So I have sort of settled down in SG....after X
months…lawfully employed.
During the 8 months i have learned that due
to the global downturn plenty of folks had wanted to
come to work in singapore ........headhunters in
Singapore are flooded with calls and resumes from
the US, Canada, the EU other than the immediate Asian
countries to apply for jobs in Singapore.
Jobs vacancies posted are applied thru internet from all
over the World. So if you think why companies
don't response for overseas candidates because you are
not the only person applied.
Companies no longer have Human resource for recruitment,
but Talent Recruiter most likely they are outsource within HR
department.
In Singapore Salaries and experiences does not necessary
come hand in hand. With the appreciation of SG currency Salary is
negotiated at Price Point. Cost of living is pretty high in
Singapore so do not assume your US salary is going to pay for
living expenses in Singapore.
On the good news to All Singaporean.....still there is a
direction for Singapore organization to prefer to hire local
Citizen first.....!!!! Because of excessive foreigners
proportion.
I met plenty of returnees from NY, L.A. Indian
profession from US, and European...........some of
them lived so closed together when i was in
Los Angeles.......!
So if you are overseas and for employment reason have
to return to Sing. If the Heat don't kill you....You
probably can survived..... not too bad ...cause i have met
lots of returnees already waiting for the next
jump....heeee...!!!!
Every morning I take the train to work….the first leg of
my journey I am one of the few Singaporean in the train most are
foreign workers……and foreign financial consultants.
So how’s my work...............every morning I got into
office.....I say ......."Ohaiyo to my
colleague.....than "Ang yong ha sa yo"
.....follow by Bonjourno.......than Sawadeeca..to .....and
nanmastay to my working buddy.......and plenty of Malaysian
....Lah.......
I work with my vendors also happen to be Filipinas,
Malaysian, other asian.....
So on a day 2 day basis I found myself have very limited
contact with Local Singaporean….Did I say I return to Singapore!!!!
The only time I am reminded I am in Singapore is during lunch time
I go to the canteen and order my Chicken Rice.
Thank God it still taste the same.....
SG companies preferred to hire Singaporeans because they are cheap,
hardworking, easy to enslave and threaten, less likely to cause
trouble because Singaporeans are fearful because they have alot
more to lose compared to foreigners, no overheads for
accomodations/visas.
It's not because you are loved by them when you imagined you're
being loved.
Singaporeans who can only be employed in Singapore and by
Singapore companies aren't winners but losers in their society.
It doesn't matter how much money you can earn, it's really about
how much options and choices you have at your disposal.
When you have zero option and choice, you are definitely not
winning in your job and life.
Take a look at Fandi Ahmad, true blue Singapore winner. Soon his
sons will be kicking balls overseas and their sons will be kicking
balls in the galaxy. Best thing that Singaporean can do is to be a
physiotherapist and wipe the sweats off their cocks in the locker
room.
