Is it all banks in singapore are offering jobs on contract basis that can be renewed or converted to permament position?
Is there any banks that offer permament positions?
For banks recruiting for perm positions, yes. They usually recruit those management positions or those who are very experienced in the job, like RM', AVPs and VPs.
banks usually offer you 6 months to 1 year contract. if you perform well and there is a vacancy for perm positions, you will be sent for an interview with the HR.
I got 2 job offer.
A 9 month contract job by bank and a perm job by a SME.
The bank pay is better but I feel no job sceurity as only contract job so I chose the SME

care to tell me which bank and which dept and what job? call centre?
do well in the bank job before worry about job security. who knows you may get converted to a perm position. pls dun embellish your resume as banks will check your resume one. which employment agency helped you find this job? kelly or adecco or recruit express?
this is your chance to go into banking. if you turn it down, you may not get a similar chance in future and you may regret it.
I already turn it down.
I did not go through any agency. I applied for the job at the bank website.
Its a admin job
you should call them back and asks if the vacancy is still there.
care to share which bank is that?
I already sign the letter of appointment with the SME and I need to work at least 6 months with them or else I need to pay 1 month salary.
So your 3 job offer thread which you wrote you chose the bank job?
so good that u are offer a bank job, i rather work in the bank than SME. Bank see performance before they convert u to perm. But i think it is too late ,care to tell me which bank u applying?

Civil service is finding it hard to attract people to join them because they offer contract jobs and not perm jobs
