how easy is it?

How easy would it be to find a job in Singapore in IPR/patent law or graphic design within 3 months for non-PR holders?

i guess it depends a great deal on luck.. i've applied from overseas, sent out about 10 e-mails, got 1 interview and got hired. i think it's important that you can be physically present in singapore for the interview, especially when presenting your portfolio.

i just decided to go on 'vacation' to singapore for a few days, replied to some ads on job sites, stated that i'd be in town during a certain period and tried to get as many interviews as possible.. i also sent a small portfolio A4 size attached to my application. i always do this even though they state otherwise. all the interviews i ever had were because of this mini portfolio.

but now i've a problem with the ep.. damn, it's always something..
