If you willing to take SME companies, I see no problem..
They like overseas, especially Msia people if you can speak chinese+ a bit hokkien

for MNC...you can try your luck..my friend with 2nd lower cls just secured a position in Baker..while another got in M1..all pay more than 3k..consider good as freshie..

Sadly i only have a 3rd class honors. But this kind of qualification still can apply MNC company ? Hopefully got reply soon. Well im going to sg next week for 2 weeks. for friends wedding and just hunt for jobs. Im quite worried i cant get a job in sg.

i believe most employer would prefer someone who are present in SG and readily available for interview, and adding a local(SG) contact number to your resume would improve your chance. and when you come to SG, please bring along all your certs (including your birth cert), so you can submit them for permit application without have to go back and forth.

Ill be there next week for 2 weeks. Yeap ive put the sg number as secondary number on my resume. Thanks for the info ! I just need some luck.
