I am in IT field, took me 1 year to find an acceptable offer.

  if so easy wun u still come here ?

HR is not easy at all, unless you have skills which others don't have. I'm also from HR and with 7 years experience in this field, still cannot get what I wanted. I should have gone there few years ago and not now...

Well, I will keep trying but I do have regional experience because my current role is a regional role and I'm supporting different countries. I used to support Singapore for a short term, now back to Malaysia + Philippines.

My boss is trying to transfer me to SG but at the same time I am also applying whenever I found any interesting position.

Nowadays?
Did you try in the old days and get lots of positive responses?

True i guess, but that's to be expected
It's the way it is in MY too, for foreigners

in blue, spot-on, there is one skill that locals can't offer >>>non-kiasu/kiasi, like me when I first step my foot here, I came with a mind set that I have got NOTHING TO LOSE ANYWAY

this is a skill that you can put to good use.

if one starts to compare too much with his/her current comfort zone, then    no venture u ll never know for the good or/ bad:thumbsup:

need to sabra la

in blue, its MOM requirement now, vacancy need to lock in job-bank for a set period, open to only sin/pr only. employer need to prove singaporen core assessment before can hire others

so whatever advertised in jobstreet or other portals means they have gone through job-bank and there were no local candidates applying then only they can open to foreign applicants?
