QUOTE(KilJim @ Nov 24 2015, 11:25 PM) Just do it then, you should be quite young so even if SG is not the final destination there's no harm Just keep applying, there's no secret formula to getting a job in SG Start lower if you're willing to work your way up I am 25 this years ... came to china 2years plus and decided to start fresh .... Singapore is definitely just one of my pit stop ... Don't mind to start low ... My position is bottom level, basic is low too ... But RMB <> MYR keep raising ... Now I spend more than 400MYR compare with last time for nothing ... Everyday eat oily food  Still thinking to switch or remain current field but according to my job hunting for few months so far (for current field), I can't see my future. So, I am exploring ...

QUOTE(gn9746203 @ Nov 24 2015, 09:21 PM) Hi, all I am currently working long term oversea in China ... Plan to come back to Malaysia ... As I want to take care my family so I am planning to get a job in Singapore ... I have close to 3 years experience in software engineering ... Currently hunting for job ... I plan to switch my programming language too because I am currently using ancient language... Don't mind to start fresh ... Tried monster and jobstreet so far no luck ... Any suggestion ? Working in China can hardly be use as 'leverage' in your resumè. Most of the time ppl work in China is to enter a less competitive market and draw a higher salary. Some of which failed to complete or going no where it other places before going China. And yeah, Sg is a hell a lot more competitive. |
