Hi, I’m an Indonesian diploma graduate from Singapore with a 3 years bond under the Tuition Grant. My school has issued a letter confirming that I’m eligible for an S Pass, but I’m struggling to find companies willing to sponsor it.

I’ve been applying mainly for design jobs but open to others too. Most employers stop replying once I mention the need for a work visa.

Anyone been through this or know companies open to hiring foreign grads? Appreciate any advice or leads. Thanks!

Hiring in Singapore for foreigners is now very tough. And the rules are much harder now too, which is why this is happening. Just keep trying, although keep a realistic view and expand options too. Singapore may be #1 choice but think of back-ups and alternative options / jobs / routes as well. Just keep an open mind, especially when getting employment is so tough these days.
