Just wanted to share with you all that I finally managed to find work! Would like to thank everyone on the forum (SMS I hope you're listening

) as I've benefitted from all the great advice.
My employer applied for an LOC and got the approval within 3 working days which I thought was quite cool.

Thanks SE and SMS
@ SMS-I'm here to stay... cause if I left I'd miss you too much

*kidding*
Plus there's something to be said about paying it forward, right...

You should celebrate. It is nothing short of an achievement to get a job here in SG on a DP.

Thanks everyone
@ Observer- you should take classes from SMS
@Irvine-I still remember one of my first posts where you encouraged me to keep trying- I think the topic was " Sick of seeing Singaporeans and PRs...."

Thanks again.
