I'm seeking some advice for my career situation. I would greatly appreciate if you could share your thoughts.
I'm a 29 year-old Thai. I have a bachelor's degree (honors) in accounting from a university in Thailand and a MBA finance (dean's list) from University of Oregon (graduated in June '09). I have 5-year experience working as an accounting manager for a manufacturing company in Thailand and 3-month training as an audit trainee at KPMG (Thailand).
I have been trying to get a job in SG and sending out my resume to several recruiters and direct employers. Recently, I received an email from a recruiter inviting me to attend a first round walk-in interview for an accountant position. Salary is S$3,500 - S$4,300 depending on experience and qualification.
In the email, they mentioned "if you are not currently in SG, we will not be able to take your application further. As this is an ongoing recruitment exercise, you may still attend the interview once you arrived SG." I am also required to pay a refundable processing fee of 20SGD prior to interview.
I'm wondering if they are looking to fill this position right now or they are just collecting resumes and prospect applicants. I have no experience with recruiters

What do you think?
Thank you in advance for your input
