98% of the recruiters here are useless = fact !Wd40 wrote:The best thing would be to hope for nothing and then be pleasantly surprised if you find work on LoC.
Just to update the regulars here. My colleague's wife, Indian, a fresh engineering graduate from India recently got a job as a technical recruiter. She was approved to work with the LoC.
I am really surprised with the number of recruiters in Singapore, inspite of everyone talking about slowdown in hiring and ironically most recruiters are FTs. The top end recruiters are expat FT from developed countries and the low end recruiters are from India.
Another case: I met a Russian lady in our HDB common play area. She was from medical background prior to coming here and he got a job in some travel agency, very recently, again allowed to work on LoC.
So the LoC side of things still looks good so far.
Well Real Estate agents are bypass-able too. I think what wd40 was getting at is that while someone with motivation and common sense can easily bypass either, most of the people here lack one or both of those qualities, so they don't.Fortan wrote:Nah, not really. With LinkedIn you are more than capable of by-passing the recruiters. They are quite simply just paper pushers using LinkedIn.Wd40 wrote:They are a necessary evil just like real estate agents. Both make easy money, relative to their efforts, but what to do.
No surprise there. I was a headhunter when I got my PR approved as well. With specialization in the O &G sector.Wd40 wrote: Just to update the regulars here.

Yes! Fortunately I am a knit-aholic so can while away hours and hours churning out sweaters. Ready for when we get back to cold England!nutnut wrote:You'll be doing a lot of lunch and stuff!
Ensure that you can be comfortable with it, it's going to be tough! I have heard of a lot of women going stir-crazy due to lack of things to do, my wife is desperate to get back to work!
You've never been to Singapore, have you?ashitawa1983 wrote:There are many things to do ??? like learning a new language learn new culture, you are in a new country so take advantage of it make international friends to be even more open minded? I think as long as you are sociable and actively making friends tons of new ideas will pop up for you
