New in Singapore

Post new topic

Hi all,

I just moved to Singapore about a week ago with my boyfriend who is now working here.
I am now looking for work and new friends however I am finding this to be very difficult. Have anyone been in the same situation?? Apart from that I find Singapore to be great fun and I am really excited to be here. :)

Looking forward hearing from you guys!! Thanks!!!

Hello alexandrakry!

I hope that other members will share their experience with you soon.

For the work, maybe you could tell us about your job experience/ field, it may be helpful to you.

Harmonie.:)

Hi Harmonie,

Thanks for your reply.

l I just graduated in London and now looking for work, anything within HR, Admin/Assistant work, really anything. But it's proving to be very difficult for foreigners to find work and especially if you're a graduate with not much work experience? Or is it just me finding it difficult? Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Alexandra

Hello, I am moving to singapore on the 10th of august because of my boyfriend is working there. How is your experience? Did you find a job?

alexandrakry

Yes its really hard but it takes time to find something good :)

Are u guys up for meeting up for a drink one night? Don't know many people out here than my bf and his friends and would love to meet some new people :) ?

debanjan13

I'm doing nothing this weekend. And nobody is really willing to hang. So if anybody is interested lemme know.

florence...it actually depends what kind of job you are looking for, I'm an engineer so it hasn't been that hard.

Hi, I'm from Indonesia but living and working in Singapore.

I believe , after you have some friends and networking in Singapore, will make easier to get a job opportunity information. :)

Have a nice meetup!
