Guys how do I apply for employment pass if I do not have an official certificate from my University? I will not have it until August but I already got an offer from a Singapore company and I would like to start working as soon as possible.

apply for the EP first, then get a signed document stating you'd finished your course and graduated successfully from your University. The MoM (Ministry of Manpower) is very very particular in terms of your tertiary education qualifications especially when you're applying for an EP.

Well, I just my EP this morning. Start working next Monday

That's a course completion letter. It should be on the university's letterhead, with the stamp of a relevant dept eg. the vice chancellor's office or student affairs dept or your faculty dean or admin office etc. and state specifically the name of the degree under which faculty, that you have completed all requirements for the said degree, the date of completion and of course sufficient personal details to identify you to anybody relying on the letter.

I'm staying near Marine Parade, at the East side of SG but I'm working at Jurong East =.=" Wake up at 5am, come out at 6am, reach office at 9am, reach home at 9pm

I'm working as an ERP consultant, people here are not really friendly as most of them just focus on their own job. I miss the interaction and communication between colleagues in my old company

I'm staying in a 1+1 HDB with my girlfriend, $1100 per month excluding all the bills.

so fast get offer? which firm?

ur accounting firm = audit firm?
according to my ex-colleague, audit firm in singapore is all concentre at 1 area. city centre, im forget the name.
so some of them staying near to city, judge by how many stop using MRT.

the farer you stay, the more cheaper the rent.

anyways, you may expect other foreigner working with u, like from philipinas,HK and China n Msian as well.

Rent there is very expensive.

But if you guys manage to come across a master room to rent which cost less than sgd 650 for 2 person and near MRT please let me know ya!

Singapore is like that wan ler..all the people there very competitive. Work hard, Spend hard!

Let me know too as I am looking for master room or common room for 2 person along East-West MRT line

master room with a/c fully furnished is easy to find especially near Bedok area... for $700~800.

@melodyfair

NewBie? Fresh Graduate?

Huh? Why is it taking so long?

The nearest MRT stations to Marine Parade are Aljunied, Paya Lebar and Kembangan on the EW line. Jurong East is at the end of the EW line, so changing of train lines is not necessary. They are 15-17 stns apart and according to the Transitlink guide, the trip only takes 24-28 minutes. Even if you have to take a bus from Marine Parade area, say Marine Parade Central to Aljunied, the bus trip should be no more than 15-20 minutes. Worse come to worse, add a 10 minute walk from your flat to the bus stop and 10 minutes waiting time at bus stop & MRT.

All in all, it should take you no more than 28+20+10+10 = 68 minutes from your doorstep to Jurong East MRT. Are you saying it then takes you almost 2 hours to get from Jurong East MRT to your office?

I wanna to go over singapore for work reason. Any reference

guys, what are the average salary of local BBA degree holder fresh grads over singapore? hmm lower than 2K @@?

I believe that's life in SG. Been here for almost a month, the 4th week of my new job here after island hopping from PG to SG. Last time i used to wake up at 730am, read newspaper, out 8am and reach office 815am. Now, wake up 645am, out 705am and reach office 8am. Quite a "drastic" change i would say, at least for me.

Me too miss the interaction amongs old colleagues...but have to get use to new life here.

Cheers.

yaya

If minus off ur 'EPF' then it's lower lor. But minimum pay for grads is 2k
