Hey guys need some advice.

Fresh graduate and now search auditor jobs in Sg.

Apply 60+ in jobsdb, jobstreet etc since 3 weeks ago....get 1 offer from local accounting small firm, another reply yesterday asking for additional supporting documents...

All jobs in jobsdb said "not suitable"....going to sg on mid May, originally easy for physical interview but get offer before that...

Should i just accept this job first? scared that I won't get any interview invitation once I reject this offer

Chances of getting auditor jobs are higher in SG career fair as they have their own booth there.

As you'll be fighting with the rest of fresh graduate in SG, chances are low if you apply via job sites unless referral.

Singaporean big 4s have a policy of hiring graduates from the 3 local unis (NTU, NUS, SMu) and also singaporeans from foreign universities. Foreigner fresh grads very low chance.

Better chance with the mid tier firms.

Thanks for reply.

I have applied some mid-tier firms like RSM and BDO, but so far no news from them. So really struggle whether to accept this job offer at the moment. And the problem I have to commit 2 years with this small accounting firm..... sad.gif

hey guys, need some advice...

Yesterday, I got a job from sg company and my ep application is under process.

I'm holding a visitor pass, and I wanna go to JB this coming sat to buy some necessities. So, can I leave Singapore during this time? Will it affect my EP application ?

Thank you!

I never get 3k when I first stepped foot here. But is possible.
3.6k wayang for non-Malaysian biggrin.gif

Malaysian 2.4k also can get EP with Degree cert. Confirm + chop.

Yea it is possible maybe for another industry or those high achievers

I thought EP criteria need at least 3.6k sgd to qualify ?

MOM actually loose the requirements for Malaysian, 2.2k is enough to issue a S pass, although many company dont want coz got levy and quota

for msian they look at degree result & university rather then salary (for entry lvl).
But I think ep sp not much different though I am an ep holder.

Yea sp and ep are indifferent for us as employees, but they do matter for the companies

Hey guys, I am trying to understand the possibilities of me applying a position in accountancy firm in SG, specifically in audit assurance dept. I have not looked into details and how competitive it is but I've got a batchmate who landed a job in EY SG.

I am bound to complete the ICAEW professional stage  in a few months time. I went straight into this so I do not possess a degree qualification sad.gif

Anyone here works in audit assurance or accountancy related industry?

Hey wondering if your friend is a fresh graduate or with working experience before? Got a job from Big4 SG is not an easy thing leh...so envy dry.gif
