So... what criteria would you suggest a company use to attempt to convince MOM to hire you as a foreigner instead of just hiring a local?winger7 wrote:I would be expecting to earn 3k SGD but could settle for less. I have a bachelors Geography degree, which obviously does not correlate with the work experience I have. I have taught in a kindergarten for 6 months which does not count for much, worked at a hotel at front desk for a year and will have worked a year as a project coordinator at HKU. It is a massive event the one I am working for.
With the language skills I have mentioned I do feel well equipped for a solid job, but then I am humble enough to know there are plenty of people out there.
Can anyone forsee what the employment situation will be like by next summer anyway espeically for foreigners?

I did actually work at a front desk before and it was 1.8k pay with 6 days work with shift duties. I guess it is pros and cons....thanks a lot

Ignore the skeptics
Come here with some money and see for yourself. It is possible to find jobs.
For work permits, which are work visas given for jobs less than 1800 sgd/mth, it should be quite easy for you. But work permits holders cannot apply for PR
For S passes, which are work visas given for jobs more than 1800 sgd/mth, it will be tougher but it is still doable. I have two friends from China who are fresh degree graduates and speak halting English. Both have found jobs although it took some persistance on their parts, going for interviews and facing rejections. S pass holders can apply for PR after 6 months.
