The place where you work must be a legal place for normal business.

Second, the way and place of work.

working methods

There are only two ways to study and work in Singapore: on campus and off campus.

School work needs the recommendation of school teachers, and the jobs are relatively fixed, such as school library, dormitory and student service center. The work content is also relatively simple, such as sorting out books and registering the information of borrowing and returning books. In the library, the dormitory is a place to check hygiene and receive consultation. Working on campus is mainly to avoid paying tuition or living expenses.

There are many ways to work outside school, and the salary will be relatively high. But the security is not as high as that of the school. There are common service industries, such as tea shops, snack bars and service shops around the school. However, you can also choose a job according to your specialty or major. For example, you can go to a counseling institution to teach language and dance, or undertake some translation work.

(2) Part-time office

1, fitness center

The work of the gym is also simple and easy to operate, such as cheering up the basketball, managing the racket and tidying up the locker room. Because students' exercise time is relatively concentrated, they can have more study time at work during the day.

2. Library

Taking a part-time job in the library is simple and easy to operate, such as checking students' certificates in and out of the library and sorting out books. The point is that students can study while working.

3. Computer room

For students who are good at computers, they can submit an application for on-campus work to the person in charge of the computer room before the start of each semester. The school will not force students who work part-time in the computer room to solve any complicated problems, but will do relatively simple work such as updating programs, changing printing paper or changing ink cartridges.

4. Student dormitory

Student Dormitory This is the place where most jobs are created for students, such as consulting at the front desk of the student dormitory, sending and receiving emails, planning student activities, checking the entrance and exit of student ID cards, cleaning and so on.

5. Student Service Center

The beginning of each semester is the busiest time for the student service center. A large number of assistants are needed to handle various procedures, such as student registration and vaccine records. As long as there is a teacher's guidance, these tasks are very simple. However, in order to find such a job, in addition to fluency in English, the most important thing is that the application time is at least one week before the start of school. It is difficult for many students who have just left.

6. School canteen

In addition to cashiers and chefs, restaurants in Singapore also recruit students for other jobs, and some of them also provide free dishes for Singaporean students. However, this requires workers to work hard at dinner time before they can have a rest.

Third, hourly wages.

As a part-time job in Singapore, the salary is generally around 5~ 10 yuan. If you work in a school, your salary may be relatively higher. According to the relevant regulations of the Singapore government, only international students who enter the Singapore government college can work and study. International students who want to work part-time at school must apply and get approval before they can go out to work. International students can only work without affecting the course, and the week cannot exceed 16 hours.

According to relevant information, most international students in Singapore work part-time in KFC, McDonald's and other places. Besides these places, I still work in cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and other places. International students work in these places for one hour, about 6~7 yuan. Of course, sometimes the solid may be around 8 yuan, depending on the actual situation.

Studying in Singapore, not all universities allow international students to go out to work. Usually, private universities do not allow international students to go out to work. If you can't go out, international students can choose to work on campus or increase their income. There are still many places to choose from for campus work, such as the library. This place not only has a good environment, but also is easy to operate. After all, libraries in Singapore are all carried out by computer automation programs, which is very convenient.

2. Problems that should be paid attention to in studying abroad and renting a house in Singapore

I. Regional location

The land division in Singapore is determined according to the postal area. A postal area of * * * 28 can be divided into four areas: north, west, middle and east. In order to avoid the constant life brought by crossing the postal area, everyone is looking for a house in the postal area where the school is located.

And when determining, we must first consider the traffic problem. Whether there is a convenient way to travel will directly affect everyone's living expenses. In the conditional area, finding a house with a suitable budget also needs to be considered.

Second, the type of house.

Apartment 65438

Generally, apartments are managed by specialized agencies, so it will be more convenient for everyone to apply. They can directly log on to the website of the management organization, enter the name of their school, and then add filter conditions such as price and type to make a choice.

In the website, the external environment and internal furnishings of the house will be fully displayed. Everyone can basically see everything they want to know. If there are blind spots, you can consult the staff directly. After the basic confirmation, you can directly deposit and sign the contract after seeing the house.

2. Private residence

Generally, it is troublesome to find such a house by yourself, and there is no guarantee. You can filter through the intermediary. With the guarantee of a third party, you don't have to worry about being cheated. They will do almost anything well. You just have to nod your head to confirm.

Of course, everyone should make clear their own requirements, and ensure that all three parties are present when looking at the house. If there are problems, they need to be raised in time to solve them, so that the subsequent disputes will be much less.

Third, the lease contract

It involves the money you need to spend. In addition to the basic rent, you also need to pay basic services such as property services and garbage disposal, as well as water, electricity, gas and other expenses generated by life. These two parts are basically paid by everyone.

After finalizing the lease, you should also remember to sign a contract with the landlord that conforms to the law, and understand every clause clearly to safeguard your rights and interests, so as to effectively avoid being cheated.

3. Common cards to be prepared for studying in Singapore

First of all, the calling card

In contemporary society, it can be said that a mobile phone can't live without you, so how can I get a calling card? Students, before boarding the plane, remember to turn on # Domestic Mobile Number International Roaming #. Without international roaming, your domestic mobile phone can't receive any SMS verification code, and many things will be very inconvenient.

Remember to book a Singapore calling card in advance in China. It's quite cost-effective to replace the mobile phone card 10 of CMLink with a new 20g (Alipay/WeChat can be used), and you can also send a year's domestic phone bill (180R) when you access the network!

Second, bank cards.

Master/visa, Bank of China has a joint bank card in Singapore, which can be handled in Singapore; Or, if there is a visa gold card in China, you can go to the bank to open a supplementary card to use in Singapore, and students can use China UnionPay card to withdraw money and spend money in Singapore.

But please pay attention! Not all places accept China UnionPay cards! If students don't want to open an account in a bank in Singapore, they need to prepare two domestic bank cards for living in Singapore.

1. China unionpay single standard card withdrawal (the exchange rate is settled according to the bank exchange rate, and the withdrawal fee varies from 15-50, and the maximum withdrawal is1000-1500);

2. China UnionPay +Visa/Master dual-label cards can be directly consumed in Singapore. Before going abroad, you can purchase foreign exchange directly for repayment or directly settle in RMB for consumption abroad. Please contact the bank.

Third, the traffic card

Singapore has developed transportation and is convenient to go out. It's super convenient to take the subway, bus and taxi. It is still very cost-effective to pay by mobile phone or get a transportation card.

There are two kinds of transportation cards in Singapore: Wanjietong Card FlashPay and Yitong Card EZ-Link. You can buy a transportation card at the manual window of the subway station or at the 7- 1 1 convenience store all over the island.

The fee for both cards is $5, which is non-refundable. You need to deposit at least 7 Singapore dollars. After recharging, the card can be used on buses and subways. These two cards can also be used in convenience stores.
