i'm planning to work in sg soon. just want some opinion from those who have work there....do u guys stay in hometown and make frequent trips for interview? or went there rent a room and job hunting like mad?......what should i do if i wanna go to sg thru jb? i'm from kuching and it is my first time searching for work outside my hometown and a seriously consider going for it if i land a job at sg

thanks billycomeback it really helps......a few more question though... ....if i were to go in to sg thru jb there is a immigration office right?......what should i do when planning to enter sg and finding work there? like work permit or something like that?

thanks for the info.....are there any jobs that do not require PR status in Singapore?
can give some info on semicon industries there? are the pay good there?....i'm currently working in a fab environment too

well i don't have a degree......i was thinking more of the normal kind of job like a general worker....it's kinda hard to find jobs like that in jobstreet and jobsdb...are jobs like supermarket cashier or waiter available in abundance?

i'm a guy....strait times...got it.....another question though....let's just say i am called by a company in sg to come for interview...if i were to enter from jb...should i tell him that i come for "vacation"? or job hunting?....i'm kinda worried about billy line "This is up to the immigration officer chopping your passport. If your passport empty and new and you first time coming to Singapore, they might question your motives and reasons for visit and blah blah. My first time I had to show my Malaysian IC and driving license to the immigration officer. When I said I am going to start work in Singapore, they ask me for company name, company adress, my adress in Singapore, my contact number and all that." i'm a first-timer very sorry to bombard u guys with question ....i just wanna make sure i get everything right before i go. since i am not guarantied a job yet which option should i go for? should i lie or just be honest?

any "pantang" that i should know about before i go sg? how about taxation and stuff?....though i can find the info from the net but a person view suits me well

a fren in sg recently told me that i can find a job thru an agent in sg.....if my application for the job is succesful....the company will pay the agent....is it normal? do i need to pay money to the agent? is there a "catch"?

ic....just wanna know ...let's just say i settle down in sg already....what do i hae to do yearly? like paying tax and government obligations ?

is sg safe in ur opinion?

how about PR in sg....is it easy to get?....i got a diploma in IT.....some fren say easy while some fren say very hard...which is true?

how bout net access in sg?...is it good?....can torrent?

i have found my dream country to live in after japan.... ....really hope my search will turn out fruitfully....my current job workload is too high for a general worker....even the engineer workload is little compare to mine

are Singaporeans fashion?.....what are their view on non-beautiful people? i'm not good looking but i just wanna know their mentality.

are singaporeans generally friendly or it real depends on person?....if possible can u list out the district in sg?.....example....ginza is tokyo high class district...
