JobsCentral Career Fair & Learning Fair 2013

The JobsCentral Career & Learning Fair has been a popular event for jobseekers and education-minded people in Singapore, since its inauguration in 2006. With its primary focus on employment and strong education twist, the JobsCentral Career & Learning Fair serves as a platform for job and education seekers to meet potential employers and training organisations, in a casual yet professional setting.

This annual job fair event is held in partnership with the five polytechnics in Singapore, and aims to attract over 60,000 jobseekers, with the majority of them having at least diplomas and degrees.

The dates for the event in 2013 have not yet been announced.

The dates for this Singapore career fair in 2013, have not been announced as of now. Previously the event has been held in the month of May.

SEED Institute Preschool Job Fair 2013

If teaching young children is your passion, then you could attend the SEED Institute Pre-school Job Fair to find out more about the job opportunities and training available.

In recent years, the Early Childhood industry has been on the road of rapid growth. Over the next 5 years, there will be 200 new childcare centres opening. As a result, the industry will need 1,000 new English teachers to meet such increase in demands. To facilitate this recruitment, SEED Institute conducts monthly recruitment drives where they invite various pre-school sector operators to give talks and conduct interviews on their premise.

Visit their website, for details of upcoming events and Singapore job fairs.

Preveena

Hi Amit,

I am looking for an IT Job at Singapore.I am working for Infosys Technology India.I have resigned my job.Is it a wise choice to make a trip to Singapore just to attend thsi job fair that is scheduled to happen in March?Will I have enough scope and potential employers in IT(Especially Datawarehousing)?Please suggest.Depending on your suggestion I mite take a decision.Thanks in advance.If I miss this job fair when is the next job fair?I have a work expeeince of 3 years.
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Preveena,
  
  I typically do not advice foreigners to visit Singapore, just to attend a job fair. Try and line-up some other meetings/interviews during that time, to make the most of your trip.
  
  I don’t think JobsDB has provided a listing of employers/companies participating in the job fair yet. They typically release this information, around 1 month before the job fair. So you would need to check back in some time to get an idea of employers taking part in the career fair. What you can also do, is have a look at the career fair website/information for previous years, to get an idea of of what to expect.
  
  The job fairs are all held once a year.
  - preveena
    
    Thanks a lot for ur inputs Amit.I am a little dubious about how to get the list of recruiting firms/consultants for IT feild.I dont get most of them in my net search.I get a very few top recruting firms only.Any other ways to find head hunters in Singapore?Also,I think there is still some time for JOBSDB to release the list of companies participating in job fair because it starts only on 25th .Do umean to say its not very worth to participate in job fairs?they dont help a little bit also?where do i check what are the companies taking part?.I got this info abt job fair on ur website onl;y.thanks to u for that.Any help on it recruiters will be of great help to me.And I am applying my epec this week.I hope it gets approved so that i can go with epec for a job search.
    
    Thanks
    Preveena
    - Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
      
      Preveena - If you search the internet for (IT/General) employment agencies and/or recruiters, you should find most of them listed in the search results. You will also find directories (e.g. yellowpages, streetdirectory), where you could get some leads. You can then check the company websites to see if they have IT recruitment as a specialisation/division and also call them to ask (in case nothing is mentioned on their website).
      
      For career fairs, what I’m saying is that I don’t think it’s worth travelling to Singapore just for the fair, because if you don’t get any job leads (which can certainly happen), you won’t get maximum benefit from your trip. So try and setup other meetings/interviews around the same time, so that you don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Hi Mr. Amit,

This is a very informative article and posting. Keep up the good work.
By the way, please include my email czarjeff@yahoo.com for future news related to this. I’m actually sharing your articles to my friends since we are always anticipating job fairs in SG.
It’s my way of sharing God’s blessing to them through wonderful people like yourself. It has been my practice since to help other people too especially those who are just starting in their overseas job hunting.

Have a great week ahead my friend.

- Mitesh
  
  Hi Amit,
  
  I am planning to apply for my EPEC visa in a weeks time. I had couple of questions.
  1) I am not sure what kind of jobs will i get and how much will it pay me. If you can help me with this i can send you my CV.
  2) An agent here is charging Rs 25000 to get an EPEC visa, should i spend or apply on my own.
  
