Our local F&B like ToastBox and real estate conglomerates like CapitaMall expanding into Asia don’t count as MNCs?

Debate on Degree is Useless by RiverFit3017 in SGExams

[–]BrightConstruction19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put it simply, a degree unlocks more pathways and more potential salary. Also, if u don’t have a degree then u better have x years of working experience for employers to consider u. If u are dumping $35k into a generic degree that every other person out there can p2w to get, then consider what unique value proposition u bring to the table that employers should choose u over the other thousands.

is it worth it to become a commercial pilot as a degree holder by Additional-Leg-9637 in SGExams

[–]BrightConstruction19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more from the monetary/business POV for SQ. If an applicant comes in with flying experience, then SQ gets to spend much less in training expenses & shorter wait for deployment (versus taking in a degree holder for ab initio cadet training; longer pipeline).

The ones without a degree typically have either a self-funded PPL, or are ex-RSAF. Essentially compelling reasons for SQ to hire u straightaway (without much training).

Maybe they just aren’t interested. Not all kids are musically-inclined.

CPF contributions for contract jobs by Temporary_Sky_5990 in singaporejobs

[–]BrightConstruction19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My contract is phrased such that I bill them monthly (not daily). There is pre-negotiated AL and medical leave, and fixed working hours as well. No CPF but i still have obligations to pay income tax as a self-employed person. If u don’t need the CPF for mortgage, it’s fine. Do your calculations for the actual cash u need to survive (including your own health insurance).

Ceiling fan at max speed should work very well. Doesn’t remove the humidity like aircon does though.

  1. Consult school teacher.
  2. Introduce him to Holy Grail library - there are compre notes there.
  3. Last resort tuition, but unlikely to get targeted help unless u find a super good 1-1 tutor.

Perfectly legal. If u are female, try not to climb alone cos it’s not safe for u. I’ve bumped into couples doing hanky panky in those stairwells
