WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO SUCCESSFULLY FIND A JOB IN SG
Hi mga Kabayan especially those na based in SG!
I'm so thankful to have discovered this site. I am here kasi I would like to ask for some tips kung pano mka apply ng work sa Singapore. Ever since, it has always been my dream to work abroad and I find SG to be one of the most convenient as it's very near the Philippines, progressive country, and of course, the money that we can earn.
I already have 6 years of experience sa Customer Care focusing sa Real Estate. I would like to know lang sana kung may chances ba na maka kita ng work sa Singapore with a tourist visa. I know na this is not the ideal way to find work pero if in case, I will take the risk. I hope you can help me find answers and give me some tips. Below po are my queries:
1. How much money do I need to prepare?
2. Based sa current status ng Singapore, maraming companies ba ang hiring? Real Estate or any firms na nag oofer ng Customer Serive jobs
3. What are the risks kung tourist visa ang gagamitin?
4. More or less mga ilang days or weeks ang processing ng application?
5. Tips kung paano mas madaling mka apply ng trabaho
I am really hoping to hear your answers. This will be of great help po.
Thank you so much in advance!

2. sa hanap mong work as CS, waley masyado. and syempre preferred ung marunong ng language nila dito. actually kht saang industry, down lahat.
3. 30 days lang allowed stay, need to exit , and walang guarantee na mkkapasok ka ult pag nagexit.
4. dpende. mula sa pagaapply online hanggang sa magkaron ng interview, hanggang sa magkajob offer, dpende sa qualifications mo yan. i would say 3wks? pero ung iba natapos na 30days ni isang intrvw, waley. pag may job offer na, pass application takes at least 3wks.
5. Online. and backread ka sa mga threads dito.
Dinidiscourage ko na nga mga friends ko magapply lalo na kung wala silang specific na skill.
Pero yung sister ko nakapag apply sya last year dito. Nagstay sya almost 3 months din. 2 lang interview nya. nakabalik na sya sa pilipinas saka lang sya nahire nung 1 naginterview sa kanya. Yung brother in law ko naman, nov last year nagpunta rin dito para magjob hunt. 2 mos pero 1 lang interview nya. umuwi ng pinas. bumalik ng april. nagkawork naman sya ng may.
Mahal pati ang lodging dito. kaya kung may friends ka or relatives na nandito, mas ok kung makikitira ka nalang.
ang ginawa namin nun, binigyan ko sister ko and brother in law ko ng sim card dito. para yun ang ilalagay nila sa CV nila. pati address ko dito sa Sg. tapos niloloadan ko nalang yun sim card nila para kapag may recruiter na tatawag masasagot nila sa pinas.
kaso usually Malaysia companies ang nagcontact sa kanila.
advise ko lang. ngayon palang magpasa pasa ka na ng cv sa mga jobseeking sites. kung 2 mos walang kumontak sayo. most likely ganyan din kapag nandito ka na sa sg.
lahat kami IT with specific skills (ako IT analyst, sister ko Info tech analyst, Brother in law ko Tester Team Lead) pero nahirapan kami talaga, mas mahirap kapag generic ang work kasi maraming competitor lalo na mga clerical, admin, customer service etc. etc.
Pero try mo pa rin. mas ok pa rin kaysa hindi sinubukan.
nasa sayo parin yan kung gusto mo tumuloy dito. swertihan lang din kasi dito..
So mga job seekers, kapit lang. Wag mawalan ng pag-asa. Andian ang Panginoon para tulungan tayo sa kung ano man ang hinihingi ng kalooban naten.
PS.
Yung work ko po is into IT Project Management. I am a certified IT Project Manager sa MNC dito sa Pinas. Ang work experience ko sa SG is Telco and Bank pero IT Project Manager po ang posisyon ko. I have 10 years relevant experience sa Project Management and lots of certifications that I have acquired and earned during the course of my career. I ensured na before ako sasabak sa SG, I have to be internationally competitive. I did that by gaining and acquiring the experiences and skill sets that I need in order for me to stand out. Hindi rin ako nag-apply sa mga position na alam ko na hindi ako qualified. Nag-apply lang ako sa mga posisyon na sa tingin ko pasok ang skill set ko. I prayed and prayed and prayed and prepared really well for my interviews. I remember during my final interview with the Asia Pacific Head and the VPs last June, I was hired on the spot. Prayer at Kapit kay Nazareno ang pinanghawakan ko.
Just to give you a heads up, mas matagal yung panahon na pinag-intay ko para makakuha ako ng Job Offer kesa yung process ng approval ng pass ko. I was hired on the Spot last June 18. Sinabi nila by that time na tanggap na ako and then they will contact me for a Job Offer. After a week, Friday to be exact, nag-email and tumawag HR na pina-process pa rin nila yung Job Offer ko and please give them some time since they need to acquire the required approvals for the offer. I got my Job Offer last July 16. Job Offer pa lang po yun, wala pang contract. Then I signed the Offer and then after 3 weeks got my Contract together with the EP Application form tapos ayun po Pass Application then Approval. Ngayon nasa stage na po ako ng relocation and hanap ng matitirahan sa SG, Kung malaking company po yan, medyo matagal po talaga ang waiting time para sa JO kasi may proseso pa po ng approval sa salary and benefits na hiningi mo sa Company. I negotiated po kasi sa salary ko kasi maganda rin po kasi yung work ko sa Pinas.
Don't worry, lalabas din po yung JO mo. After that, sobrang dasal ang gawin mo for the Pass Approval. Ako talaga nung mga days na nagiintay ako ng pass approval ko, sobrang sobrang sobrang sobra yung pagdadasal ko na wala maging problema dahil naghigpit na sila sa processing ng EP ngayon hindi kagaya nung 2010-2016, 3 days lang approved na EP ko, ngaun 12 days na. S-Pass medyo mas madali kasi need lang na tama yung sueldo mo sa dineclare na posisyon ng Company sa pass application mo at syempre yung quota ng company. Usually ang nagiging issue sa S-Pass Application is sueldo and quota unlike EP, andami nilang kailangan i-investigate. I hope na maging ok yung sayo. Just Pray po
German company sya and malaki rin business nila, may branch din dito sa PH kaya siguro matagal paglabas ng JO.
Kala ko same dito sa PH na mabilis lumabas JO.
btw, Thank you again for your response and it really helps me.
3. Pwede kang hindi palabasin ng PH IO or papasukin ng SG IO depende sa sitwasyon. Bring necessary documents. Kung may kamag-anak ka like asawa sa sg bawas yung chances mo maharang, dalhin mo lang marriage cert.
4. within 3 weeks ang sabi ni MOM, kung more than 3 weeks tapos napalitan to "pending - going through vetting agencies" (parang ganon) ay para mag-verify ng papeles mo; mas matagal pa yung hintay.
5. Padala po sa online as in lahat ng pwede mong maapplyan go lang. Upsell mo sarili mo what makes you stand out from the rest of CS people (wag mo lang ipagmalaki yung neutral accent baka sensitive sila). Hanap din nila dito yung mga hindi na kailangan idaan sa training at sabak agad. Siyempre dasal na hindi manghinayang loob.