  Thanks
  Mitesh
  - Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
    
    Hi Mitesh - Regarding hiring an agent for EPEC, it depends on your background, what you think your chances are and whether the agent can really increase the chances of you getting the EPEC. Ask them what their success rates are and whether they have got the EPEC for people with your background successfully (perhaps you can ask to speak with a few past clients as well to get feedback).
    
    Might be a good idea to evaluate providers in Singapore also.
    - Mitesh
      
      Hi Amit,
      Thanks for your prompt response
      
      As suggested by you, I will inquire with my agent regarding their past success with EPEC.
      
      I am a Management Graduate with over 8 years of experience in Training, Quality, and customer service. I have worked in financial sector and BPO’s. My last designation was Assistant Manager Training & Quality in Citi Financial.
      
      Would appreciate your help in terms of finding a job for me. I will be finalizing my EPEC visa documentation in a weeks time.
      I have also registered on your website
      Thanking in anticipation.

Deepa

Hi Amit,

This is Deepa from India. I am planning on doing my Masters in Information Systems at NTU coming August. I have 2 years work experience in the IT industry, in the field of Data Warehousing.

I have the following queries:

1. What are my chances of getting a job in Singapore once I complete my graduation?
2. Would by previous work experience help? If so, how?
3. Are there VISA/Immigration issues?
4. Is there a demand for graduates who have done MSIS?
Kumar

Hi Amit,

Myself and my wife are HR Professionals (Generalists). We would like to know if Indians are recruited for the HR Positions in Singapore. HR Being a critical and sensitive management position, we had a doubt about this!!

We have a plan to visit MY & SG job fare, during our 10 days trip to KUL & SIN between 18th March & 28th March.

We planned the trip in such as way to explore the opportunities in our field, if its worth & wise Kindly advice.

Thanks
Kumar
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Kumar,
  
  Yes, HR is an area where it is tougher for foreigners to get a job.
  
  That being said, there are always exceptions to the rule and there are foreigners working in HR roles in Singapore. So worth a shot.
  
  You could also look at related roles, such as HR consulting, recruitment, career services teams in universities and so on.
  
  Do try and meet people in your target companies and some recruiters as well, during the visit. Don’t pin all hopes on the career fair

Hi Amit

Iam a Chemical Engineer Profession with 3 years of experiance in Production Planning. Iam a DP holder in Singapore
Iam an active job seeker.
Is there any scope regarding my profile in this job fair?

Thanks
Nithya
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hard to say Nithya. You’ll just have to land-up and find out
Kumar

Hi Amit,
First of all I must tell, you are doing a wonderful job for especially foreign job seekers like us. Your articles are really helpful to get a better understanding about the Singapore job market. I’m also planning to migrate to Singapore from this May and before that, I will be coming for this Career Fair too.

Right now I’m holding a Senior Software Quality Assurance position in a multinational company and have about 5 years of industrial Software QA experience. I would like to know the job demand for Software QA positions in Singapore. And also what would be the salary range for a candidate like me (with 5 years of experience with required educational qualification) in the industry.
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Thank you Kumar. Appreciate your feedback.
  
  You would need to gauge the demand from the number of job advertisements on the internet and your interactions with recruiters/hiring managers.
  
  For information on salary, have a look at this article, which provides a listing of all the sources/information available (12 Useful Salary Surveys & Revealing Salary Guides - https://www.sandboxadvisors.com/insights/transition-job-search-strategy/singapore-salaries-sources-surveys-reports-salary-increments/)
  
  Also check job advertisements - some of them provide information on the salary range that can be expected.
Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to address all the questions which follow the format

“I am working as _________ in _________ industry and in _______ country. Please provide advice/suggestions/ideas/opportunities for getting a job in Singapore”

To answer the question -> There is no secret formula that I have which will help you get a job in Singapore. To find a job in any place (including Singapore), the things you need to do are:

1) Do some initial research to get information on your target job/sector (requirements, prospects, etc), types of visas, procedure for visa application, etc. Make any required preparations accordingly

2) Prepare a good resume/cover letter and practice your interview responses

3) Search and apply for jobs on local/niche job boards

4) Contact recruiters/employment agencies to see if they can help

5) Contact hiring managers and other people in your target companies directly. Use your existing contacts for this and also engage in online networking, using tools like LinkedIn

6) Diligently track/monitor all your job search activities, so you know what’s working and what isn’t. Change your approach accordingly

7) Keep getting feedback from the market i.e. whenever you manage to speak with a recruiter or hiring manager ask them how competitive your background is, get suggestions for companies/roles you could target, ask what you need to do in order to be more competitive (e.g. get a particular certification), etc.

