Hi All I am an Indian currently working in Africa, just in case of finding a better prospect i would like to relocate to Singapore, to be honest from my side i come across a loads of Job offers in my industry of which most of them i will get suited. My question is whether to continue applying through various websites or take a chance and land in Singapore to get placed in a suitable offer. Kindly assist whether it is advisable to come to Singapore in a visit visa and look for a suitable Job directly or through a consultant , else keep applying unless i get shortlisted by an employer/recruitment agencies. Please also assist to suggest me a good & economic accommodation as i will be staying alone and searching a Job. Is there any chance that some companies provide accommodation to their staffs? Kindly assist, i shall count on your advise if my move is imminent... Thanks in advance

Hi

One thing I strongly advise you against is to come to Singapore and try and find a job. The Government announced further foreigner ceiling reductions in the 2012 budget which will make the already tough market even more difficult. You must secure a position with an employer with the relevant working pass before coming here.

Singapore housing is also expensive so make sure your new salary can cope with the financial demands.

Hope that helps.
