I'm a Brit who just moved here with her husband from the UK. He has a job and been working here for 4 months. I had a job offer and signed contract from the Singapore branch of the company I worked for back in the UK doing the same job, but my EP was just rejected twice. I don't have a degree, is there anything else I can do to change this, is it worth trying to go down to the MOM myself with my UK references?
If not is there any other way I can work over here in Singapore, even part time? I have heard that some expat wives can get work teaching English?
Would be grateful for any advice

Assuming you are legally married (e.g., eligible for a Dependent's Pass), read here:

Sorry to be negative, or rather realistic, but if you want to teach English (you'll need to be employed by someone firstly) you need Ministry of Education clearance - which is usually granted based on your experience in the past. Then you use the MoE clearance to apply for your employment pass. It's a double edged sword.
Maybe look into doing some qualifications to build up your knowledge if you haven't taught before?
Going back to your first point, and as SMS said, you can always look to get a letter of consent, which allows you to work based on the premise that your partner holds a valid employment pass.
if you want more info on teaching English, drop me a PM. My friend has just moved into that field and would be happy to share their experience with you.