8.) If you are not seeing much success, then it might make sense to put the job search on hold and based on the feedback you get from the market, do whatever needs to be done to become a competitive candidate

There are a number of articles/videos on our website which provide practical tips on all the above. Do have a look at the Transition & Job Search Strategy category.

So there is not much more advice that I can provide for general questions such as “Can I get a job in Singapore”, “How do I get a job in Singapore” , “Any advice for getting a job in Singapore” , “Are there job opportunities for people with my background in Singapore” and so on. For this you will need to refer to the points I outlined above, read the material on our website and dive into the job search.

Where I could help and be of use, is if you have specific questions on a particular strategy/suggestion/piece of information in our articles, or if you need help with specific roadblocks that you are facing during your job search. Just post a comment under the relevant article or send us an email and I will be sure to revert.

Good luck!
Karthikeyan

Hi Amit,

I am from Bangalore,India. I am working for Duestche Bank as Analyst with 6.5 yrs of experience. My profile is into MIS reporting and Analysis.Currently I am looking for a job in Singapore through a job agency- Opulentus.I applied for EPEC and it got rejected and now the job agency advised to apply for Social Visit Pass.As per the job agency, if I stay in Singapore for a month the chances of getting a good job is high. I would not be able to make it this month i.e job fair held from March 25th to 28th.
Please advise me if I miss this opportunity will it be feasible for me to get a job in April or May-11? Or can you please let me know if there is any job fair conducted in Singapore in the month of April or May-11.

Regards
Karthikeyan
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Karthikeyan,
  
  It is definitely easier to search for a job on the ground, so that does make sense.
  
  For the career fairs, JobsDB and JobsCentral are the biggest ones held in Singapore. Both those job fairs are not in April/May.
Fern

Hi Amit,

Just wondering if you have another date on the job fair coming in Singapore this year aside this March,..thanks in advance..

Majane

Dear Amit,

I worked as Tax Supervisor for more than 2 years in KPMG Philippines (auditing firm). Moreover, I also worked as a customer service representative for a local bank in the Philippines for almost 2 years. I have a double degree - Financial Management and Accountancy; and already a Certified Public Accountant.

I have been receiving email invite to apply to different Singapore-based companies. However, my dilemma is I don’t know what “expected salary” should I indicate as one of the requirements of those companies when i apply as accountant or tax analyst.

I hope you could help me with this.

Thank you very much.

Avni Shastri

Hi Amit,

I have shifted to Singapore in 2010 since than I have been applying online , through job portals for postings in Hotels (Admin/HR). I am here with a dependant pass.

Please advice which is a better way to search and apply for jobs also would be really great if you give me a clear idea of oppurtunities for dependant pass holders.

Thanks & Regards,
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Avni,
  
  To start with, here is one article that will certainly help you and add another job search method to your arsenal - Aunt’s Evening Walk + LinkedIn = Successful Job Search.
  
  Following that, have a look at the articles under the ‘Transition & Job Search Strategy’ category on our website [click here]. They will help you make your job search in Singapore more effective.
  
  There is also a relevant discussion on LinkedIn, under the Singapore Careers group, which is titled ‘Looking for Jobs in Singapore while on Dependant Pass’. Have a look at that as well.
  
  Let me know if you have any more questions/concerns
Britanny Brown

This a very helpful article. Thanks for the list. You just helped a lot of people by doing this. I’ll definitely share this to everyone.
puneet choubey

Hi Amit,
I am looking for a job in Hotel / F&B/ Restaurants in a senior level position. I have more then 10 years of International working experience in the hospitality industry.
Would you suggest Singapore for me?

Regards
PUNEET
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Puneet,
  
  That question is way too broad/general I’m afraid
  
  But let me try and answer anyway.
  
