And you have just confirmed my worst fear .. 90% of companies in Singapore are hopeless

In a fair world, everybody is equal .. and everybody stands an equal chance .. but in reality, natives prefer natives, and you can never blame them ... not here, not in Europe, not in US .. (and my daily dose of Dailymail UK doesn't say otherwise .. ) and, as much as possible, and if not, there will not quota for any job and .. likewise .. the immigration policy is to look locally first ..

I rest my case ..

Back then the Singapore River and Kallang River stinks like hell. No one wants to go for a dip since there were alot of Tong Kang (goods boats) all over the place until they decided to move it out to West Coast. Thanks Ahmad Mattar who was the Environment Minister

You can use VOIP services to get an incoming Singapore number wherever you are.

They can even forward the call to your India number.

One such local service is Pfingo from Starhub.
Google for it.

Back then, Singapore River was a RIVER .. not a reservoir

And water did flow, both ways .. depending on the tide

It's amazing how places change over time. I hardly recognise the environment in old pictures from when I was born, and even those taken a decade ago make me think - 'was that really how things looked back then'.

MS - do people actually go swimming in the SG rivers?

Late 90's I remember a guy who went to fish in the Kallang River and got swept away .. and in Boat Quay, a US Marine (the best of the best) fell into the river and drowned

Hey SMS, on 2nd July it's 29 years for me, although not all in Singapore but did marry one of them. Did you ever hang out at Chinoiserie? Sorry for hijacking wont post anymore.

Nah. Spent most of my wilder days listening to the various country clubs like Giniviy's, Boots & Saddles, Honky Tonk in Katong, Jockey Pub, Treetops & the like, with occasional forays to Top Ten, Jockey Pub/St. Regis, and the good ole Trop! Also used to do Bugis Street and the Sembawang Strip for special celebrations.

Jockey Pub! That rings a bell. Maybe being female I was more into the disco/dress up theme.

Using Google Voice, I can get a US number that rings on a phone in India, however that facility is not available in Singapore.

I have been looking for other similar services for Singapore.

My question is about my resume. Should I list my Indian phone number on my resume? Is there a service similar to Google Voice in Singapore? Would it be advantageous to use a service like that and redirect it to my phone in India? Does it even matter?

Any advice would help.

Thanks in advance.

Give your Indian phone number. If you are really qualified, they will call you irregardless. Many headhunters here have VoIP so calling overseas is not an issue.

There is no such word as irregardless.
