Thanks very much for your encouraging words!
My motivation to work in Singapore has ONE reason and ONE reason
ONLY:
I want to live in a tropical climate, the more tropical, the
better!!
So now I am torn apart:
Should I try to get a job in Singapore with its perfect tropical
climate or should I just stay in Germany where there's better pay
(and living costs are lower) and also better working conditions
(comfortable part-time position)?
Rather than walking in for an interview, I would like to come
across a recruitment fair and check everything out there.
Thanks again, 'SBS 1000U', for your very helpful post, I
appreciate that!

Hi,
I'm not sure how long you will be staying here but I don't think
there will be any recruitment fair for these few months.
Anyway, I feel that if the motivation is because of the weather,
then I feel that you should think thrice. Singapore is a very hot
country and the average temperature has been and will continue to
increase year after year. We are already feeling the heat amid of
all the overcroading everywhere. Sometimes we wish we can go and
live somewhere temperate. Our tropical climate isn't so perfect
too. Just my personal opinion.
Secondly, the basic wages of a BC is not as attractive as what
you are getting in Germany, (pay is low but living expenses are
very high). Moreover, the work schedule is very hectic; i.e, you
need to be punctual for all your bus trips everyday or you will be
penalised, need to work for long hours weekly, need to
rush within the schedule within the high traffic volumes, high
passengers volumes, countless traffic lights and constructions
obstructions, and other problems. Unless you are comforatble
with this, because the pace of life and work isn't the same as it
is in Germany.
If I am you, I would choose to continue to work as a BC in
Germany, as working conditions are much better and you can earn a
decent pay for a living. So I recommend you to take account into
all these factors before you decide to embark a career as a BC
here. Unless you are really passionate about being a BC here and
the main reason to work here is about your passion, else I feel it
is better to work in Germany for the same career.
However, if you are really keen in working in an Asian country,
maybe you can try Hong Kong. The BC market is bigger there and they
have lots of modern buses over there. Not sure about the wages and
the job environment there but maybe you can try to find out.
Hope all these helps.
