously working in UxB for front line position. She got a decent pay for her qualification but need to work on shift and she quit after 3 years due to politics within the branch. She was recommended this job by another friend who is still working in there. If you have friends working in SG, it is much better that you ask them to recommend you into the company.

Do you mind telling what kind of position are you seeking in the banking sector?

2gb data on a prepaid sim should be quite expensive. you can sign for postpaid type plan without a contract, paying $42.90 for 2-3 gb data per month, 150-200 minutes of local talk time (depends on telco plan). you may want to add V018/019 at around $7 per month so that you can call home with your local minutes stated above.

i am working in a finance company, i feel the pain too. there are lots of reporting to do, so many regulations to comply, change of accounting standards etc. at least my company is not cutting jobs as yet

should have at least 2500+, if you are lucky, you can get 3k+. some will look at annual income rather than monthly income since annual income will include AWS and bonus.

most of the paper works are in english unless you need to deal with those chinese customers.

did you have any bad record? they can't be rejecting you every time

everytime i fly in, SG custom also did not check my luggage. just make sure that your luggage is big enough to fit your CPU

ask the agent, make sure you both agree on the terms before signing anything.

so far i seldom hear my friends getting any job offers successfully from agents except for Singaporeans or PR

no idea since i am not in the same field

change job or move to other country need to inform ICA

when i first started seeking job in SG also sent hundreds of applications. get a SG hp number, easier to get opportunity

you have completed ACCA should be 'wanted' in SG, can come to try your luck

i think roaming charges are not cheap but never really compared the prices of that 3 telcos. if you are no physically in SG, what if they ask you to come interview the next day? the most you can push it to the subsequent week. you can't be travelling here through and flow everytime you have an interview, it will cost you more.

the risk is that if you can't find a job within 2 or 3 months then you will have to back malaysia and can't come back for a period of time. so make sure you get a job within 2 months

i got my job from jobsdb previously, got other interviews as well from other job portal. nowadays i thought most of the recruitment advertisements have to go through MOM Job Bank for 2 weeks before hiring foreigners, not sure bout the chances for foreigners (not PR yet)

really? but when the company applies for employment pass from MOM, MOM would ask for the advertising proof at the job bank i guess. not sure how they deal with it
