do contract staff also have to pay tax?

EP takes approx 2 weeks time to get..
if not your Co. probably can put u in contract staff while waiting for your EP

i though EP is yor working permit?
where S Pass is your qualification of Visa is tat so?

-------------
guys usually S'poreans prefer to call local number for interview rather than other countries?

bro pubee, seriously i can tell u most of the ppl hook up with agent is easier for them not US
where ea successful deal they get half of the rent (it depands)

for me i pay S$250 for a common room at S$520 hehe

if u dont 1 agent ~ u have to spend time rumbling aroung S'pore for few trips and search for notice borad arounf central for rooms
Or...stay with owner which is scary....water restriction, electricity restriction ( if he/she see u have LCD/lappie/CPU/PS3..etc they definitely doing to blame on u, using too much electricity )

so is up to u whether Agent (might worth too if the agent get u a real nice cheap deal with pretty gals staying together~~ )
else...JB or day trip to s'pore for visit~

All the best bro~

i way cost rm170 tat time just issuing free tickets to KL-SG
gosh was too exp i wonder what is the updated price..

ohh yeah a recruit agency called me up last week mentioned the max wages given me is low ...i think they start converting RM--> S'pore
hai...kaisu mentality

@mIssfROGY

yeah u r right on the facts..

im worrying abot the agency too...if i get hired i will be under them or under the co. i applied for.

Normally online resume u have to fill in the current salary in S$ doller where most of us "Malaysian" have to convert in S$ which is sooo small in Sing doller.

This figure definately will pull us down in getting new jobs which demand for higher pay in Singapore.

let's make an example..

I earn rm3k coverert back to S$ = S$1315 (2.28 5th of February 08)
I demand = S$2700

I dont think tat is a nice figure for pay rise....any suggestion for that?

Current working field

Radio Network Engineer with 2 yrs eperience in Telecommunication Industry

Thanks

@mIssfROGY

u mean lets say i earn rm3k i should demand for S$3k + 25% on top of that..wow im luckly enough to get a higy pay like tat

but us "Malaysian" they will pull down our price and let us with no options to take the figure. I got a call from Job Agency say her client can offer max S$2.5k...sigh.... still can survive act....

so missfroggy u mean that agencies offering S$2.5k mostly without bonus? anything else i should consider or ask if any calls come in?

but most MNC co. will hire agency to seek for stuff....

emm.....wired....nvm i will ask them n see..
so mostly ppl at malaysia get their jobs via online too right...but if im not mistaken www.jobsdb.com.sg mostly run by agency.....

haha u'r right "neighbouts" with lower wages



If im not mistaken...there's a agent told me AMK common room cost S$650 with partly firnished no A/C 3 mins walk to AMK MRT + S$300 agent Fee + 1 month bond.
Visited the place looks good quite dense...marble floor, emm common room kind off....small

Whole unit cost S$2k+



ya bro admit that i had send off 20 job applications only 1 agency call me up for sending my resume to the co. for shortlisted till now no news at all
I even get send to those jobs which stated "Singaporean or PR only" but not indicating "straightly" u never knows maybe they cant get any s'poreans to work with

Gosh ...is hard to get a job there ...jobs that u want..



Got Bonus anot? under your agency or direct under the co. brother? going through your thread now

Guys just got a call from Agency ...MissFroggy..sigh really no bonus and they offer me another post where is 2 yrs contract..

after 2 yrs there's an option to be permanent or extend your contract...
and Maybe Yes/ Maybe No to have bonus after 2 yrs...

Sigh...bond for 2 yrs is a big question whether the job environment u like/ work load/ benefits for contract stuff...

The job? yes is something related to me and is a challange for me to learn more new things, is just the bonding part and bonus~~ hmm...
Can u guys work for 2 yrs without bonus?
