My job is of a Business Manager and does not fall under the category of occupations that require vetting etc. then why? secondly, what are these vetting agencies? You have to remember that they advise to wait about 7-10 days anyway. Some ...

You either need to have a degree, or be very succesful in your chosen field. If you earn a lot of money, then you don't need a degree. The general criteria is demonstrating a high level of intelligence in your field. Be that through academia or work. They are one and the same thing. Just demonstrati...

Hi there, I've been studying in Singapore since 2 years and finished my degree now. I've been applying for jobs all over the place and I also got a good amount of interest. Usually they ask if I have an employment pass or if I'm a permanent resident. Once the fact emerges that I'm still on a studen...

The company that hired me, happened to mention their amazement at the number of S passes that are currently being rejected at the minute. The HR guy I speak with was telling me that he sent 5 off on one day, and all 5 were rejected within 2 hours! He was quite shocked. From what he told me, if you h...

I'm just planning to take my degree for mine when I head over.

I just kind of mean, if I decided to go into the medical, and not tell them anything about my past, there isn't anything that's going to be any problems with it.

Hi, I already have my job, visa acceptance. Basically just need to do their medical, show them my degree to seal the deal. Medically, I had to spend about 3 days in hospital, about 10 years ago, so they could diagnose a problem I was having with some of my joints. It was basically just inflammation ...

A question an employer here may ask you is: - Why are your experience and qualification so diverse? Their underlying meaning may be: - What can you bring in to our company? ---- Your diverse background and years of experience is your asset, strength, and even talent. You need to remember all that i...

Hi all, I have been scanning the boards and there seem to be some regulars with good insights . I am at crossroads at the moment, thinking of making a move to Singapore in the near future.I am in my early 30's and from Malaysia. I have recently completed a MA in Journalism from a top tier Australia...

Just wanted to say, after a long, frustrating, at times, seemingly hopeless, pursuit of trying to get a job in Singapore, I today got my EP approval from the MOM. I have to admit, the entire process was me being hugley sceptical whether it was going to get to this point, and my HR manager doing his ...

Some interesting posts, thanks for that. I'll pm you ceej with my email so you can ask your cousin if he minds getting in touch. Also stop people nicking possible agency/job links! I agree with you about just getting my cv out there and even if their not advertising keep working at it. I'm yet to c...

yes, what about earing your income by writing article online or starting a blog etc? it doesn't have to be offline. juts do a search online and find out more. good luck! ;) Earning potential for online writing ranges from 0 to next to nothing these days. Unless you can get a job with a very big web...
