Hi,Gsav wrote:Hello.
Also, is it better to apply for a 'looking for work' permit, or a long-term social visit pass in regards to finding employment?

It is only natural that since you are applying from UK and your presence is not in Singapore, employers will find it hard to grant an interview with you, even if they wish to. Most of employers looking for staff are normally on a quite urgent basis. The posts need to be filled as soon as possible. So you can understand that it is no point for you to apply for jobs from another country.
This is not true at all. All the things that are deemed illegal to classify a jobseeker by in western countries is a MUST HAVE by Singapore employers. This is so that they can discriminate based on race, religion, gender, age and general looks. Discrimination is alive and well here and there are no laws to actually prevent it. Only admonitions that "you shouldn't do it" which employers just ignore. (no Fines - remember this is a FINE city). So, unless the OP has included all that stuff, the HR manager/executive wont look past the first half of page of the CV if (s)he gets that far.
As long as you have the proper qualifications and experience for the job, and you are realistic enough, you should be able to land a job within a relatively short period of time. There are jobs everywhere.
You are optimistic, I'll say that. Yeah, there are jobs, but MOM is not giving them up very easily to foreigner at the moment.
The format of job resumes should be the same as yours in the UK afterall, Singapore inherits its education system from the British.
Then why do the British speak English and Singaporeans speak Singlish?
The election? it is a non event...most of us will not have to chance to vote as it is a walkover in most part of the state.
Since your partner is coming over for his job, just enjoy your trip here and find your job when you are here.
Hopes this helps.
Nothing to do with this. This is about service and conduct quality - typically only a fraction of companies (mainly of the public sector) bothers to respond to the emails. The proper and often the only way to arrange something is via direct personal contact.louisloo wrote:First of all, do not be unduly worried about the non response from Singapore companies.

Either you have been sleepwalking while you are living in SG or put on a deaf ears and not feel the rumbling on the ground. Have you care to read the local papers to see and understand the disgruntle comments on the locals here ?If you are a local, you must been paid handsomely for your work or replying on behalf of the Gahmen?Hmmmmm???louisloo wrote: The election? it is a non event...most of us will not have to chance to vote as it is a walkover in most part of the state.
I am confused..I can't see what has this got to do with the OP wanting to know why her applications has no response and if her way of writing has to do with the disgruntle comments of other people.Mad Scientist wrote: Either you have been sleepwalking while you are living in SG or put on a deaf ears and not feel the rumbling on the ground.

Can you read the 2nd line..OP is already on the bandwagon..with or without the job, she is coming over.Your post is damned confusing and misleading. You are pasting that everything is rosy and picturesque in SG at this moment. What you are doing is making OP jump the bandwagon and come here based on your posting which OP will be hugely disappointed based on the current political climate. Go to the search button and read all those rejections for EP and you will understand what I meant
Oh really? You might want to tell that to all the Credit card companies that call me up constantly (Citibank being the worst offender) trying to get me to sign up for things, I can never understand what the hell they are saying! Or does that not count as 'official business'?louisloo wrote: Then why do the British speak English and Singaporeans speak Singlish?
They speak Singlish on a casual basis, not when they are on official business.
