Hi all,

As you guys know with the recent swine flu outbreak in Mexico. Parkway Shenton Pte Ltd has been appointed as the medical service provider conducting the screening at all border checkpoints - Changi Airport, Woodlands Checkpoint, Tuas Checkpoint and all Seaports and Cruise Centers.

So, our company need a lot of manpower (Healthcare Assistant and nurses). If you have friends or anyone looking to earn some money (no experience needed for Healthcare assistant), please visit our websites for more details. The positions will be on a temporary or part-time basis, with a possibility of conversion to full-time contract terms.

All participants in this project will play a very important and critical role in the Ministry of Health's national defence plan.

erm.... I think you should target other countries... Starhub's call back to Msia is cheaper than local call charges... not sure about SingTel though...

Singtel 109 charged SGD$5/month with unlimited call to around 20 countries, including Malaysia. Only charge local call fees.

I think first time is 5 years, second onwards you can renew for longer as my friend renew it last year to 10 years.

Is singapore rental is reducing? Quite hardly to feel it though.

there is no more renewal for 10years. only 5 years now.

Well, during the interview, my interviewer, who is also a managing director aka my boss looks very down to earth to me... For that whole 2hrs+ interview  sweat.gif , he makes sure that I understand my job scope and duties. For the last 30mins, he showed me the entire office and briefly introduce the staffs.

No matter how humble he is during the interview, he still the BIG BIG boss, and I'll can only find out his true characteristic once I start work.
Thanks all for your kind words. ya, what you guys said are right! I should not be comparing my salary with my singaporean friends who are also in the same industry. Come to think of it, it's better this way as I dont want to create jealousy among my few singaporeans friends.

By the way, I was really surprised that average rental for a HDB with 3 rooms costs $2k per month. That's why I was questioning whether my salary is on the low side. My younger brother who just got a pre-employment offer letter with a civil engineering company upon graduating, also get $2.8K per month!!!!  doh.gif But he's a NUS student. So maybe he is entitled for higher pay...

it really depends on the market demand. If you are in a market with high demand, it's time to jump ship if others are giving a better deal.
