Hi Isabel

Happy New Year!

I have been trying to do the same but I haven't had any luck! I have applied for many jobs but don't get any response or get rejection.

Looks like the job market is not that easy!

I been looking for around 2 months now but I have not yet moved to Singapore. Hoping I can first secure a job before taking this step.

Regards,
Jekil

Hola Jekil,

I have been here for over a month, being applying for three months...

The same... That's why I was asking to the community! For any kind of tips or anything...

I was doing the same from Spain and I just got one interview through Skype and at the end I didn't get selected.

I wish us the best to this new year!

Good luck with the applications 馃愤

Yeah, tips from the community would be really good and hopefully would help us to secure a job.

I'm currently in London.

I hope so too. Really wanna move to Singapore!

May I know what job are you looking for? You should go through agency before come in Singapore , not easy to find a good job just fly in 1-2 month, I myself as SPR also took me 8 month to get a job.
Good luck

Hello there,

I understand what you mean. For me, it has not been easy to start with interviews and I feel this is a competitive market.
I have a diverse background but I am looking into bilingual positions in international companies. I also have experience as a teacher.

Kind regards,
Isabel

Hi there,

My Husband is Turkish and I'm currently looking for a job for him in Singapore (I'm a Singaporean citizen). I have no idea where to start or look and am wondering if anyone here can point me in the right direction? He has a degree and teaching experience as well and is fluent in both English and Turkish.

Also, do I apply for a Long term visit pass for him? I'm hoping that he is able to get a job before moving over to Singapore.

You can apply for an LTVP for him at ICA - but he is not allowed to work on an LTVP.
An LTVP+, which allows work on LoC, is only possible after three years of marriage or having a (Singaporean) child.
I recommend he should apply for an EP after finding a job.
If he has a recognised educational degree, he can apply at MoE and private schools.
