I have done so (If I remember correctly). Even I give my HR scan she also help me cross out.

Just send in and see what they say. Anyway if can't then your HR will revert to you also mah.

You never tell where you from also. But 8am your best bet is to stay in SG. Else even in JB, you have to wake up like 3-4 am prepare leave home at 5 something. You won't look good at the interview after that

Got... Got difference. Like S Pass got quota and levy, then apply some accounts more restricted. Not as free as EP.

What's your highest qualification? Got degree?

Nope that's a flat $500 for all passes including EP.

My advice...

When you meet your HR to sign the letter, tell him/her on the spot.

Definitely you can't start working earlier. Worst case should be that you can't go they force you to stay the next second worst case should be that you have to take unpaid leave. The best case will be... You can take advanced leave to cover the 2 days.

It will definitely leave a bad impression and might affect your performance appraisal/review. "Might". Maybe you can overturn that by performing excellently thereafter?

You can change cash and bring over the causeway to bank in (at the same time can go City Square spend like a boss) or use DBS/CIMB to transfer online. Rate normally slightly lower than cash rate though.

No it won't be gone. Nothing will happen. Just that your Whatsapp will still be showing Malaysia number. Your colleagues if they add only your new SG number they won't be able to see Whatsapp account on that number UNTIL!!!! you go into Whatsapp -> Account -> Change number. This will change your account number from MY to SG number. All your chats will remain, all your groups will remain too. All group members will see that you changed your number but personal chat, they won't be able to get you on the same chatbox (MY number). You need to inform them to message your Whatsapp on your SG number. I think that's it.

For you it's still the same chatbox (coz they still same number) but for your friends they need to chat with you on the SG number which is a different chatbox d.

If wanna use both then yeah need 2 phones. Buy one Xiaomi cheap cheap

Have you updated your address with your company?

You should'very informed them. I never get such request but I apply at counter la.

Depends much on industry. My company for example. If you wear full formal, you look weird in the office haha

BTW contract as in with minimum employment period or you join as contract staff?

Just checked both POSB and DBS website.

POSB still $500 for POSB eSavings Account, charge $2

DBS, before Sept 2011 $500 after Sept 2011 $1000, charge $2

I always thought DBS & POSB offer their product 1-to-1.

DBS = Visa, POSB = Master. Another interesting difference haha but the DBS ATM card looks more premium

But to the least they should've told you whether there's a minimum employment period and what's the penalty if you decided to quit before that period of time.

Do you even know if you will be bonded with the company and whether you enter as contract or as permanent staff and whether there's any benefit entitled for you?

If you never find out, good luck. But most likely it won't turn too bad. SG is relatively well controlled compared to MY.

Make sure you read through every line on the paper before you sign.

It is October 2014 instead of October 2015. HR has a way around it. Don't worry.

If you ok with paying half month agent fee, just get one agent and let them look for you. Agents are like sharing a sea of database even from agents of other firms. They can bring you to multiple rooms and let you choose. Can tell them your budget also.

Really depends much on area. Single room can go from 500 to 1000. Shared room can go from 800 to 1200~1500. You can always go North of stated range.

Mine is 650 per month single room with all utilities and aircond included. Near Bukit Merah area.

Ok I know my answer is ambiguous but that's really the case. Depends on area, shared/single & utilities included etc.

Every application confirm not 100% guarantee approve. So if you were to resign before getting the approval, the risk is 100% on you.

But I got one question actually...

If new company apply EP before I resign, current employer will be notified?

100% confirm sure??

Anyway for current employer to check then?

Private car or what? If private car you have less to worry about.

Nah no need. As long as you got degree most likely no problem getting EP. My initial salary also lower.

Not 10k or 20k? I remember not 30k so high eh

Bank confirm lower. Just change at money changer.

You sure M'sia doing much better?
