  • Itago mo na lang yan kasi baka maging collectibles pa yan sa mga darating na panahon. Lalaki pa monetary value nyan. hehehe ....

    @qwaszx , pwedeng pang magasto , kung ako sayo itago nalang, Or dalhin mo dito palitan ko ng $2 SGD. hehe. malaki na yung rate ko.
  • @AhKuan @carpejem ay ganun ba. Haha. Sige po tatago ko nalang po muna. Incase nalang kulangin. Haha. Thank you po hehe
  • Hello! Again. Just want to verify what would be a better option

    1. Scan all documents [birth certificafe, NBI, TOR, diploma, resume, certificates] and then send to a different email. Print nalang pag dating sa SG. Tas if ever need ng employer ng original, to follow nalang.

    2. Pag dating sa singapore, pa courier na namin mga original docs sa address namin.


    .....

    Another question.. what we have prepared so far is coe, nbi, birth cert, diploma, tor, certificates. May kulang pa po ba? Exactly 10 days to go na po yung flight namin kaya mejo naninigurado na hehe sensya na po
  • Hello, nun inapply ako ng employment pass last May, di ako hiningan ng original copies. Lahat sinend ko through email. I just scanned everything and saved them in Google drive. I made sure to delete the app when I was in NAIA, just in case icheck ng IO ang phone ko (pero di naman chineck).

    1. Diploma (high school and college and/or master's/phd - important na merong english translation lahat ng documents mo especially diploma. So ipagawa mo na now kung wala pa).
    2. Transcript of records
    3. Updated CV (dapat kumpleto details ng employment history, character reference, etc)
    4. If married, your spouse's diploma (even though the spouse is not relocating to SG)
    5. Passport details page
    6. Relevant training certificates

    Yun iba like NBI or Birth Cert di naman hiningi pero magandang scan mo na rin.

    Goodluck. By the way, in my case nagfocus ako magapply directly sa mga companies instead of recruitment agencies. Mga recruiters kasi i think nirereject agad kung hindi ka local or resident. In jobstreet for example, pwede mo filter ang search results according to Recruiter or Direct company. Tapos go directly din sa websites ng mga companies like Google or Apple etc. Try to send at least 70 applications per day, bihira (or wala) ang walk-in applications so spend your entire day sending applications online. Isama nyo na sa applications nyo ang Kuala Lumpur. Wag masyado magdala ng maraming business attire dahil gagamitin nyo lang yun sa interview. Di naman everyday may interview kayo.

    Goodluck ulit.
  • for the sim card, piliin mo yun regular sim card wag yun tourist sim cards dahil 10 days lang yata validity nun mga yun.

    This is what i bought

  • @qwaszx okay na yan . wag mo din kalimutan Passport mo hehehe
  • @carlofrcentral

    Hi sir! Thank you so much for replying and helping us newbies! Super appreciated!

    I just have a few follow up questions kung okay lang? Dumb questions lang...

    Yung resume ko po ba pwede na syang CV or completely different ang format ng CV?

    Nawawala na po yung highschool diploma ko. As per your list, required din sya. Pwede kaya humingi sa school ko? Nakuu ang tagal na din kasi. Haha.

    Sinama nyo po sa job applications nyo KL? Ilang weeks po kayo bago nakahanap? Hhehe.

    Thanks so much po ulit. Godbless po.

    @carpejem

    Hi sir thanks so much. Actually almost everything naka ready na except for the passport. Buti nalang nabannggit nyo lol

    Same lang format nun resume at CV i think. Basta andun yun detailed work experience (position, company name, employment date, reason for leaving, job description at achievements), education, trainings/certification at character reference.

    Oo, hiningan ako ng HS diploma para sa employment pass application. Magrequest ka na now para hindi madelay ang pagkuha mo ng employment pass kung sakaling matanggap ka. Kung di umabot sa flight mo, ipakuha mo na lang sa kamag-anak tapos picturan nila tapos email sayo.

    Oo sinama ko KL para kung sakaling di matanggap sa SG, meron akong options.

