If you have a degree in E&E chances are pretty high. Singapore is in need of Engineer. For some reason, SIngaporean don't like to work in SIngapore and rather opt to countries like US. SO more opportunities to us!

mine is just below 3 now...I'm guessing that's bad

Hmm, below 3 is a bit hard but still there is a glimpse of hope. Depends on which university you graduated from. Then again, a bit experience will definitely boost your chances. Try nevertheless, you never try, you'll never know. I have sent multiple application to singapore too. I thought small firms will be easier BUT i was wrong, none of the medium and small firms reply me. Then I try my luck with the International ones, I hit the jackpot.

They told me, small firms won't go through the hassle of getting you an EP. SO you have to apply to Big ones, cause they will be applying in bulk!

What working experience or other qualifications do you have? I would be going tomorrow for interview in those factory jobs, hoping it can be a stepping stone in sg if I got the job... maybe can try help if I get the job.

I only have 1 year experience. Not sure if that will help...
What if we apply an EP ourselves? Will that increase the chances of getting a job in small/medium firm?

You can't apply EP for yourself. You need to get a sponsor (firm) to apply a EP for you. If everyone applies for a EP themselves then everyone will be coming to Singapore. I think you stand pretty good chance, so try your luck.

Hi,

You must get a job first before you can start to apply work permit or EP.

Normally Work Permit takes much shorter processing time compare to EP.

My company helps me to apply for work permit and I upgrade it to EP myself.

ok, so I don't need to get any work permit or certificate when searching? Only apply when I get an offer is it?

Yes, and company will apply for you so rest assure!

For Malaysians should be easy to get Work Permit or EP, because even Bangla working in S'pore able to get it.

i'm a master degree holder in Physics, is it possible for me to get a job in SG?i send out several resumes but no feedback at all. i now work in MNC. thanks for advise.

Life in Singapore quite bored for me after working there for sometimes.....facing the same building...walking the same path...meeting the same colleagues.....

actually for those who worked there for sometimes, what's your daily activities and weekend?

Monday - Friday : wake up---->work----->come back----->online------>sleep

Saturday or Sunday : Jogging, library, washing clothes, shopping....very sien leh...

I like the feeling of ambience around 6.30PM-8.00PM where all people got back from work and rush to the local eating shops eat and stuff. The MRT/LRT will be jammed packed!

ahhh...what did u benefit the most from that??

isn't it the same here? Eat, work, sleep, eat, work, sleep...online...sleep
I just want a change in environment and last I went to SG for holiday...I absolutely loved the place. I know a lot of people saying that its not a good place to stay, but I really want to give it a shot myself.

Before I went there, a lot of ppl told me how kiasu Singaporeans are but those that I've met along the way are pretty nice people. Thankfully haven't met any nasty ones.

So I think, if you have the opportunity why not try something different? The reason I choose Singapore is the exchange rate. Save up some money then maybe open my own business and qualify to be one of the forummer in 'Earning >RM5K before 28yrs old thread!' (Achievable if I convert my SGD to MYR but not an apple to apple comparison)

haha, I really don't think I can make that much even after converting I only hope to survive there

I just like the ambience actually.

a question about driving in Singapore...
1) I have a M'sian driving license...is it valid in SG?
2) If I buy a car in SG, any problems bringing it back to M'sia?

You can't drive a SG plate car with a Malaysian License. Go get a IDL instead.
