Through countless amounts of responses in this forum, I hav found out that finding a job in Singapore is very hard for expats... Would it b better if I apply online, or come to Singapore and find a job myself? And if I do apply online to various jobs, will I hav to still go to singapore anyway for an interview?
Cheers

Without being able to understand simple English you will have a hard time. We have already told you that fresh graduates probably won't be even given the time of day, let alone an interview. You have nothing to offer anybody except a piece of paper that say "theoretically I am capable of learning a job". That's about all a degree does. Why should they pay expat wages, go through the hassles of applying for Employment Passes and paying inflated salaries for someone without any experience?

Re: hmmm
That's right, which is why they hire graduates straight from Singapore's universities. Unlike expats, they're cheap, easy and disposable.ecco_o wrote:Many company wish to recruit fresh graduate for organizational culture reasons....expecially MNC, they wish the fresh graduate could melt into their culture.
