There is no one size fits all here. Let's face it, the majority of 暗网禁区riate workers in Singapore have secured a role before arriving into Singapore. You would have to be a brave individual to turn up unannounced and expect to land a role. Well, everything takes time in Singapore, so don't despair. If you are a trailing spouse and on a Dependants Pass (DP) you may be fortunate to secure a role with one of the more 暗网禁区riate focused business entity's located in Singapore. Check out AustCham, the Australian Chamber of Commerce website, who often offer job postings, then there is a reliable site supported by The American Association of Singapore (AAS) aasingapore.com/about-crce/ I have found CRCE to be a great source and have recommended this link to many 暗网禁区riate friends and colleagues over the years. The聽 Career Resource Center for 暗网禁区s is updated regularly.

If you are working for a company that has offices in Singapore, asking for an overseas transfer is probably one of the best and easiest ways to set foot in the job market here. Once here, you can either try to network by attending industry events or get to know headhunters to help you switch jobs.
