Applying for jobs in Singapore - advice needed

[cathgotmail]

Hello, and peace to you all... I do not understand why those harsh words were necessary?
I think ceej1979 was asking a normal question.

@ceej1979, i lived in Singapore with an EP back in 2007, I got the job before relocating. so I am not one of those adventurous people who look for jobs while in Sg.
However I can tell you that many do so - and I hv also read successful stories from those people!
Having studied/worked/lived in US and Europe for years, I know how hard and strict it is to get a job and work permit there (its probably harder for me as I'm Asian=)).
I think lots of people would agree that its generally easier to get a job in Sg..As long as you have got the skills and experiences, it should not be too hard to get a job there.

To be honest, job hunting might be difficult these days (due to recession) - if you have the tickets, and free accommodation, then you should really give it a shot. I know many friends did make it so why don't you?

Cheers.

Hi ceej1979,

Good luck with your wedding and your move here. It will probably be easiest for you to apply for PR as a spouse after you are married. But there is a risk of having a National Service liability so keep that in mind.

Singapore is a very pragmatic place, from the politicians down. You will notice it more once you start living here. I say this to help give you some context around the replies you have received so far. There is a realism that is used in evaluations of many things here is rather brutal, but is really just a way of managing expectations.

You will find that there are many possibilities once you are on the ground here. The trouble is most will require networking, a lot of ground work, and a certain amount of luck to actual happen.

Good Luck!
