Hi all, how hard is it for non tech foreigner to get a job in Singapore? Anyone know about companies that may have quota?

I actually get an offer before from Singapore company but along the way they cancelled the offer since the quota rejected. Sad.

At the moment it’s hard. The minimum salaries have greatly increased, which means unless you are in a profession that’s in dire need of talent, it’s difficult to get in.

Same here. Interviewed for a finance role but they cancelled with the reason being no quota

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.
