  • @mariaklara sounds hindi po kayo masaya? Bakit po kayo nagtagal sa SG? Ano po ayaw nyo sa SG?
  • @qwaszx nabalitaan mo na ba yung about sa pagvovolunteer na magteach ng English sa Thailand or Vietnam, tas free ung titirhan and food? Pwede din siguro option yun kapag mageexit, less gastos :D
  • Ano na kaya ngyari Kay qwaskzx, I'm following this thread.
  • oo nga. kamusta ka na sis @qwaszx? Hope everything is fine.
  • Kahit papaano yung case ni @qwaszx is good news padin. Good luck po kung nasaan man kayo ngayon :)

    Sa mga tumitingin ng thread at nagtatanong ng same question, "Finding a job in 2017. Is it harder?"
    It was never easier or harder to find a job here in Singapore (at least simula ng naghigpit sila sa foreign talents since 2009-2010). Nasa experience, qualifications, and determination niyo po yan. Kung maganda po ang experience niyo at determined talaga kayo maghanap ng work dito, makakahanap at makakahanap kayo ng trabaho. :wink:
  • Busy na siguro sa work si @qwaszx
  • waaah! from page 1 up to the last binasa ko talaga..anu na kaya nangyari sa pass nya? I will also try my luck early next year. Thank you po sa lahat na nagbigay ng insights nila sa thread na to. Napaka helpful po sa gaya ko

    You still have time to build up your resume and skills. Ano pong specialization nyo? Goodluck!
  • IT (hardware) grad po ako pero ang experience ko is almost 2yrs as SEO (more like Digital Marketing), and 4 yrs sa Feb as Operations Officer sa isang manning agency.

    last September, nagbakasyon ako sa SG and to visit din ung bf kong nagwowork sa isang airline company. 5days lang stay ko. Ngaun, napagisip isip ko na gusto ko na ipursue ung paghahanap ng work sa SG. Ang worry ko, since sa Feb 2018 matatapos na ung 3mos hand over ko sa office (policy nila), paano po pag hanapan ulit ako ng company ID anung sasabihin ko? since palalabasin ko na mag tour ulit ako, baka mahuli na ko na iba agenda ko :(
    nung umalis kasi ako na magisa, hinanapan ako ng IO dito, tapos okay na.
  • @alexandria15 if you want, you can report na sa company mo na nawala yung ID mo. But still, having a Company ID does not assure you of clearance sa IO. They might look for other relevant info like COE, payslips, bank records, or even ask you to call your superior.
  • Musta and san ka na po @qwaszx ..
    isa na ako sa mga nka abangers dito. Hehehe.
  • busy na siguro sa work! just wait
  • sa lahat ng abangers kay @qwaszx (including me) let's all hope and pray na lang din that everything went well for her :)
  • @qwaszx grabee pang telenovela yong story ng experiences nyo... hope you are okay and sana maganda naging kapalaran nyo..... nabasa ko from beggining to end..

    Hi! Omg. Ang tagal na nitong naiwan kong thread. Pasensya na po at medyo madami nangyari sakin simula nung nag stop ako mag reply dito.

    Ito po honestly ang nangyari sakin.

    Nakuha po ako sa work with 2,200 SGD salary pero hindi po naaprove ng MoM. Nag appeal po agad si employer at ginawang 2,600 SGD ang salary. Habang naghihintay nagpunta po muna kami ni bf sa Bangkok.

    Tumigil po ako magreply dito kasi si employer nangungulit na bumalik na daw ako sa SG kasi kailangan ko na daw po magwork kahit pending appeal pa. Sa mga nabasa ko dito noon, mahirap po talaga makabalik sa SG ng may pending appeal pero nagrisk ako at nagstop na ako magbasa dito kasi alam kong papagalitan nyo lang ako. Sa awa ng Diyos nakapasok naman kami ulit ni bf ng Singapore. Nagstart po ako magwork with pending appeal. Sabi po ng employer at nung pinoy din na nagwowork dun, okay lang daw yung ginagawa ko. So pinaniwalaan ko po sila at nagwork lang ako.

    Pero after 2 days na nagwowork ako, nagkaron po ako ng takot kasi sinabi ng tito ko na nagwowork din sa SG, mahirap daw gumawa ng ganyan sa SG. Which I know naman na totoo. Kaya po umalis po ako sa work ko after 2 days na nagwork doon. Tinatawagan pa ako ng employer nun na bumalik ako sa kanya kaso I told them na kailangan ko muna ng proper SPASS or proper visa.

    Hindi ko na po alam ang nangyari after that. Tinignan ko di naman na approve. Di ko alam kung nacacancel ba nila yung appeal or di lang talaga naaaprove. Sorry po kung may nagawa akong mali sa part ng pag alis ko sa employer pero I think ok lang naman yun kasi wala pa naman ako proper visa from the employer.

    After all that happened, bumalik nalang po kami sa Bangkok at dito po kami naghanap ng work ng bf ko.
    It wasn't easy din dito pero mas maluwag ang government nila. Nag-aral po muna kami pareho for 1 month para macertify as English Teachers. After that nakakuha ako ng work days after. Salary is lower than what I can get sa SG, approx 50-60k php, pero cost of living is lower sobra. So parang same lang. Mas maganda lang talaga sa SG. Si bf naman nakakuha din ng work 2 months after. We are both happily working here in Bangkok in our respective schools and we are planning on staying here for 4-6 more years. Pag teacher kasi kasi dito ang dami sobrang holidays and school breaks so nakakauwi kami sa pinas 4x a year. Tapos tig 1 month ang duration - all paid. Unlike nung contract ko noon sa SG 6 days a week, 7 days annual leave lang yata yun if I remembered correctly.

    I am still very thankful sa SG experience namin, 2 months din kami naghanap ng work, na explore yung SG, nakakilala ng mabubuti at medyo mabubuti na Pilipino. It's an experience we will never forget. Siguro hindi lang talaga kami meant to be for SG, and we are grateful for that. Kasi kung natuloy SG ko edi ako lang sana may work at si bf umuwi sana sa Pinas tapos LDR sana kami. Siguro blessing in disguise na rin. We will still come back to SG with our families for tour and travel purposes nalang. Sg will always have a place in our hearts.

    PS. Salute po sa inyong mga Filipino na nagwowork ngayon sa SG at sa mga job hunters na nagbabalak palang pumunta sa SG. My advice lang is kapag kaya nyo emotionally and financially, go lang ng go kasi you'll never know how far you can you go. Minsan masusurprise nalang kayo sa kung nasan kayo. Just always pray din po and stay positive!!

    Thanks for reading. I hope you have a great year ahead :)