  Whether Singapore makes sense for you would depend on a few things, some of which are:
  
  1) The demand for people with your expertise: Once you start an active job search you will get an indication of this
  
  2) Will Singapore provide the lifestyle that you want for yourself (and your family). If you let me know your criteria for this, I could provide my thoughts
K.TEJA

I am fresh graduate Mechanical Engg.(B.E.) from Nanyang Technological University,Singapore. I am an Indian.

I was a SIA-NOL scholarship holder and my B.E.,studies were fully funded by SIA-NOL,for which I have signed SIX year bond with SIA-NOL to serve Singapore country.

Since July 2011, I obtained my B.E. degree, I have been applying for various posts related to Mechanical engineering but no avail till this date.
It is noticed that almost all employers are insisting for PR status to consider my application for a post.
It is six months past and I incurred lot of expenditure by remaining in Singapore with private accomodation and extended visa.

Will you please guide me how I can meet my commitment to serve Singapore without a PR status and waiting for a post like this with endless effort of applying for posts?

Sincerely
K.Teja
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hello Teja,
  
  For the bond were there any particular employers/sponsoring companies specified? Perhaps you can focus your efforts on these companies first and ask your scholarship contact to provide you with details of some people you can get in touch with.
  
  Yes, many jobs advertisements do ask that applicants are Singapore Citizens or PRs. All you can do is to avoid wasting time on such advertisements/employers. When searching on job boards use the advanced search form to exclude advertisements with the words citizen, permanent resident, PR, etc. You should also contact employers directly, in order to bypass recruitment agencies and job ads. Have a look at this article on job search networking for details.

Clarinda Fuentes Sabellano

I am HR practitioner and having experience in several fields such as marketing, operations and administrative job as well.
I have plan to visit Singapore hoping to find job.
Is this possible at this moment?
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Clarinda,
  
  You can certainly visit Singapore to find a job.
  
  Before visiting try and apply for some jobs and contact a few relevant employers, to see how they respond and if possible have some meetings/interviews setup before you arrive.
  
  Good luck!
Isel

Hi,

I am working as call center agent for almost 5 years now. I am planning to apply in Singapore. I was advised that a job fair will be held from March 1-4. I wont be able to make it that is why I am afraid that when I arrived in Singapore there will be less employers who will be needing employees. Any suggestions?

Thanks…
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Isel,
  
  Yes, many people do find jobs at a career fair but I don’t think they reduce the number of available jobs by that large an extent.
  
  Also, job fairs in Singapore cater mostly to locals, so the impact on foreign job seekers is less. Have a look at this article for more information on this - Should You Attend The JobsCentral Career Fair.

Bhupendra

Hi,

Can I please ask if there will be a Job Fair organised in London for jobs in Singapore. I came to know that there was a such a Job Fair in London last year.

Please let me know details if there will be one in London.

Regards,
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Bhupendra,
  
  I’m afraid I don’t really know much about career fairs in London, for jobs in Singapore. I think it would be better to check with some local sources.
  
  If you provide me with more details of the event you heard about, I can let you know more about the organiser. usefulness, etc.
Clarinda Fuentes Sabellano

Hi,Amit. Thanks for the info. but how can i find companies in singapore or schedule for interview which i don’t know any company base in Singapore.That’s the reason why i will attend career job fair on March 1-4 at suntec.

- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Joy,
  
  I don’t think any of the big career fairs will be held in February 2012. Do check the e2i website for any specialised events that might pop-up though.
  
  If you subscribe to our newsletter you’ll receive updates when dates are announced for any of the remaining job fairs in Singapore.

i am a web designer with 8 yrs experience in IT companies and my husband posses Master degree in Electronics and Communication. We are in singapore since Dec 2011, its been two months now but cannot find a job.
My husband registered himself in jobsdb.com and also went to many agencies personally but dont know why agents are not replying. Is it that he is over qualified? what r his scopes getting job here?.He went back to India last week as we thought to better continue with our engineering institute business mean while rather than doing nothing and just waiting for the reply.
I am still in Singapore as m studing here, but m ready to quit my college and cancel student pass if i get S pass or E pass.
Pls suggest what we should do? Thanks

  Hi Dhara,
  
  There could be several reasons due to which your husband is not getting a response from recruiters/employers.
  
  I will send an email with details of how we might be able to help.

