Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

Thanks for the advice. I didn't buy a premium account but I did enhance my profile. Soon 2 headhunters approached me and I'm getting a new job next year :) Not in Singapore or anywhere abroad but much better than the previous one. Anyway, I think LinkedIn is giving a "bonus" for those who change som...

That is very interesting subject. Many companies around the world prepares offer for candidate, then expects to quit old job without signing a contract (but with a promise to do so). If the company changes its mind, the candidate is left with nothing. Is it a rule for Singapore? It happened to me in...

Having said that, right now the situation is the company flies me to Asia every month & on average, each trip costs $A5k. So the company stands to save quite a bit by relocating me here. I believe that you should get AT LEAST $A5k more for relocating. As far as I understand your current job is most...

Just for the convenience of a reader (it is pretty common in my working environment). I guess it save...

Thank you for your answer! And sorry for being pushy - I guess I lost hope in August. Would you please be so kind and clarify two more things? 1. I believed that getting a work pass was pretty much about finding a job first and proving one way or another, that I am of a value for Singaporean Economy...

seriously? nothing?

Hey!

Does anyone have a clue about things I asked? Maybe just about type/size of companies that most expats you know work for (p. 3)?

That would be really helpful.

Hey! I am new to this forum but I went through the posts about jobs. What I got (correct me if I am mistaken) is that basically it is not easy to get a job since citizens of Singapore are first choice. But when you get a job you might get the advantage (higher salary) of being foreigner and especial...
