Moving to S'pore, foreigners has chances for job?

last SG · 2008-04-11T08:14:18+00:00

Depends on ur luck I might say for jobs and cost of living is increasing rapidly. Plus most of locals in forum aren't gonna be very helpful.

Well guys+gals let me be straight forward to the point.. i am planning to move to S'pore by year end to settle down there and get a job. i have choosed S'pore because i don't think i can find any other better place than Singapura after my researches

Thinking somehow of leaving my current job here in Dubai and move to Singapore for a job hunt. well getting paid about 2200SGD could be a huge risk tho hein!

The main question now is will it be easy to find a job ? Can foreigner find jobs in there and go through the normal procedure smoothly? (like working permit and the normal stuff when u work abroad lor)

I got indonesian friends we used to study together in malaysia(Sunway) and are now working in S'pore, one of them he tried to work in M'sia but his working permit got reject (as they do to everyone recently my bestfriend from indo his got rejected too) but he is now working in S'pore .. pretty fair and organized S'pore huh!

The second question this before this job hunt i'll have to save good money incha allah so with that i can survive hopefully, if anyone can tell how much a person can spend in a month on an average spend?

I have been in S'pore on Xmas 2004 and the tsunami's eve too! what a coincidence rite lool ... surely things got changed now, i am planning a trip to S'pore soon this August well if the plan goes well hor

So guys Your advice, help and point of view will be very helpful and will appreciate it, will wait till then

cheers ^^

I'm thinking of working and living in Dubai.

I have a couple of friends already working there as expats.

How is life there ?

I heard, job opportunities are aplenty. Is this true ?

What is the cost of living like in Dubai ? Will it be ok for me to take on a local term job ?

According to my friends.. they say Dubai is one of the fastest growing economy in that region.. and living standards are pretty good.

What do you think ? Will it be a good move ?

Well, if like what you say, dubai is "leading" the economic world, why oh why do you have to try to come here and find a job? If they are so prosperous and successful why then must you come all the way here to find a job? Also, why must you specifically speculate that he must be chinese? Are YOU not generalising as well?

このやろう!

ndmmxiaomayi SG

It depends on what jobs. For sure, some jobs are quite tough for foreigners to land on.

angel7030 SG

Jamesbondbmw SG

well first lemme me say sorry that i only stated chinese i really apologize ha.. coz i just oopen my eyes n saw that n i i was late to go to office couldn't write everythg...

well dubai is leading but u must know one thing only its own ppl are too high paid and can survive and of course others but let say we as a mid-call ppl its hard but its possible am not discouragin u guys..jsut now i saw a job for 150,000 AED lamsap money ha .. they need a local think of it 1st... well cut that off nw

y i wanna move many reason one of them is this ur day will be office -- traffic-jam--sleep u see hardly can relax n go to teh tarek lah n go on mamak stores or chill out within friends after office time.. u've got to choose either sleep good or eat wid friend+sleep less or do house work n still sleep less.. u ve got like 4 hours which makes u frustrating n many ppl complainig abt it

like take my example to be on real scenario n clear i posted the previous message at arnd 7.15am n here i am posting this one rite after my shower n its 8 pm so u get it now do ur calculation.. aha c u got it now ^^ u get my point now guys.

luckily its weekend mah.. so far the feedback abt s'pore am getting its good.. but i need a crucial reply how much an average spend can be for a month?

gunner77 how does s'pore catogorize the FT?

well am an IT guy, holding CCNA(Cisco stuff) and soon incha allah MCSE(Microsoft stuff) B.Sc hons.. am i considered FT??

Froz3nFir3 SG

Singapore is as good as it gets.. Provided tt you got plenty of cash to spare too.. Earnin 2.2k is not a lot here.. You can't even buy a good car..

Yunhaier SG

Let me gently remind all pending posts - please leave 'speaker-corner-fueled-replies' at speaker corner: this chap is asking a genuine question and if you have nothing constructive to say, then even don't bother trying to hyperventilate all your frustration with the government in this topic.

Jamesbondbmw posted in good faith - I hope all of you will at least respect that.

Cheers

Jamesbondbmw SG

thats very positive and good what am saying its that 2.2k is in Dubai, but in S'pore they would pay around the same isn't it i can see salaries are around 2k to 3k( Seldom at 1.8k)
