More companies in Singapore looking to hire in 2016: Report
In a new Hudson report, 41 per cent of employers here plan to increase headcount while 6 per cent intend to decrease it.

MEDIA, PR, ADVERTISING TALENT WANTED

The report also found that the industries with the highest proportion of employees looking to hire are the Media/PR/Advertising sector (59 per cent), Professional Services (57 per cent) and IT&T (53 per cent).

"Many companies are investing more in digital marketing and e-commerce, and often outsourcing these specialist activities to agencies where we expect much of the hiring activity to be concentrated for Marketing, PR and Advertising," said Mr White.

As for professions that will be in demand, Sales (49 per cent), Financial Services (45 per cent) and HR/Recruitment (42 per cent) head the list, according to the report.

“Sales people play a crucial role in driving revenue growth, so the demand for them suggests that Singapore’s employers are focused on growing their bottom line. The demand for HR/Recruitment professionals reflects the fact that hiring and retaining the right talent will be key to achieving that growth," said the regional director.

“In the Financial Services space, we are seeing strong demand for compliance, audit and risk professionals, due to a growing focus on regulation in the region."

not exactly can see cannot touch, once you're PR, and if you're married, you can buy HDB and pay with your monthly cpf contribution.
so, instead of renting property, you own it yourself..

and maximum loan tenure is 5 years, means the remaining 40K+ is to be settled within 5 years max..

i got my extraction from JB, and i dont have any issues with them..
they'll make you sign a form that says your MY driving licence will be cancelled/blacklisted, but that is exactly how it should be, according to the law.
so please dont feel intimidated. you can still drive legally in MY using SG licence, and if you are PR, no renewals needed.

just ignore any runner loitering around JB JPJ that tried to offer "help" and go straight to the counter.

+1, Citi PremierMiles is my main card for all the general spending + biz trip spending.

it all depends on what you intend to do with the card, i have different card for different purposes.
DBS Esso platinum for petrol, OCBC Plus! for groceries @ NTUC, and my UOB cards are just kept aside as backup nowadays.
Just make sure to clear your bills every month, or you'll end up with bad credit score.

if i were you, i'd bite at 4.5k, and slowly work my way up.
you'll have better chance to aim higher when you have experience in SG, and are drawing SGD salary, as that'll be viewed as more relevant.

S$4.5K is just his salary right, if you factor in his wife's income(which i read is in medical line), it'll possibly be close to, if not higher than the singaporian household median income(S$8.7K) for 2015, which is not bad at all, and thats just for the start.
Of course, everyone's definition of "comfortable life" is different, so no comments on how much income is needed to achieve that.

i guess he meant CBP, Changi Business Park

only if your wife and child is singaporean.

I filled in for my kids, and IRAS contacted me to ask if my kids are Singaporean. No idea how it worked for others.

This is new to me, will try to file this again this year. Thanks.

i've been on M1 for 2 years, then starhub for 4 years, and am on singtel for 1 year now. i'd say the connection/speed difference is negligible between the telco, SG is a small island afterall, so coverage was never an issue. just go with whichever telco offering the most discount for the phone you want.

+1, and there is no obligation for you to provide that.
