Luckily, my girlfriend's parents over there are worth about 50 million dollars, so I could probably holiday indefinitely, if I wanted to. I could even afford to buy a 5 grand nissan, and put a black hood on it.Saint wrote:So you have a holiday sorted.
Having read your hysterical posting on want to get a job here, I would honestly rate your chances at zero. But enjoy your holiday
btw, all cars here have alloys
Still wont get you a visa to stay indefinitely, and thats a constructive response.ceej1979 wrote:

Well, we are marrying in April, so that will probably help.Saint wrote:Still wont get you a visa to stay indefinitely, and thats a constructive response.ceej1979 wrote:

Anyway, how old are you as your postings are something like a 12 year would write!
You should do some research on the article (as in read it).littlegreenman wrote:You should do your homework first before having a go at locals for "only owning a Nissan". A Nissan Sunny easily costs you SGD 100k+ as import taxes and COE are very high. That is a lot of money for a car and not everybody is marrying into a rich family or wants to spend their in-laws' money on a more expensive car.
I read your thread, actually both mate. Still not sure why you had to double post which is clearly against forum rules. Also, please put your glasses on, it as a Mitsubishi. Have a look at your own post:ceej1979 wrote:You should do some research on the article (as in read it).littlegreenman wrote:You should do your homework first before having a go at locals for "only owning a Nissan".

I put up a perfectly sincere message, asking for help, and I get some douche on here making fun of me.
I realise cars are expensive in Singapore. He's obviously a joker, on here to annoy - so a Nissan with a dumb-ass black hood is pretty good material to hit back right?
Your comment was talking about every car (otherwise you would have used the term "all cars").Can I ask why all cars in Singapore have black hoods, and alloys? Is it to hide the fact that it isn't a 10 grand car?

You will be very hard pressed to get a job.ceej1979 wrote:I'm a 29 year old brit, with a media/communications degree, and have worked in publishing, in a sort of Editorial Assistant role, on a magazine, for about 4 years.
I'm hoping to relocate to Singapore in January 2010. I have most things sorted, bar the job.
I was just wondering what the general process is for an ex-pat?
Do companies tend to telephone interview you, so you can actually go over with a job to go to?
Or do they tend to want to Interview you in Singapore? As in, me going over there jobless - and trying to get something when I'm there.

So taking into consideration that you double posted, you have a problem with all cars in Singapore which makes you come across like you think you're something better than the rest of us and then you are quite naive proclaiming you have everything sorted out when you actually have nothing sorted out, you can't blame Saint for being plain honest and telling you that. Better than him stoking you and telling you not to worry when you really don't have anything sorted out.

a) If you did find one it would be low paying in your field.
b) The company would have to prove they couldn't fill the position with local talent in order to get an EP, and in this economy EP's are getting harder to come by.
c) This is a small town, network wise. Everyone knows everyone in any given field. If you are here you might get an interview but I doubt it because.
d) There are only a handful of local rags produced here and as I mentioned before, pay is mostly atrocious.
PS: Yes, you are getting your chain yanked... and not responding very well at all.
I'm not really on here to argue with expats, who have little more to do with their evenings, than to go on forums, trying to wind up people trying to make the same move.Zeenit wrote:ceej1979 wrote:Luckily, my girlfriend's parents over there are worth about 50 million dollars, so I could probably holiday indefinitely, if I wanted to.

Make up your mind about your Singaporean Family. Firstly is your brother's in laws. Now its your future in laws......Why menrtion money. And why not ask them to pay for a lawyer and ask them the questions and Insult them. Not Saint.
I agree with Saint....Like the program " Not smarter than a 5th grader"
