@Crystalpenelope - Gusto ko yan sis! Feedback naman sa job hunting mo

@xtine - Will check them! Thank you

[Crystalpenelope]

@xtine and 05149S2 - nagstart na rin ako online. pero parang ang konti ng available job hiring.  pagpunta ko jan plan ko ipagpatuloy sana pero ia-update ko muna ang contact number at address ko.

[05149S2]

^ I'm having difficulty finding jobs online na related sa course ko If ever, are you staying with someone sa SG or ikaw lang mag isa sis?

[Crystalpenelope]

^andun ang brother ko. pero meron akong ibang iistayan kasi strict ang tenant ng brother ko. ayaw ng me kasama.  i will go there next week na. ikaw?

[05149S2]

^ So far online pa lang at ang nipis ng chances. No plans to move to SG yet haha.

By any chance, is there a possibility for a freshgrad to be hired in any accounting/finance position in SG? TIA sa replies. 

[xtine]

^Sis, in all honesty, mahirap dito ang admin jobs simply because kaya ng local graduate dito ang accounting. 

May friend ako dito sa current job ko na pinay at epass holder.  Sa accounting sha nag wowork pero nanganganib na sila.  Talagang skilled worker ang hanap nila na may speciality talaga. 

As I have said over and over You can try to look for monster.com.sg and jobstreet.com.sg and jobsdb.com.sg to see if your role is specifically for singaporean locals and PRs lang or pwede ang foreign talent.

Mga sis, Do you have any ideas kung madami bang BPO companies na hiring sa SG? What's the range of salary kaya? TIA. 

[streetsmartgirl]

^Hi margauxkhloe, as far as i know wala masyado. Kung meron man they prefer someone who can speak mandarin. Although pag tumatawag ako sa banks like DBS/POSB, usually pinoy mga customer service. Pero di malaki ang market dito for BPO compared to Manila or India. Mataas din ang starting salary dito compared kung i-outsource nila dyan or India.

Nagaantay ako na magkaron man lang ng ad for interior designer ang singapore sa jobstreet or workabroad pero wala.. Puro Dubai..

Anyone who can recommend me? Hindi ko kasi kaya na magpunta ng Singapore tapos tsaka magjob hunt wala ako funds for that. Hindi rin kasi ko makahanap ng job dito sa Philippines.. 3 years na akong nagttyaga sa current job ko

[angel..]

^Kung ang goal mo talaga ay magwork sa Singapore, patience lang sa paghahanap. I know that there are pinoy interior designers here. Nung nagview ako ng rooms dati, sa isang unit na tiningnan ko ang sabi sakin yung isang nago-occupy ng room interior designer. At ang interior designer ng boss ko ngayon sa bagong bahay nya pinoy din. Yun nga lang, mukhang di ganun kadami ang availability ng open position sa ganyang trabaho kaya tsambahan lang din siguro. Good luck

sis if you have account na as linkedin here in pinas, how can you go to linkedin SG? am i going to sign up again? or can used the existing login?

[bubbles_sandy]

hi sisses, im also planning to work in SG. Im currently in a BPO industry, tapos 3 weeks ago I took a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification  in IIL Singapore. Higher ba ang chance if you have certifications?

[krabby_patty]

Do you think applying online with a CV stating my PH address and PH mobile number would decrease the chances of employers contacting me? Better ba if I put my friend's SG address? I don't want to misrepresent my current location 

I'm from the finance and banking industry. I see a lot of vacancies online so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I was in SG just last week and parang konting konti nalang ang nakita kong Pinoys. Looks like they really "nationalized" the work force. And nagulat din ako because everything is so expensive!

For those professionals who seek jobs in Singapore.  They have started the strict approval of passes now especially for those who are new (non renewal):

http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/passes-visas/Pages/default.aspx

"From 1 August 2014, as part of the Fair Consideration Framework, firms that wish to hire Employment Pass (EP) holders must first advertise that position in the Singapore Workforce Development Agency’s Jobs Bank. The advertisement must be open to Singaporeans, comply with the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices and run for at least 14 calendar days. EP applications which do not meet this advertising requirement will not be accepted. - See more at: http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/passes-visas/Pages/default.aspx#sthash.qYn57wHr.dpuf"

very strict talaga ngayon sa SG.

[streetsmartgirl]

To be honest,  I wouldn’t advise na magpunta ngayon dito sa SG to look for a job. Every year mas mahirap makahanap ng work dito. Pero may mga industries din naman na madali lang makapasok like sa construction. I can say this because sa mga Pinoy kong officemates inabot lang sila ng less than a month bago nakakuha work. And my work pass just got renewed after 2 days of application.

My bf naman who is in IT industry pahirapan maghanap ngayon. Matatapos na kase contract ng company nya sa client nila at contract employee lang din sya, so naghahanap na sya ngayon ng malilipatan. Naka 4 interviews na sya  pero no luck pa din. May 3 years working experience na sya dito sa SG. At pansin ko din basta IT jobs mostly contractual talaga swerte pag nakahanap ng permanent position.
