I had good experiences with the fractional laser technique for scar removal. Otherwise try massages with bi-oil. It is supposed to be really good for scars, stretch marks, etc.

I fully agree with beppi but here my two cents :) : 1. How long does the probation period normally last? Three months minimum? A lot of companies do 6 months but it's really up to you. 2. Does Singaporean normally get their salary adjusted after probation? Again up to you. Some companies grant their...

As long as she is in NZ she could do an (unpaid) internship or something similar (teaching evening classes, be an assistant teacher) in order to gain some teaching experience that she could put on her CV. Otherwise I think every single school has their own requirements for teachers. Especially inter...

Google "Shipping events Singapore". You'll find a long list of all the events. Go to lots of them and try to meet people. Make sure to give them your name card with all contact information and maybe a short summary of your qualifications. Networking is the key to a job in every industry here in Sing...

I don't know where you could advertise for locals but if you are looking for expats, contact different country organisations. Most of them will have a job board for their members where you can advertise your job for free. E.g. have a look at the Job Board from the American Association of Singapore: ...

I have a Masters in English and French and 3 years of working experience in an online media...

I also absolutely hate to go shopping on Orchard Road/ION. I usually go to Raffles City (lots of Western brands), Plaza Singapura (Western and local brands) or VivoCity (mix of everything). I find these 'smaller' malls way easier to navigate since they don't ressemble a maze like ION. As for shoes I...

Hi all, I've been in Singapore for a couple of months and I am slowly losing hope of ever finding a job. Most of the job ads I find on job boards require the applicants to apply through a platform and rarely give any information on a contact person or an email address. So I fill everything out but n...

Thanks for the great advise! I've been applying like crazy in the last couple of months but never got any response. It's so frustrating. I do have a basic LinkeIn account but will def consider a Premium account now, just have to figure out how the whole keyword thing works! Apparently the AAS (Amer...
