Just keep trying and go listen to the PM's NRS on Utube to see what you are going to be up against.

Hello everyone,

Am currently on a DP here and working full time. Based on my personal experience I think its a lot easier to get an LOC than an EP and its usually hassle free. You need to first find a job after which your employer requests MoM for an LOC for you. In my case the LOC was approved within 3 working days which I thought was pretty cool.

Finding a job in SG as a DP can take time and I can completely relate to the frustration some of you have expressed, however, you just gotto keep at it and something should work. Also helps if you can use the time to build some contacts.

I think it also helps to volunteer while you wait for PR or a permanent job somewhere. There is a volunteer bureau or something like that there..that will help you network and get out and make connections.

The American Association has a career resource centre, not just for Americans. They are very helpful, and they also have an online job board. I don't know what your background specifically, is but in fact I saw a job posted there today looking for someone with a science background.

yeah very true unless one get job , she should do voluntary work, but in my case i have applied somewhere as a volunteer but they say we need PRs and Singaporeans, so i felt really bad.

The main points to remember as a DP holder, is that Singapore Companies and Probably MNC too, are not aware just how easy it is to employ a DP......No hassle at all, other than the LOC is tied to the husbands employment pass.

So all DP holders need to educate all potential employers in the simple application system, in fact you as a DP holder can collect the application for from MOM and show it to the employer and say, that is the only document you have to fill in.... Bingo! Take it with you on every job seeking trip. Photo coppy it and send it with every job application explaining what it is and what needs to be filled in....some people need step by step instructions in doing things they have never done before.

A dp does not effect the companies quota system either and they do not need to have so many Singaporeans employed to give you a job. So you can all collect the LOC from MOM just tell them you are a DP holder and you would like the LOC application form.

Hi ksl,

I hope you still see this topic...

I just arrived in Singapore and want to work as a freelancer (Marketing). At the moment, I have a DP as well.

Since I do not have enough posts, I cannot PM you

Would be great if you could PM instead.

Thanks a lot!
Marc
