I live in NZ and work in the publishing industry. I've been looking for jobs in Singapore and have had a few bites from prospective employers - but when it comes to interviews, they have seemed surprised I'm not in Singapore, even though my resume says I'm in New Zealand. Is it easier to find work by being in Singapore, having Singapore contact details and such?
Obviously, there are outgoings like airfares, set up costs and the like, and the downtime of not having an income, plus the risk of not gaining employment at all. Is Singapore worth the risk?

Re: Should I come to Singapore without a job?
Only you can determine that. How are we supposed to know what your background is. Why you want to come. What you hope to gain and/or accomplish. As the old saw goes, you normally have to spend money to make money. If you feel you are saleable enough pack a bag and make the investment. As to whether or not you will be successful. Depends how well you sell yourself.rotovegas wrote:I live in NZ and work in the publishing industry.

Good Luck.
