What are u offering in terms of skills, experience and education above local Singaporeans born and bred here?
Nothing from what you have posted - not a chance of a job I would guess.

I hope they make it illegal to come to Singapore on a tourist visa to look for jobs, like in most other countries.

PP...what are you talking about ?
Surely I can spend my holidays in Singapore (or any other city for that matter) and talk to people.....even an interview and a job offer is fine....
what kind of work permit etc one needs to actually be on the ground to PHYSICALLY be employed here and do some work is a complete seperate matter.....

The last time I checked, if I told the immigration officers at UK, US or Aus that I'm there for a holiday, and oh btw I may meet someone for an interview they won't let me in.

Actually - many countries explicitly do not allow visitors on a tourist status to be job hunting. Sure, you might ask how would they know or enforce this. But I have witnessed in quite a few occasions in a variety of airports, immigration officers grilling visitors on their travel plans, and whether it includes intentions to seek employment. If they have reasons to doubt your answer, they will detain you for further questioning and a search - if they find copies of CV/resumes, letters of reference, professional certification etc, they will take this as evidence of an intent to seek a job and deny you entry. |

I said holidays.....of course you don't write "job hunting" on your visa application  Nobody would be that stupid. But then some people don't stand up to the scrutiny of questioning by immigration officers and can't give at least a rough (if fake) description of their holiday plans for the 2 weeks they are staying in the country. |

you clearly don't get it... I'm not saying you can prevent all the "foreign talent" from coming into the country under false pretences. I'm saying make it illegal, like most other countries

Singapore welcomes foreigners to work here.
You can come on a social visit and look for a job. There are lots of foreigners here, so you won't feel out of place and if you contact the support groups of your countrymen in Singapore, you could get help in finding a job.
Welcome to Singapore. Hope you get a job here.

Hey yall! This is my first post on the forum, and I wanted to say how helpful everyone has been. I had the same question as the OP...guess I should hide my resumes in between my underwear and socks! Lol As a follow up question: is it advisable to visit recruiting firms while I'm in Sg or do you think the traditional walk-in/online resume drop method achieves better results? I've never worked with a recruiting firm before and I've heard equal parts of pros/cons to just be confused about them  (FYI - In my case it's a USA-to-SG relocation) Thanks! Emily |
