HR work in Singapore

Post by Nataliya29 » Tue, 04 Oct 2011 7:03 pm

Hello to all,

I have been applying for an HR work in Singapore for quite sometime now and unfortunately to no avail.....yet.

What would you suggest for a method which can increase my luck? I will apply for an EPEC this month but I am not sure if it can help in my job search.

I have almost 10 years of experience in HR and is working in an international organization here in Manila.

Any advice/suggestions please?

Thanks!

Nata

Unless you are Singaporean or PR you are going to find it virtually impossible to even get a foot in the door. Singapore has plenty of home grown HR professionals ( :lol: ) to fill all the positions here.

Or if you have specialised in HR solutions, like SAP HR, and the like, hit on the MNCs / Foreign Banks .. other than them, the chance for local companies is very low ..

Traditionally HR is the preserve of the locals

Having said that, there are always exception to the rule. :mrgreen:
