Args... sad to hear about that. Btw, mind to tell how long you have been working in SG?

Been almost 1/2 year now. smile.gif

QUOTE(seantang @ Apr 1 2009, 09:23 PM)
Bad luck, mate. Where do you work and how extensive is the retrenchment exercise? (if you don't mind telling us, of course).

Working in a hardware company in Boon Lay area. They are beginning to sort out workers. Last week a lady in my department was laid off. This week my turn. laugh.gif

QUOTE(chess_gal @ Apr 1 2009, 09:51 PM)
wuming,

sorry to hear that but, look at it as an opportunity to seek for greener pasture.

wanna join our gathering this weekend?

Yea, actually no future working in this company and I do not really like the boss here.

Should be no problem for the gathering but please do not treat me as an outcast. sad.gif

QUOTE(tuckparadise @ Apr 8 2009, 04:02 AM)
then why some people choose to stay in SIN?

Some choose this due to various reasons. Mainly due to convenience. It is very hectic traveling thru and flow the customs especially if the working time is not odd hours.

so lucky of u
mind to share which company is hiring malaysians?

I am not lucky. It takes courage to apply for work in Singapore without any help.

QUOTE(Chrisky @ May 6 2009, 09:56 AM)
so u wil be here over the weekend or what ? good luck for the interview.  biggrin.gif

I will come in like a SWAT team. Will bla as soon the interview is conducted.

QUOTE(topmankl @ May 6 2009, 10:06 AM)
Good luck at your interview. smile.gif

By the way how you plan to travel to Sg and back? Just for others to reference.

Also mind sharing what position is that, and your experience? Been trying to get info on Sg IT job market but to no avail...

Thanks.

Traveling by bus.

It's an IT job related to my studies. Do not give up.

QUOTE(crapp0 @ May 6 2009, 10:12 AM)
Depends on how many years of exp and in what line you previously doing and what your upcoming job scope would be.

According to a mag i read on average salary for IT personnel in singapore, a freshie like network admin will earn around 2200-3500.

If you got technical certs like CCNA, oracle cert, MCP and are a certified network engineer, system anaylst, you can command on average 3k-5k. Managerial role around 6k-10k.

The most i've heard is if your IT manager at the management level, you can command upto 120k, a month but i heard they want master for that kind of role, or twin degree in both IT and management.

Thanks. At least I have a rough idea. Previously, I was underpaid S$1600 only. Everday ikat perut.

Good news! Chrisky will have a new partner for buttseck beer.

So easy to get a job in Singaporke. I do not even follow the traditional way of going there to stay while job hunting. tongue.gif

QUOTE(crapp0 @ May 7 2009, 01:52 PM)
How much is your rent? A fren of mine earn 1600 still ok, Just that not much in savings but can survive. If ikat perut means only eating at fastfood a few times a week, then better stop eating unhealthy food.

Previously my rent is S$400.00. It's ok. I still had enough to eat and manage to save a lot. sweat.gif

Alamak, I need a place to stay in the east side. Anybody got offer? If not, tidur MRT station sajalah. doh.gif

QUOTE(Chrisky @ May 8 2009, 10:15 PM)
whas ur location ?  biggrin.gif

buttseck laugh.gif

Guess that it is back to working life in Singaporke. What to do, kena cari makan. sad.gif

Come, lets travel to Johore and rent a car there.

QUOTE(SPS @ May 9 2009, 09:53 AM)
JB more entertaining than Singapore?  Yea, only if you are a mat rempit or a thug intending to rob and rape defenseless women.

When go Johore you literal need to dress up like a thug. Janganlah dress up smart-smart. Mengundang bahaya tu.

I am going to make the work permit again tomorrow but unfortunately I have lost the picture which I took there last time. sad.gif

Must I re-spend another S$6.00 to take another picture which they will only scan? (money wasted) vmad.gif

Do they keep records on my previous picture so that I do not need to waste money for another photograph? hmm.gif
