Pero ganun pa man kung ikaw ay in line sa construction, architecture, interior design at IT. I think malaki ang chance mo. Based yan sa mga set of friends ko at mga experience ng friends nila na nahandito. Given na meron kang kabog na experience.


I think yung industry na yun kasi medyo onti pa ang pinoy (relatively) dito sa Singapore.. Pinoys are more of in the Service and Retail industry and meron rin guidelines ang MOM diba kung saan industry pwede ang Pinoy.. like for example... (Please double check with MOM, im not sure of the details but my mom is in HR dept so sa kanya ko nakukuha yung mga info) You cannot apply a Pinoy for a Work Permit under a Service/Retail/F&B industry ata.. Kasi for this "ethnic group/race" You can only apply work permit in Construction, Health.. and also, for F&B/Retail/Manufacturing industry - Pinoys must be equivalent to S Pass or higher..

The salary is 2,000SG. Is it e-pass?

depende sis minsan kasi hindi lang naman salary ang basehan. like i said on my previous post pwedeng ma-approve ang E-Pass kahit below the minimum salary provided na kilala yung school mo or nasa list nila, pangkabog ang years of experience mo at yung course mo or profession ay bihira pa dito.
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out. :P

may alam po ba kayong mga agency kung saan pwede mag pass ng resume pa-Sg?and gusto ko na rin ask paano bang mangyayari if nahanap ka ng job sa Sg ng Agency..may parte ba sa salary mo?saka magkano [textspeak!] placement fee na babayaran?TIA po..wala kasi sumasagot sa email ni hubby..yung mga sumagot hindi sila magkasundo sa salary..so parang gusto niya maghanap ng agency nagpapatulong rin sa akin kasi pag sa office siya nag search baka raw makarating sa boss nila..

i had several friends working in SG.. Some of them galing sa agency.. they paid 1-2kSGD for fee para lang makapasok sa work.. but ang salary naman kasi nila is malaki then IT Servers.. nasa more 100k converted to php peso ang salary.. may iba naman every cut off ang bawas.. 300SGD ata? minimal na yun.. ano ba work ng husband mo? puno nadin ang workforce (foreigners) ng SG ngayon so mahirap na talaga maghanap ng work lalo na kung common naman talaga ang qualities ng isang applicant.. kung hindi ka sa IT field, tingin ko mahihirapan talaga.. maghihigpit na ang MOM sa JULY as per dun sa mga kakilala ko..

IMHO, di siya gaano indemand sa SG. Boom na kasi ang Infra business kahit san.. ang madalas needed nila ngayon ay trend ng CLOUD Computing Consultant, Network Engineer, System Administrator, Software Engineers/Programmers, Database and Storage Engineer.. basta nakalinya dyan ang indemand sa SG. :)

Hello mga sisses, nagtatanggap ba sila ng pinoy na pwedeng mag work sa Hotel at Resto? My 2 friends went to SG as a tourist then hanap din ng work. Ayun sila may work na agad. :) Sana meron pa.

hi sis, im also a licensed electrical engineer, unfortunately walang Reciprocity Agreement between Singapore and Philippines kaya walang bisa ang PRC License dito sa SG. his salary offer will depend on his years of work experience based sa observation ko sa construction industry dito  :)
Ah, EE ka rin pala sis. :) Galing! Sis, may vacant ba dyan sa pinagwoworkan mo?  Si brother kasi nagwowork siya ngayon sa construction industry din.  Balak niya pumunta ng SG next year siguro.  Salamat sa sagot sis. :D
Keep Smiling. :)

^mababa na nga yan sa ngayon eh kasi yung mga bagong hire na pinoy na kasama namin around 170K daw ang placement fee nila  :o


@ultimate_style hindi ko lang alam if kailanagan pa nila ng mga tao ngayon kasi dumating na yung mga hired from Pinas though madami daw nag-back out na kasabayan nila sa interview dahil sa taas ng placement fee. as of now nasa engineering stage pa lang yung project namin mostly yung nasa Tender Department gaya namin ang dineploy sa Project pero baka pag nagsimula na ang construction at installation by 2014 baka maghire ulet sila ng madami  :)

@pregnantgirl: sa tingin ko nasagot na yung mga katanungan mo :)

pero di ko magets ang ibang mga naghahanap ng work sa SG.. di makatarungan yung placement fee. may iba kasi napipirata pa from Pinas para magwork sa SG.. wala naman placement fee. so ayun. :)


kung ang husband mo sis maraming qualities (like IT certifications and solid experience) na kailangan sa SG.. di nyo na siguro kailangan ng placement fee.. mukhang di kakayanin eh.. tsaka pregnant ka ata.. mahirap mabuhay dun pag mababa lang income nyo.. mahal ang gamot at opistal dun.. pati nga Salon eh.. hehe

Try monster.com.sg

Sa experience ko, mas maraming nagrespond sa applications ko nung nagpost ako ng cv sa monster.

Will try sa monster :)
plan ko din sana lumipat ng SG if ever... I used to work in China pero nag-quit na ako sa job, badtrip kase napasukan kong company :(
