1. Learn proper English
2. Get 3 or more years working experience in a specialization field that is not common (but in demand) in Singapore

With these two points that differentiate you from the average local, you'll have a chance to find a good job here.
But as of now, you have none.

Thanks SMS, but I am not x9200.

To OP: Neither am I "Bep..." - taking such shortcuts will not endear you with hiring managers (both SMS and me ARE hiring managers!).

Oops! Reading too many tabs too fast! Was reading one of the Red Chinese threads and popped over to this one without checking.

Expats are usually considered "foreign talent" and while I would disagree with what I've been seeing in recent years, the fact still remains, that if you want to be taken as serious and with respect, you need to write the same way......

No, you don't see. Your best bet for being hired in Singapore would be by a multinational... at least in terms of a company that would be capable of getting a work permit for you. And if you work for an MNC, you had better be able to write in complete sentences with reasonably good grammar.

Local firms will not be able to qualify you... you have nothing that locals don't have already.
