hey guys..i just got a question about working in singapore
I just graduated with my bachelors degree and I'm thinking of looking for a job in SG but I see a lot of job ads stating that only singaporeans or singaporean PR are only eligible to apply. But since my dad has PR status, can he help me apply for it too as a dependent so it'll be easier for me to look for jobs? He said that i might risk getting drafted into NS if he applies for me..so thats the only thing he's worried about.
Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

QUOTE(Joshua_0718 @ Sep 24 2008, 04:49 PM) No worries. Just apply those job even stated singaporean or SPR. My job requirement also stated singaporean and have car transport. Me? I am Malaysian and without car transport. Still I got the job due to the skills I have. But many jobs that I applied turned me down, due to the requirement they stated. I have eventually send out my resume to 300+ company.  PR and Citizen is different. Citizen require you to join NS. Unless your dad from PR change to Citizen. Then you have to go to NS. Your dad help you to apply PR? Can, no problem, what it will take some time, let's say 3 months? Can you afford for being jobless for 3 months+? Don't forget the period of looking for a job. Economy isn't good now actually, many company trying to cut cost, came out in the newspaper. Anyway, Good Luck.
