All the best!

Thanks for yr quick reply. OK, will try to contact international courier companies after CNY.

But I got this feeling that they may already have a surplus of hand couriers given Spore’s liberal employment laws. Lots of Aussies, Brits, Americans & Europeans who are residents here and they have visa free passports too.

Also, Shanghai is the hub of logistics for China which is a vast manufacturing base compared to Spore so I think your side gets more hand courier jobs.

My freelance job is in forex trading. Its not for the faint hearted and I use my personal savings to trade. Its called margin trading where the forex broker whom you trade with prop you up with extra cash or leverage as they call it. Say, if you put in SGD5K, then request your forex broker to put in SGD5K X 2, then your wish is granted provided you meet the minimum sufficient capital threshold required by your forex broker. I use technical analysis to trade and there is a lot out there for free. Meaning lots of charts with candlesticks & lines and fanciful names gives to different trend lines.

I used to do backroom library/research operations in an investment bank and was stressed out badly. I left on my own accord & later took on part time jobs as an indexer/search specialist with a content management company that went bust later on and also as a methodology consultant with a US MNC. These were all part time as I craved freedom.

Thanks for your comment.

Unfortunately, the courier company I worked with doesn’t have an office in Singapore. I suggest you contact any international courier company and let them know your availability. For my case, they would call me when their own part-time employees were all away at other assignments so a freelancer like me could help out.

No they did not buy medical insurance for me as this was a cash job. Sounds somewhat dodgy to many Singaporeans when I tell them but I also did assignments when I was a student here so after so many rounds, I know everything is legit.

Yes I rejected jobs (to India) and that was fine. I received varying notice of a trip anywhere from 2 hours to 1 day.

I’m actually working full-time now, what industry are you freelancing in? Sounds like you’re enjoying the freedom you have.

All the best for 2012 too! Keep the comments coming.

BTW, could you provide the hand courier company that employed you? Do they have an office in Spore?

I am freelancing just like you though in a different industry & would like to take on the hand carry job. My google search only turned up one company that specialize between Spore & Europe for hand carry but not sure how they pick their part time employees to do the hand carry?

What is the selection criteria for picking up someone to do hand carry, do they buy medical insurance for you?

Can you reject a job if you have other commitments during the dates assigned by the company? How many hours notice do you get?

All the best for 2012.

Coming soon!

Thanks for dropping by and commenting.

I just love your wit
