Admin

Hi @ianne hindi ko masasabi marami pero meron kung sa meron. kung hindi ka aware lately medyo hindi maganda economy ng SG kaya medyo hirap makahanap ng work, even sa mga PRs.

Vincent17

Hi sir/mam , I am currently here sa pinas and landed a job there in singapore pero still waiting pa po sa approval from MOM ng sg. Ask ko lang po sana if may needed documents ako kunin from POEA na kelangan ni immigration during the flight to SG? Thanks.

@neonballroom hello! na-key in na ba sa MOM yung application mo? Ilang days na pending for approval?
If lalabas ka "officially" as OFW, need mo pumunta sa POEA with passport, IPA, Job Contract. Ibibigay sayo yung process: magre-register ka as OWWA member (may payment din), magpapa-medical exam, magbabayad ng Philhealth fees and magaattend ng PDOS.

neonballroom

@arvs0z hi. Thanks for the information. Actually kakapasa ko lng nung mga requirements na hininge ni employer and i guess d pa na key in sa MOM. Do you have an idea kung magkano ung fees sa pag process sa POEA. Mejo worried kaso ako pag pumasok ako as tourist. Thanks.

equinox09

@neonballroom eto yung nakita ko sa website nila:
POEA processing fee : US$100.00 or PHP equivalent
OWWA membership fee : US$25.00 or Php equivalent
Plus yung medical exam fee (I think reimbursable naman dapat sa company mo ito)

Nandito yung complete list ng requirements and fees: http://www.poea.gov.ph/services/workers/doc_namehire.pdf

Good luck! Balitaan mo kami sa result ng application mo

@arvs0z thanks.

@Admin sa WEB po ako, Front End, tpos may konting exp din po sa SQL, Multimedia stuff pwede din po,

So update lang, I just got home from SG and a couple of things I learned:

1. Trend daw ngayon is mobile and Java
2. Totoo nga na mahirap humanap ng oct-dec na panahon
3. After chinese new year daw is ung best time na mag jobhunt
(Paki correct or reply nlng if you have different insights about these things)

I am worried about:

1. Bakit yung iba kahit nsa pinas pa may tmtwag or nag rrespond ng employer?(dahil ba pangit lang ung months na nagaapply ako or bka dahil sa experience ko or bka dahil hindi INDEMAND ung skills ko?)
2. Is it best na maghintay lang tlga muna sa pinas?(pero I am planning to resign na then 1 month ako don magjobhunt then pg wla pa ,extend(pwede ba tlga?magbabayad lang?sabi ng kakilala ko).

@adrix16
Ilang days ka sa SG? Not to let you down, pero I have a friend na nag apply (Web dev din pero heavy sa PHP/HTML5/CSS, Apache/Tomcat, IIS a.k.a backend) last November and pabalik na sa SG para mag start.

1. Most probably sa experience yan (and how you reflect it sa resume mo). Ilang years ka na ba sa field mo? Siguro if less than 2-3 years, I would suggest na work on building your experience further sa PH. Kasi marami kang ka-kompetensya na fresh grads and junior level sa SG. Kung makakuha ka ng Senior na title, mas madadalian ka maghanap, I assume.
2.a Mas okay kung makakahintay ka sa Pinas, para pag dating mo sa SG, may assurance ka na may interview session ka (for me, pinaka important yung ma-interview ka personally).
2.b Try mo mag job hunt online sa PH for 1 month, tapos pag wala and decided ka na talaga, punta ka na sa SG. Though you will have to consider yung time din kasi baka need mo pang mag serve ng notice period.
2.c Nope, hindi nababayaran ang extension ng Social Visit Visa. You can try to apply for an e-extension for free (though di kadalasan na naa-approve).

1. Bakit yung iba kahit nsa pinas pa may tmtwag or nag rrespond ng employer?(dahil ba pangit lang ung months na nagaapply ako or bka dahil sa experience ko or bka dahil hindi INDEMAND ung skills ko?)
- Hindi mo pwede i-pattern sayo ang kapalaran ng ibang tao. Walang garantiya na porket may mga na hire recently na pinoy eh maha-hire din ang ibang naghahanap.
- May mga companies/recruiter na sa SG lang naghahanap, may mga willing maghanap outside SG, iilan lang ang mga yon, at nung naghanap sila hindi naman guarantee na lahat ng resume ng applicant na nasa Pinas eh nakita nila, malamang hindi nila nakita yung sayo.
- Tama ka din na posibleng hindi sapat yung experience mo kaya hindi ka na shortlist.

2. Is it best na maghintay lang tlga muna sa pinas?(pero I am planning to resign na then 1 month ako don magjobhunt then pg wla pa ,extend(pwede ba tlga?magbabayad lang?sabi ng kakilala ko).
- Walang best time or season to apply, only best skills and experience with a little dash of Luck.

@arvs0z released na ung IPA ko just need to fly to singapore nlng to start sa work. I just have some questions regarding entering sg as a tourist.

My plan is to enter as a tourist and dun ko nalang process ung mga documents ko. Scenario is my RT ticket ako and my accommodation na din sa hotel. Sabay kami ni gf na punta ng sg pero babalik sya ng pinas. So vacation lang sa kanya. Just want to get your feedback regarding dun sa plan ko and if my tips pa po kaya mabibigay para d magkaproblema. Thanks.

equinox09

@adrix16 nag start siya sa Pinas. Tapos na-phone interview and pinag 2nd interview sa SG. Pagdating dito, nag start din siya mag-apply online. Di siya nakapasa sa 2nd interview ng 1st company, pero fortunately nainterview ng ibat-ibang companies and na-hire sa isa

@neonballroom Ok naman yung plano mo. Siguro prepare nalang kayo na kabisaduhin yung itinerary, flight dates, and wag na wag babanggitin na may maiiwang isa Kalimitan, pag couples and family, RT ticket at hotel booking lang naman hinahanap.

neonballroom

@arvs0z thanks. Hopefully lahat at di magkaproblema.

popoy

@madpotato normal practice ditto pag lilipat ka ng company magbibigay ka ng 1month notice sa current company mo, if kelangan ka talaga nung company magha-hire syo hhintayin ka nila habang sine-serve mo yung 1month notice mo..ang nkikita ko lang problem is yung mga ibang applicant na pwedi sila mag start immediately yun ang magiging kalaban mo hehe..