Hello Amit,

Awesome job Amit. Nice of you to have created this link and reply for so many queries here. Way to go !

Well certain points which I wanted to ask you, has been asked by various people here and I could see your replies as well.

Anywyas I shall ask u certain questions , pls do reply for whichever makes sense to you.

I am an Indian B.Tech , MBA graduate working in HR domain right now and have IT experience before my masters.I am eagerly lookign forward to get a job in singapore inspired by its systematic procedures and lifestyle.Hence I am interested to participate in the JobsDB career expo this march 2012. My quesitons are

1. Whats the prospect of non singaporean ( not holding work permit of PR or any other singapore native proof) getting a job in singapore ?
2. As I could see many here are about to fly sG to search job in the expo, can you let me know the prospect of getiing a job through these career expo esplly for foreigners
3. In case of EPEC rejection, what are the ways to enter SG to participate int he career expo?
4. Can I approach your firm ( that you work for ) or you in person regarding any job opening on consulting front. Does your company caters to foreigner recruitment? If so How can I approach ?
5. IS there any one ( non isngaporean/ non PR) who have already participated in such kinda expo and got job ? If so kindly le me know their details

TIA

Dear Ms. Preveena , I am slo int he process of flying to SG. Can you please share some important information that you have gathered. Am an Ex-Infoscion too.
TIA
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Thank you Saravanan!
  
  1. That’s the first question people ask me. And my answer is always the same - I don’t have a crystal ball that predicts the future . So I can’t tell you the chances of getting a job in Singapore. It varies by individual and the only way you’ll know is to start a full-blown job search and get feedback from the market.
  
  2. Job fairs cater mostly to locals, so I don’t recommend that you visit Singapore just to attend a fair. Have a look at this related article for more details - Should You Attend The JobsCentral Career Fair?
  
  3. You can still enter and look for a jobs in Singapore on a social visit pass.
  
  4. We don’t provide employment agency services. What we do is career/job search counselling and training.

Hi, I am holding an EPEC and looking for a job. Could you please let me know if it is better to come there and look for a job while attending job fairs. Thanks for your help! Bhasha
Steve

Hi Amit,

How is the process of applying for jobs in career fairs in Singapore? Do the companies do interviews or tests during the fairs? Or do they just collect all the resumes and contact the applicants later on? I am planning to have my friend help me submit my resume, is that OK?

What documents do I need to submit? Is it only my resume or do I need to submit other documents, such as education certificate and transcript, passport copy, photo, cover letter, etc?

Thanks
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Steve,
  
  It varies but many do have an initial interview on the spot, to help them decide which candidates to call for ‘proper’ interviews/assessments later on.
  
  I think having a friend submit your resume defeats the purpose of the career fair. The main benefit it provides to you as a job seeker is that you have physical access to recruiters/employers. Otherwise you might as well just send them your resume via email, to add to their database.
  
  Also many job fairs (like the JobsDB Career Expo for example) have an electronic resume system. So everything is online and in electronic form, include job seeker resumes.
Eliyandi chia

Hi Amit..

I would like to ask is there any job vacancy for cook at the career fair ?? i means for fresh graduate.

Thank you
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Eliyandi,
  
  More likely so if you attend a career fair which is specialised in that area.
  
  Most job fairs will provide a list of participating employers/recruiters and some also have a list of jobs. Do have a look at those.

I would like to ask, is it possible for me to be hired if i will attend for a job fair even if i’m a foreigner and i handled only a visit pass? Actually I’ve sent a lot of online application for one month and I haven’t received any of my application.

Thank you and GODBLESS

  It is certainly is possible Laiza.
  
  Having said that, do keep in mind that most of the career/job fairs in Singapore are really geared towards people already working here.

I have a Query My husband is working in the field of Investment Banking, are there ant jobs available in that Field. Can he walk in Job fair 2012 which is scheduled i guess in the month ofAugust 2012.
- Amit Puri - Managing Consultant, Sandbox Advisors
  
  Hi Namita,
  
  He would need to register for the job fair online, after which he can attend.
  
  Typically investment banking related employers/recruiters don’t really participate in career fairs in Singapore. But do check the list of participants closer to the date, to see if there is anything you’re interested in.

