When is it??

it's on 18-20 jan 10am to 8pm at suntec

Hello everyone.....

anyone here will go down during the mid jan to do hunt on room renting?
and do you guys do have recommendation on which hostel to stay within the timeframe?

you go search for student rooms or you ask your fren whether can let you stay for a timebeing or not...getting a room is singapore is very troublesome and very hard to get good owner and good clean rooms.

open for fresh grad and non pr or not?
cos I see some jobs listed in jobsdb state that applicants must be either singaporean or pr.

Would really like to look into the Job Fair, but I'm working those days.

Me too..

Does anybody knows how much is to rent a room in Bukit Timah area? To be more specific, its in Sixth Avenue.

hey guys,

i am in final year of degree in IT (software engineering) from MMU.

any job can i get in sg? .. ..

What job you looking for? Maybe you can send me your resume i can find for u..

hi there, u r working in job agency ya?

no not in agency.. im working in spore.. but got lobang here.. so if got resume i ma can forward for them to check for work lo..

i also know ppl work in agency~
lol...

I'm in dilemma now, i just got the offer, SG2.7k with OT claim, can exceed 3k if work more OT..... should I or should i not go.... it's way below my expected salary, however, my current salary in m'sia is a bit higher (value wise) than above offer.

Really don't know it's wise choice to go... i know u cant decide for me.. but i wanna hear ur opionion... i'm in electronics engineering field with about less than 2 years of experience... Only given 1 day to make the decision sigh.... FYI, my intension is to earn $$ thr, probably less than 5 years...

Generally currency value is a good option for gaining $ in short term. If getting a lot of money in short time is the only way to achieve your long term goal, then I would say you should give it a try; otherwise have to think carefully...

If money is you only concern, then the choice is very simple to make.

Do a very basic comparative budget.

Option A: Msia.
Salary: RM3500
Tax & EPF: -RM500 (I just whack only. You need to calculate).
Expenses: -RM1000
Savings: RM2000 or SGD900

Option B: Sg.
Salary: S$3000
Tax & CPF: -S$500 (I just whack only. You need to calculate).
Expenses: -S$1000
Savings: SGD1500 or RM3300

$ for $, you're saving 65% more than you would in Malaysia.

If you're able to find a job that pays S$3500, same as the current RM3500 in Malaysia (it's quite common actually and Sg got way more higher level higher pay jobs too), AND assuming you don't go and spend that S$500 extra, you now have RM1100 more savings (total S$2000 or RM4400) ie. 120% more than the RM2000 you would have saved if you had remained in Malaysia.

Think of it this way, if you have to work in Malaysia 30 years before you can afford retire, you now have to work only 10-15 years in order to have the same amount of cash to retire on.

In addition, you will have much more money much earlier, and that earns more interest/dividends which in turn earns more interest/dividends. The time value of money and compounding interest paves the road to financial independence, my friend.

It's that simple. But as I said, this works if money is your ONLY consideration.

haiz, i am aggressively hunting for job in singapore, majoring accountancy..i had sent out resumes to many companies but yet get any reply from them..like wat u guys said, most of it are offering to singaporean and PR, i just a fresh graduate equipped with a couple of months experiences in audit line..how to compete with others over there.
