Anne_2276
i hope anne_2276 will give me some ideas bout job hunting here in singapore...hope u'll keep in touch..please..and for those who can help us finding a job here...pls let us know...Godbless to all...
Your problem is that you have no special degree or skills that cannot be found in the local populace. If someone hires you and tries to apply for a work permit with the MoM, they will deny the permit because you have no special skills.
How many years have you taught? What subjects? What are your degrees? PhD?
admin/secretarial is nothing special here, and for outdoor sales you have hundreds of Polytechnic students.
Also, it's usually a better idea to apply from abroad rather than burning up all your money here.

Again, what are your qualifications? Do you have a master's degree in IT? A Phd? THAT'S what will make you attractive to the local schools. English, math, social sciences, etc, all pointless to mention them if you don't have the certifications to prove it.

got Masters in Educational Administration
Yup.got a masteral units in Educational Administration from University of the Philippines..sorry, but its not only certifications and level of studies that make you land a job here...not at all..it could be..but not at all...i've known a friend here...supervisor now of one of their company department..he didnt have any special education or what so ever...but he manage to climb the ladder of success because he believed he could...and loook at him right now....dont wori, il get some help from others who are willing to encourage rather than dumpen one's spirit..thanks but no thanks bremen..Godbless you bro!



Re: got Masters in Educational Administration
Does Singapore recognize this? Here in the UK degrees obtained from Philippine Universities are not recognized. I don't wish to be discouraging but I think this may be the same in Singapore. Hopefully somebody with more local knowledge than me will be able to tell you.angelsurfin wrote:Yup.got a masteral units in Educational Administration from University of the Philippines..

I'm curious now.......angelsurfin wrote: Was able to make my wife and my daughter come here last december to be with me in singapore...
Why on earth would you want to "MAKE" your wife and daughter come here? Didn't they want to come?

If they did want to come then I hope your degrees aren't in English, as they have enough problems here with that already.

I'm even more curious now.......angelsurfin wrote:sorry for that, it's a typographical error...
the problem with most of people here is they think they're standing on a high ground just because they speak in "slang"...so oblivious that they never realize they're just a fly standing on a carabao.
what a pity...
Cheers!
So very full of yourself. What was the Typographical error? It looked more like just plain improper English to me. I'm not trying to get down on you. You stated you were a teacher! I though teachers liked to constantly keep learning and knowing that you were not a Native Speaker it could have been an honest mistake. Nobody is trying to stand on high ground except you. Oh yes, what slang? Anyway, "made" typed "mead" or "amde" are typographical errors. Using "made" was an incorrect choice of words. Your pride has now earned you some........
