The fact that she has 7 years experience doesn't matter if there are sufficient locals to fill those positions. The reason for bringing expats into the country is to fill jobs that either they do not have sufficient qualified people to fill or the locals refuse to do those kinds of menial labour. Why should they just open their doors and let all and sundry just waltz in an take their jobs?

Because it happens in every country on the planet? All successful economies are based on a mixture of local and ex pat work forces.

I really wish people would stop posting this "it's impossible to get a job if your're not local" rubbish on here.

It flies in the face of reason. To claridy, Singaporean employers, in my experience do not give every single job they have to nationals, just because they are Singaporean, and qualified for it.

They have quotas to fill, of course. But if you are livinig there, apply for a job, and are qualified, you'll have a decent shout, no matter what your passport says.

I can't help but think people like you just come on here trying to put people off trying.

This theory that Singapore employers will only hire Singaporeans, for all jobs, is just plain false.