    Nagsimula kasi ako magapply online nung nasa Pinas pa ako. Nag initial interview na ako (skype) sa Pinas tapos nung pumasa, nagdecide na ako lumipad sa SG para dito ko na iituloy yun application. After 1 week may job offer na. Tapos another 2 weeks, nakuha ko na employment pass ko.

    Pero a year ago (late 2015), nagstay din ako sa SG for 1 month pero wala nangyari. Maski isang tawag or email or interview, wala.
  • @carlofrcentral Thank you so much! Kulang pa pala ako ng character references, I will add it now. And sige po I will request na din a highschool diploma. Sana umabot haha.

    Mas okay din talaga kung sa pinas palang nag apply na ano. Sige po thanks for all the advices. Super appreciated! Godbless po
  • Hi ask ko lang po kung magpapapalit ng money sa mga forex need pa ba ng passport, airline tickets... etc? Or pwede kahit money lang dala namin
  • @qwaszx sa Pinas lang ata . Dito sa Singapore hindi naman
  • Ahhh oki po thanks po!!!
  • Hi @qwaszx anong naging balita sa job hunting m?
  • @Unnie hi paalis pa lang po ko in 3 days hehe. I will keep u updated
  • Just arrived in sg po. Whatever happens, thank you Lord.
  • Question po.

    Yung lola ko po kasi pinatawagan nya ako sa kanya once i arrive here. Hindi sya marunong mag messenger etc. Hindi sya marunong mag internet at all. At ayaw din nyang matuto.

    Sbi ng taga airport, dial 190 and then country code tapos number ng lola ko. Pero lagi ko lang po narerecieve wrong nunber daw? May alam po ba kayo na tamang code? Wla po ba akong load? May mali ba ko ginagawa? Sensha na po
  • @qwaszx welcome SG. Congratulations you passed IO. Anung gamit mo? If singtel - 019plus yung number 63___
  • Opo singtel po tinatry ko po lagi yan as per singtel prepaid website din pero wala nangyayari. Anyway thanks po. Sumuko na po lola ko at mag viber na sya wahhahaha.

    Yung sa IO naman, sobrang daming tao nung sept 1 around 5am. Di ko sure kung lagi ba talagang matao sa IO. But surprisingly walang tinanong sakin. Tinignan lang boarding pass, passport, tapos tinanong lang ako of first time ko to travel and ayun tapus na. Haha. Handang handa pa naman ako. Andami ko dala. Hahaha. Mga coe, payslip, universal studios tix, hotel booking, itinerary, property title.. hahahaha. Sinwerte lang talaga.

    May tumawag sa akin kanina morning kaso nung nalaman na non singaporean at PR, umatras. So yeah, hindi talaga madali. We will still do our best! Salamat po
  • Baka naman wala ka na top-up balance. Btw, on your Job hunting, Always wear no doubt, be patient and persistent. God bless
  • Sana makahanap ka kagad @qwaszx .. :) ung mga newspaper mo wag kang papahuli... :wink: abangers na din ako sa success story mo... - aspiring OFW din ako.. haha charot...

  • Welcome to SG @qwaszx Good luck!
  • Welcome to SG @qwaszx!!! All the Best!!!
  • Hello po @ezzy and @AhKuan, thanks so much!!! Means a lot!
  • Update: mahirap nga talaga mag hanap ng work dito. Out of 50 direct employers na nilista ko at tinawagan. Take note. Yung 50 na yun, na make sure ko na na hindi lang singaporeans ang hanap nila ah, 7 lang ang may quota. Kaloka. Haha.

    Still not losing hope! I am now on my 5th day. Hehe.
  • @qwaszx welcome and Goodluck.. 50 minimum application per day online.. kahit paulit ulit araw araw..
  • Update: I had my first interview today at Kent Ridge as customer service executive. They offered me WP, with 2,000sgd salary. 12 hours work, one day off. Mataas ba ang ere ko kapag hindi ko sya tinaggap? Huhu. Spass po kasi sana gusto ko. One week palang naman ako siguro naman may makikita pa ako. Ayoko lang din karmahin. Advise naman mga kababayan... sensya na. Ayoko lang magkamali.
