Welcome to our little red dot!

Phew!<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to ponder is your employment. While most folks are moving due to work opportunities, some decide to migrate because they\u2019re looking for greener pastures. We know it\u2019s a doozy diving into this topic, so here\u2019s a cheat sheet on looking for jobs and working in Singapore as an expat.<\/p>\n<h2>Your handy guide on jobs and working in Singapore for foreigners<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Understand the employment requirements<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_297757\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-297757\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-297757 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-magnet-me-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Expat jobs in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-magnet-me-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-magnet-me-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-magnet-me-unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-297757\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Magnet.me via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We bet you\u2019re excited about working in Singapore, but hold your horses! You need to know a few things before starting your job search. First, check your employment eligibility using the Ministry of Manpower\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mom.gov.sg\/eservices\/services\/employment-s-pass-self-assessment-tool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Self-Assessment Tool<\/a>. It evaluates your educational background and professional experiences and lets you know if you can work in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is knowing which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mom.gov.sg\/passes-and-permits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">work visa<\/a> (aka employment permit) is most suitable for you. Most expats in executive and managerial positions will qualify for Singapore\u2019s employment pass, which requires them to earn a minimum salary of $5,000. Or, you can be eligible for the S-Pass, in which you must earn at least $3,150 monthly. Ensure the company you apply to is a registered and accredited employer by the Ministry of Manpower. After a successful job offer, work visas are automatically applied by the company or done by yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Research the job market<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_297758\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-297758\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-297758 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-shkrabaanthony-pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Expat jobs in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-shkrabaanthony-pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-shkrabaanthony-pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-shkrabaanthony-pexels.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-297758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Antoni Shkraba via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s advisable to learn more about Singapore\u2019s job market so that you know what to expect. Find out which job positions match your qualifications and skills; otherwise, you can consider applying for roles in industries that are in high demand. These include financial services, healthcare, and information technology. Applying for these sectors might increase your chances of securing employment. Attending virtual job fairs and industry-specific webinars can also be beneficial. We recommend researching salary ranges and living costs to align your expectations.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. It\u2019s good to keep updated on the latest developments in Singapore\u2019s labour market so you can be strategic with your job search.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Look for jobs through various platforms<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_297759\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-297759\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-297759 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-resume-genius-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Expat jobs in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-resume-genius-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-resume-genius-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-resume-genius-unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-297759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Resume Genius via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be physically present in Singapore to find a job. Plenty of websites and online platforms allow you to look for employment and submit your application. These include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">LinkedIn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobstreet.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Jobstreet<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/jobscentral.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Jobscentral<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sg.indeed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Indeed<\/a>. You can also register with and go through recruitment agencies, which will do the heavy lifting for you. Another option is to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/business-networking-platforms-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">network<\/a> with foreigners who work and live in Singapore. You\u2019ll learn more about the job market here and might even get referrals from these folks. Think of it as getting your foot in the door.<\/p>\n<p>When applying for jobs, check what you specifically need to submit. Some organisations require only your resume, while others want you to attach a cover letter to your curriculum vitae. Some companies may also ask you to fill out an application form. Customise your resume and cover letter for each application and update them accordingly to have a better chance of landing that job.<\/p>\n<p>Your initial interview may be via phone or video; some companies might require you to be physically present for assessment purposes. Check with the recruiter on your next steps.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Learn about Singapore\u2019s work etiquette and culture<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_297762\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-297762\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-297762 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-thirdman-pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Expat jobs in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-thirdman-pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-thirdman-pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-thirdman-pexels.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-297762\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Thirdman via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Singapore is home to many local and international organisations, and because of that, the work culture varies. Even if you\u2019re joining a multinational or foreign-owned business, it\u2019s good to learn more about the cultural norms guiding work in Singapore. The standard dress code depends on your industry, but it\u2019s typically business casual. This means button-down shirts and pants for males, and button-up shirts, skirts that fall below the knee, and pantsuits for females. Check with your HR regarding acceptable work attire.<\/p>\n<p>You can expect to work for nine hours per day or up to 44 hours per week. If you need to work overtime, your employer must pay compensation. Depending on the organisation, you\u2019re either required to work in the office or a hybrid work mode. Talk to your supervisor if you need flexible work arrangements. Also, expats working in Singapore must pay a tax of 15% of their income as they\u2019re not required to contribute to the Central Provident Fund (CPF).<\/p>\n<p>While English is the official language for business and education, you\u2019ll also hear other languages, such as Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil, being used in the workplace. If you\u2019re lucky, you might even hear <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/chinese-dialects-mother-tongue-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dialects<\/a> like Hokkien and Cantonese too. There\u2019s also <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/singlish-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Singlish<\/a>, a Creole language widely spoken among the locals. Most foreigners react with bemusement when they initially hear this. We recommend listening and learning more by asking your colleagues about the meaning of common phrases and how they\u2019re used.<\/p>\n<p>Psst: be sure to participate in cultural and team-building activities, which can also help you integrate better into the work environment.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Benefits and public holidays<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_297763\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-297763\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-297763 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-bruce-mars-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Expat jobs in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-bruce-mars-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-bruce-mars-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/singapore-foreigner-jobs-bruce-mars-unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-297763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: bruce mars via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Everyone working in Singapore is entitled to eleven <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/public-holidays-singapore-long-weekends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public holidays<\/a> per calendar year. If any of these days falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is a day off. Anyone required to work on a public holiday is entitled to an extra day\u2019s salary or an off in lieu, depending on the contract. Psst: did you know that compassionate and marriage leaves are not compulsory in Singapore? Yes, quelle surprise. Check with your HR department and discuss this with them if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore\u2019s employment act stipulates that anyone who\u2019s worked for a company for at least three months is entitled to paid sick leave; those who\u2019ve been with the company for six months or more get full entitlements to paid sick and hospitalisation leaves (14 and 60 days respectively). If you plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/raising-kids-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">start a family<\/a> in Singapore, check with your HR for maternity, paternity, and shared parental leave entitlements.<\/p>\n<p>There you go, folks.
