QUOTE(xtylish @ Apr 4 2017, 03:34 PM) 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  another pros - back to JB/Bukit Indah very near

QUOTE(babychai @ Apr 5 2017, 12:24 AM) can PM me the agent as well?  Check your PM btw guys for opening bank account, proof of address documents,can I use certificate of stamp duty for room rental? They don't accept room rental agreement and I don't have phone bill statement because I'm using prepaid now as it's paid by company previously. The bank staff wasn't very sure and ask me to bring it over to try.

QUOTE(knwong @ Apr 4 2017, 08:53 PM) This is true from my observation as well. What S'porean consider as ulu, is actually sap sap sui in terms of travel journey for us M'sian. Just get a motorbike. COE for motor is still acceptable. But those ulu/remote places you mentioned, all are manufacturing - biomedical, chemical, pharma, construction, OnG refinery, F&B, etc... the best is got free company bus, cannot OT , need to catch company back home

hi guys, just want to ask If a company has the right to request interviewee to acknowledge "Consent in Relation to Personal Data" under Personal Data Protection Act? I know the employees have to sign this kind of stuff but for job application?

That should be something saying that you have provided your personal data for them (resume, address, contact details all those?). Sign to acknowledge that you have provided these information bla bla bla. I'm not very sure. You have gotta go through the terms and conditions before signing

As your information may be shared with other divisions either for systems use or job use they require your approval hence the acknowledgement. Well, that is what I was told by my legal team during design of my system which collects private information.

Good day all. How much is current payscale for IT dev 5exp in all rounder for mvc? And the risk of going back to malaysia? Would the salary drop? Lets say MYR10k to sg is SGD5k then malaysia would base on SGD5k then make it MYR7k?
