Need advise on Pre-sales career & EP (Dependant)
Hi All,
This is Naveen. I'm from India and now working in Malaysia. I'm into Java Development, from past 5.6 yrs.
Now I would like to get into Pre-sales in Singapore(my dream career). I tried applying all related Jobs in the Singapore Job portals. But I'm not getting calls. Could some one suggest me the best approach to get into.
Also I've a dependent mother. I heard regular EP wont allow, parents as dependent.
So is it possible to move into Singapore along with my mother and get into Pre-sales career. Please guide me. Any little information would help me alot. Please let me know.
You can reach me at ynreddy.1981@gmail.com.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Naveen

Look under Passes for Family Members for your mother's case. Only certain EP allows mothers to be brought in under LTSVP.

In answer to your main question....
NO.

+1, Pre-sales - in Singapore context, has drifted to SALES, per-se .. and the govt is going back to pre 2000 standards - Sales Jobs should not go to Foreigners ...nakatago wrote:No
So tell me again, what would qualify you as a fit, when you are into Java Development, and want to get into Pre-sales ?
Did you really mean Sales - i.e. low salary with quota / targets to meet to get commissions ?

Well, it's not a good time since gahmen draws the "line". The applications from foreigners without rare skills are, most likely, rejected.ynreddy.1981 wrote:Now I would like to get into Pre-sales in Singapore(my dream career).

I thought working in Malaysia is not that bad (CMIIW)

You're not experienced enough yet. Wait until you have 6.2389 years experience, that's the magic numberynreddy.1981 wrote: This is Naveen. I'm from India and now working in Malaysia. I'm into Java Development, from past 5.6 yrs.
I HAVE MASTERS!
If I go my the 'latest trends' I am sure he did mean 5.6 yearsthe lynx wrote:I don't know, maybe he is trying to say 5-6 years?

A lot of resumes now specifically state 7.3 years of experience, or 4.9 years of experience .. I was told it means 7 years, and 3 months for former, and 4 years and 9 months for the latter..
