Re: Moving to Singapore
I've always found doing as much research as you can and never forgetting to say please or thank you to be tips worth remembering.

I agree Hannieroo, well said!!!
Hello marion83,
Here's Tip 1, which bakedbean has already mentioned: Make yourself a cuppa and start thoroughly READING all the existing forum topics on Singapore.
Tip 2: You had better be more specific and more forthcoming about yourself and what kind of a job you are after. No one else will bother to reply with such a vague and seemingly self-centred post as yours (but it might boil down to your command of the English language).
Tip 3: Bear this in mind: Unless you are being seconded or sponsored by a Singapore-based company that believes you have a skill or knowledge no other Singaporean in the job market may have, finding a job in Singapore on your own will be an uphill battle. Since 2009 the government has clamped down massively on granting permanent residencies, employment passes and work permits to foreigners, and this year is no exception.
