Hi all
Just wondering how difficult it is to find work in Singapore. My wife has been employed for 2 years and I will be looking for work. I currently work as a clerk but I am open to anything. My experience has been in the hosptal and disability fields but again I am open to a new challenge. I will be arriving in Singapore in January.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for that happygolucky, but I have no speciality. I have clerical and Occ Heath & Safety experience in hospitals . I have taken a look on the site and I will continue to look.
Thanks again

Theres one thing you should watch out for though. Being an Aussie probably means you have some sort of criminal record right? Bread stealing perhaps ;-)

You might want to keep that one under the carpet. Anyways, food is very cheap here, so no worries cobber

Hi Rosamaria,
You need to get a job first before you come to Singapore to work. Foreigners need a work permit to work here. So, you can't just come to Singapore to find a job like a local. No one will employ you without a work permit. So, get a job first and the company is likely to get the work permit done for you.