  Hello Srinivas,
  
  Most of the job fairs cater to people already in Singapore. So they will be the majority of people getting hired.
  
  Foreigners do get some opportunities as well but I don’t recommend visiting Singapore just for a career fair.
  
  There are some job fairs being planned this year, which will be more suited for foreigners and I will provide updates when confirmed news is available.

Hi Amit! Is it still possible for me to land a job even though I had a previous record in SG as Domestic helper? It happened four years ago that I also had to leave SG for me to start a new career. After all these years, I am ready to go back to Singapore with my skills and experience.

One more thing, will there be any problem with MOM in issuing an E pass or S Pass if in case I got accepted in a job since I had a previous record as Domestic Helper? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!
- https://www.sandboxadvisors.com Amit Puri (Sandbox Advisors)
  
  Hi j63,
  
  If you get a job, I don’t see why not.
  
  I would suggest that you call-up the MOM to be absolutely certain though. They will provide all the information/confirmation you need.
  
  All the best.
  - j63
    
    I tried to call them up several times but couldn’t speak to anyone. What they only have is a voice recorder. Thanks a lot!

      At some point the recorder should give an option to speak with a representative. You could try emailing them as well.

  Hi Archie,
  
  I wish I had such a list in an easily usable format but I don’t unfortunately .
  
  You could apply for jobs in your industry/function on the different job sites in Singapore. You can also try using directories like yellow pages and green book.
  
  Another way would be to search for people on LinkedIn who are working in your industry/function and see which companies they are with.

  Other than career fairs, you can contact recruitment agencies and also engage in physical networking(events, seminars, etc.) and social networking (linkedin, twitter) to meet with relevant people and find job opportunities.

Hi
What do you think about the chances of hiring a foreigner in IT network/system admin or security in job fair by job central. is it wise decision just for coming and attending interviews at job fair. do i get any chance.they said the people who do not have work visa only can attend 2nd day.

    Amit, it seems very strange to me that recruiters don’t reflect on foreigners. I haven’t been contacted at all, even if I know I have a very sought-after experience (20 years)in the oil and gas industry. Is it difficult to obtain a work permit if a company apply for it on your behalf? Are there any reasons why Singaporean government should deny an work application? Tax income etc? Do you know why a job permit cannot be issued prior to having a job?

Hello Mr.Amit,

I have recently moved
to Singapore to join my partner, who is a Singapore citizen and who currently
resides and works here. I’m therefore looking for a career progression in
Singapore and would appreciate an opportunity.

I graduated in London
with a HND in Hospitality Management, and have over 5 years of experience in
the hospitality industry with 3 years in a management position. My latest
employment was with London Marriott Hotel West India Quay, and prior to that,
The Eton Collection, Threadneedles – both of which are 5-star hotels in London.
In both roles, I have successfully groomed and managed front office teams and
overseen front office operations.

I appreciate your time in this matter. I hope to hear from you soon

Kind regards

Diego Domingo

Hi Amit,

I am currently residing in Bangalore with over 5 years of experience in the Finance field and would like to apply for similar roles in Singapore. I was thinking to be there in person to apply for jobs. I will be visiting Singapore for a period of 15 days(first two weeks of April). Would that be a good idea and how do I go about doing it. should I shortlist some consultancies or are there any agencies that help experienced foreign professionals ? Please advise..

  Hi TJ,
  
  Try and fix as many meeting/interviews as you can before arriving in Singapore, since the 2 weeks will go by quite fast. Before and during your visit use all the job search methods i.e. jobs sites, recruiters and online/physical networking.
  
  There are no consultancies that specialise in helping foreign professionals as such. So you could just contact a few of the local and international ones, and see how it goes.

Sneha Nair

hi amit,
Greetings
Heard a lot about you.

I am Sneha, Basically from Mumbai, I am in Singapore right now in search of job on social visit pass. But all i can find here is job openings for Pr’s and Singaporeans. i am from a sales background. I thought inorder to survive here and extend my social visit pass i will search for basic jobs like waitress and service crew.. but even for these jobs you need to be a singaporean. I have approached certain consultancies..but they ask for bulk application fees and dont guarantee jobs as well. so pls help me to know how to find any job within a short time? All i want now is a pass to survive here anyhow as i am not willing to go back to my country rightnow. Plz help me out!
