hey guys,

i am working in a VOIP company in Singapore. i am looking for a group of people who is interested to become our focus group. Our service is different from Skype or normal calling card. essentially, we will give you an adaptor to connect to you broadband. Once connected, you can start to call from the landphone. In addition to that, we are giving a free mobile call back together with this trial.


What you will get:

You get to try out our service for free for 3 months.

in short: It will means you get to call home for free la.
Thru both homeline or mobile line ( Free call back)

What we get:
Your testimonial and feedback on the service. Most important is that if your testimonial is chosen to become our marketing material, we will give you the additional perks.

What makes you qualify :


a. You have a broadband at home ( singapore la, mobile broadband cannot)
b. You have a phone at home.
C. You call overseas frequently : ie: to Malaysia , US, Canada, hong Kong, china or other countries listed in our website.

alternatively,

if you have family in malaysia who has a broadband, you can install this service at home. Then they call u in singapore will be unlimited, and you can call to their number ( yes, you will get a new landline number starts with 3156XXX) It;s a Singapore Local Line.

If you are interested, please contact me etang@italkbb.com or if you have friends who you think might be interested, please ask them to contact me too.

This is a newly launched service in singapore. Now, we are giving away for free 1st month trials and 60 days return back guarantee. if u need to reduce your call charges, just drop me an email.

You can arrange to come to pick up at our office ( near little india MRT) or we can arrange it to be deliver to your home and teach you how to install it.

SG food very bad meh? that day i went there, the foodcourt is so-so lo. Not to say extremely bad or what

Actually how you guys spend your weekend ar? Most of the job in SG is 5-day week rite? so how you spend the weekends when you are not going back to MSIA?

btw, anyone knows when is the next PC fair in SG?

even though i am supposed to work 5 days a week, i usually work on weekends as well without OT... T_T

i just got a job in singapore as an engineer with 1~2 years working experience in telco field. My starting pay is SGD$2,700. Is it enough to cover my expenses and still able to save???

Is SG$2,700 to low??

2.7k is pretty okay, more than enough. PLus current market like this, you cant get any better than this. which company btw?

hi chess_gal

when they offer $2.7k, i thought it's standard salary point for engineer with 1~2years of experience. But then when I ask some of my singapore friends with the same level of experience, their salary are $3K - $3.5K.....

That's why i would like to know whether i should accept their offer or not...

Their salary package has NO other allowance. But if travel offshore, got $60 per day allowance. In-land travel, for example to JB, is $30 per day. Meal and accommodation is covered if travel.

OT is around $40/hour or 1.5% of the salary. Maximum capped at 30hours per month.

how much does it cost? What's the startup fee? what's the name of the company?

is it cheaper than starhub's 8 cents per minute calls back to Msia???

Ask your friends if their company is still hiring. It's always funny how your friends' companies always pay more but never have any vacancies when you ask.

Anyway, no harm taking the 2.7K offer, come to Sg, get your PR, and then if you find out you're really underpaid... go get yourself another job here. Just make sure you don't sign a bond or something.

ok...thanks for the advise. i really want to get out of malaysia and head for singapore for a career change.

juz do it.

2.7k is surely more than enough for ur living expense here.

Don't compare with Singaporean..
Don't compare with those grad with local University (NUS /NTU) or those come back from Oversea.

For a fresh grad / a young engineer with a few year of experience, the starting salary is definitely lower compared to a local Singaporean. Unless you are Ang Moh with many Years of experience. There is quota on how many Foreigner a company can employ for every local citizen employee they have.
Male Singaporean might have some NS allowance. And those company will pay higher for those who grad from NUS/NTU compare to those grad from Malaysia local Uni.
The reason ppl employ foreign worker is... Cheaper.. if you are not cheaper, why should they get you instead of those local citizen?

Btw, the OT package sounds quite ok what.

Assuming you work all the 30hrs, your extra pay will be $1200. That's 45% or almost half your basic.

And if you add it all up, your overall pay per month is $3900. That's more than your Sg friends already.

But some poster in the Jobs and Careers sub-section claims that RM7,000 can be earned by any fresh graduate in the oil and gas industry.

ooh, it is called PC show izzit. Sorry I'm not so clear. thanks for the info anyway. I'll try and google using these keywords instead. thanks!

The PC Show

i think there actually some other IT related fairs like SITEX, juz like in older days KL used to hav Microfest and PC Fair.
