here is a tip from my very own experience.
apply jobs at job portals and search for offices located at Tuas / Jurong Island or anywhere remote/ulu. companies situated at such places are quite far from town area but usually provides company transport. cons - far away from town - need to wake up early - if missed the company bus, need to take taxi to office (need to pay $$$ from own pocket) pros - sg citizen and pr usually will avoid to work at these places - save money on transport (if stay near company bus pick up point) - easier to be shortlisted for interview good luck |
