How high are the chaces of being rejected even if your EP is filed by a large intl co.

As far as I know, your current job offer must be related to your previous experience. Another thing to consider is the quota..but for big companies with so much employees, I think it's not a problem My friend's EP was rejected twice...she's now on the third company and keeping her finger's cross.

Wow!Am I the friend you are talking about?

But three companies is a good quota....

Just keep your heads up!

and what are reasons the EP application gets rejected..If the co applying the EP for you finds you capable for the job...

An EP is not granted just because a company finds you suitable for a job. That is only a basic requirement for the Company not Singapore. In theory in order to be granted an EP you have to be able to bring something to the table that is not easily found among Singapore's citizens. If, for instance you were just a run of the mill Marketing person, Singapore is full of run of the mill marketing persons, same with lots of occupations. If you have marketing history in a certain industry that is new here, then there may be fewer locals with the skillsets required in this industry. You may have that little bit more not easily found here. If you do, you've got your EP.

Hi,

They probably reject you on grounds on insufficient locals in the company. My friend got rejected more than thrice (lost count exactly..

) because of that. Then again, if it's a local international company, you probably don't have this problem as long as you have a good degree, a good company willing to take you...should be alright!

There are no quotas or ratios for EP's. As SMS pointed out, EP's are granted when the case can be made that the skills needed cannot be found in Singapore.

So, if you are a fresh IT or accounting grad, chances are low. If you have 15 years of strong selling experience into MNC's you'll probably get the EP. If you have specialized knowledge of the company itself... for example, a CFO or division MD, you'll probably get it.

This is good to know, I will be submitting my application for an EP in the coming week (just waiting for my University to send me my proof of graduation).

I have been worried that the Singapore government will reject my application. I think my experience is specialized enough that I should be OK.
