Usually it applies to locals. In my ex-firm, most applicants we received worked for just less than a year and jump. Even their salary also fluctuate like stock market *up and down*

Luckily u left

Of course it will, but you only asked if it's "okay" to leave, not what the future implications may be

If you only have a few weeks then just dont show this experience in your resume, no need to explain

Well, I already saw the whole picture of my company after 3 months so just work to buy time for me to find the opportunity to jump

Aaah i get it... Its like, i will be applying as though I'm still a fresh grad again. From that point of view, looks like getting past 1 year looks more established... I dont know if i shoud or not though, the job here now seems okay-ish, though long working hours (plus OT up to 12 hrs), i imagine working in Sg wont be much different other than the currency appeal....

Even 1 year can almost count as nothing to SG employer. 2 years maybe they still consider.

Trust me, sg company wun take into consideration of u 1yr exp in MALAYSIA, they will lowball u kaokao

So beter jus come whenever u got the chance

+1...
better just keep applying and see if there's any good opportunity.

Ohh... I see.... Ok. Have to get back onto job hunting again then....

Hi all, anyone here working in Globalfoundry woodlands? im goin to join there soon.

congrats

I see haha, thanks for the correction.

Just keep job hunting if working in singapore is really what you want and you can get a desired job with a good learning experience and career prospects. and dont include your current job in your resume.

I'm still thinking whether or not to work in Singapore, as I'm still unsure as in which career path to take.

Anyway, best of luck

brother and sister , can anyone of you provide me with some website on room renting.
i've been finding many website and most of them have agents fees.
thank you in advance

Hi all,

I'm new here in this thread.

So I'm graduating next week with a degree in Economics from a university in Canada after studying there for 4 years, and even though I don't have any solid career plans yet, I'm planning to return to Canada next year (Feb-ish?) to look for a job there.

Well right now I hope to secure an internship or contract job in Singapore for the next few months. I honestly don't really mind the pay, I just really want to have some experience in Singapore. Who knows if I like the work culture there and if the company accepts me for long term I might end up staying there? XD

I've been trying to apply for a number of jobs from InternSG etc. already. But right now what worries me is the work pass issue. I'm no longer entitled for the Training Employment Pass cause I'm graduating already, and the Work Holiday Programme pass doesn't apply to Canadian universities..... sadly.... The only one that I saw that I think I could remotely get is the S pass? Then again, I don't really have any real work experiences and I'm worried for applying for fresh grad jobs so quickly, real work experiences as in like internships. I've done numerous volunteer activities, contributed to alot of community clubs and participated in a number of projects but none of which are like the nature of internships, that's why I was just thinking of starting small and low in SG.

But since now I think the only pass that I'm entitled for is the S pass(?), that means the job that I get must pay me at least 2.2k sgd?


Any thoughts or comments on this?

Thank you!

There's still work permit but with degree I doubt they will give you that. No problem working here short term with S Pass or E Pass right? But if the post is really temporary intern I'm not sure what kind of pass can the company apply for you. You can't really apply the passes. Only the employer can apply for that.

Yeah that's my hope. I just want to know if it will be a waste of time for me to apply for those short term contract based jobs if most of the passes are not even applicable to my case.

I would say you better just apply for full time job without minimum employment period/contract.

But have to take note... If you work in SG between 61 and 183 days, prepare to give up 15% tax or is it 20%? Non-resident rate.

Wah I'm not prepared to commit full time in sg, so the only way to secure a work pass is through full time :/ ?

Anyhow, other than InternSG and Jobstreet, are there any other recommended job hunting websites that people usually frequent for fresh grad jobs? :B

Very few part time job available for office-based work. And most company won't hire foreigner for temp job, due to the quota of work permits. If you just want to get some working experience, why not try in your home country? It'd be a lot easier to get a contract role in big MnC.
