Trying to find a job in Singapore
Trying to find a job in Singapore
Hi guys....
I've a friend from Thailand who wants to come to Singapore to work.
She's a Degree holder from a University recognised by MOM.
She's being working for 3 years in Bangkok.
What r the options she can look @ to come to Singapore to work?
I understand that SMC can process her application for LPR @ a fee of $1500.
But she's looking for other ways. As SMC doesn't guarantee her an approval, all they say was a 50/50 chance (Based on phone conversation).
Any other cheaper alternatives?

take a budget airline flight over with her qualifications and sharpie pens.
then get a copy of the weds and/or sat paper to use that sharpie pen to circle out jobs that suit her.
make appointments/send out cvs and hope for the best! again, with that limited detail, people in the know may find it hard to point you to the right direction.
is her degree in nursing? is her working experience in HR? or... ?
some occupations may find employment easier simply because of demand. but i've had friends who simply flew to singapore without any sort of arrangement and got jobs with the above-mentioned steps.
good luck!

If she is Indonesian Chinese the LPR would be a good way to go. Most successful that route seem to be this group of people.
EPEC is nothing except a piece of paper that says your qualifications have been pre-vetted and are okay. It's the employer that has to convince the MOM that they need a foreigner instead of hiring a local. Having an EPEC does not guarantee you a job. It's just a pre-qualification saying "You" meet the requirements to be hired, provided you can find an employer who can creatively justify why he needs to hire you.

SMS: thanks for ur time to explain to me...
I really wonder if it's gonna be easy for her to get a job here wif EPEC..
Coz if she's gonna come out.. it's gonna be like she's gonna pack up everything in BKK n be here... meaning quitting her job there.
If her EPEC is approved, and she comes to SG.. how long can she stay in SG before she gets a job?
