Any Job/Visa Info?

[seeingtheworld]

Could anyone tell me the best sources for finding a job in Singapore? Also any heads up as to how long it typically takes to get a visa? Thanks!!!

How long it takes depends what type of job you are looking for. If you want to start, get a social visit visa and come to Singapore and start looking for jobs by going agencies and over the net like jobsdb.com, jobstreet.com. High and likely companies will sponsor you a visa if you have what they need.

Thanks for the response! I really appreciate all direction

Maybe you can tell me what type of jobs you are looking for? That way I can tell you if it's really worth coming here to look for one. Truthfully speaking, some sectors need more people than thee rest. I find it hard for myself to even find a job and I am from Singapore.

I believe more people are needed for the IT sector in engineering and IT support, helpdesk. Also need more medical personal. And sales, education. That's all I am sure of.

Well I don't like to lie too, but I've seen many foreigners around, and if you have what it takes, like qualifications and stuff, I believe people here are more willing to hire.

[autumnstar]

Ok, I hate to lie so here's the deal. I believe as long as someone is qualified, a company will be most willing to hire them. But getting a work permit might be hard. I have a new colleague and apparently he's from UK and he has some problems with work permit. I guess in this economy, most govts will be helping the locals more. Let's not give up hope though
