Sorry if I seem to be a bit repetitive because I've asked similar questions in this forum before. I still feel unclear because I have gotten different answers from different friends and people on forums, and even SMC when i went to ask.

From what I understand, methods to secure a job before landing in Singapore could be on job listing websites such as jobsdb, monster and all but what are the chances that anyone will get back to you at all? It seems unlikely to me, or is it just me? I have also submitted my resume to agencies, but it might just be the current economy, but is there much of a chance from hearing from anyone this way?

I have also asked SMC here in Hong Kong on the passes, the woman said I can only secure a visa or the relevant pass after I land in Singapore. I have also had people tell me that they secure a PR thru SMC? Anyway I will stop here and would appreciate it very very much if I could get a comprehensive answer, thanks a lot
