Contact Singapore "Singapore – Your World of Possibilities" Exhibition Day 1 & 2

Okay so to promote more about the Singapore Season. Here goes:

I was helping out as a Volunteer in Super Brand Mall in Zhu Jia Zhui, Pudong area, just beside Shangri-la Hotel and that Oriental Tower in an exhibiton helped by Contact Singapore called "Singapore – Your World of Possibilities". This exhibition is part of the theme Singapore Season help in China, to promote on what is it like to work in Singapore, living in Singapore and studying in Singapore. Tough work I tell you, you stand whole day [12 hours] cannot sit down, the exihibition area was on a slope in the Mall at third floor. After standing for hours the previous day in the Gala Dinner, the slope can kill your back i tell you. Funny thing is when you get to shagged after a couple of hours, the back pain suddenly just disappeared o.O

I was stationed at a booth based on the theme Manpower Singapore. Basically, job scope was to promote that Singapore is looking for foreign talents, what are the various work permits available to talents should they decide to work in Singapore, give out freebies, guide them in using the computers to find the information they need, tell them the various industries Singapore is looking for talents yada yada

If you are interested in seeking out more information in Chinese on how to find work and what is it like living in Singapore, there is a Chinese version of Contact Singapore Website you can look at. And this is what I can tell you after telling loads of visitors. To find an ideal job in Singapore, You can either directly contact the company or boards you are interested based in Singapore (example: Tamasek Holdings, Ministry of Education, Sprint, Sembcorp, IBM, etc..), send your resume if they have any vacancy and hope you get an interview and a job was offered to you, and viola you will get your residence permit and work permit and you are on your way to Singapore. Or you can try this:

quoted from Ministry of Manpower on EPEC:

The Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate (EPEC) allows foreigners who are i) holders of selected university qualifications, or ii) current or former holders of selected skilled migrant visas to stay in Singapore for up to one year to facilitate their job search in Singapore. Generally, if you have been granted an EPEC by MOM, you are likely to qualify for an Employment Pass upon securing employment in Singapore.

which basically means you can try to get a social visit pass (if you meet the requirements for EPEC), live in Singapore and adapt to the environment slowly, at the same time you can find job there in Singapore legally. This one of course, not just appy to Chinese citizens, any foreign talents from anywhere around the Globe can Apply!

You can try to evaluate yourself and see if you are eligible for EPEC via a personal test run using the EPSAT created by the Ministry of Manpower. Please don't disturb me on comments on how to help you find information on my blog. My voluntary service to the exhibition. If you need more information, just go visit Ministry of Manpower Singapore and Contact Singapore!
