Why a Career in Singapore?

You might be wondering what makes Singapore such a great option. There are several reasons that changing your career to be based out of Singapore or working for a Singaporean company can be a major advantage in today’s world.

Growing Economy

There is a common saying in business: a rising tide floats all boats. That is certainly true of Singapore, where the growing economy is providing better career opportunities for most industries.

Key Sectors are Hiring and Evolving

Singapore is a known banking hub, and it also has great opportunities in FinTech, biotechnology, transportation, hospitality and the startup world. If you possess technology, marketing, medical, or hospitality experience or ambitions, then Singapore can be a uniquely great fit.

Safety

This is one of the safest nations on earth. Crime is rare and the streets are clean thanks to efficient government and policing. If you have a family or are planning one in the future, then Singapore is a great place to be based out of.

Public Transport

Some major cities have major problems with transportation. It takes forever to get public trains, trams, or subways. Parking can be a mess, and cabs can be very costly at the end of the day. Thankfully, Singapore has a well-built transportation system that makes it affordable, fast, and easy to navigate virtually anywhere in the city quickly.

Central Travel Hub

Planning a getaway is easy and cheap from Singapore. With great beaches in nearby Thailand and Vietnam, world-class casinos in Macau, or fresh sushi in Japan, you can choose from a variety of short flights to various other Asian nations, even if you and your family are on a budget.

Skills

When making a career pivot the first thing you should look at is your skillset. Certain skills are more in demand than others, but regardless you need to take stock of what you have so you can use your time better when searching for your new opportunity. Here are the steps to take with your skills:

  • Assess – Get a clear idea of where you are, this is the first step. Without knowing what key skills you have and weaknesses you have, you might waste time looking for the wrong jobs.
  • Research – Once you have a good stock of what your skills are, do research on opportunities in your field of skills. See what companies are hiring and what you need to improve upon.
  • Improve – The best improvement you can make is always in yourself. Don’t be afraid to invest in courses, classes, and meetups that let you learn and develop your knowledge so you can qualify for the position of your dreams.

Network

No one can succeed in a vacuum. If you want to find your dream job, reaching out to people in the community around you is a great way to get your feet wet.

For networking in Singapore, consider going out to social events like dinners and charity events where people in your field would congregate. In addition, be more social when going out with friends more often or for the occasional lunch. You never know when they might introduce you to the person who could know about a great position.

Connect with The Right Sites

Making a career change is difficult enough. Don’t make it harder for yourself by failing to utilise the tools available to you. One great resource is FutureWork.sg which is our job marketplace website that connects you to employers in your field. Take a look around. There are a lot of benefits of using this site:

  • Speed of Finding Opportunities

The longer you wait, the more likely you will miss out on the rewarding opportunities for a new career in Singapore. Using FutureWork.sg lets you find your opportunities before they run out.

  • Convenience

Instead of going across town, you can simply hop on your phone, tablet, or computer to access your job leads.

  • Number of Career Opportunities

With so many opportunities to choose from, you have a higher chance of finding the career path that uniquely suits your goals now and into the future.

Rehearse

Going into an interview can be daunting. Figuring out what to say, what to wear, and even what kind of benefits to negotiate are all questions that might be in your mind. However, if you play your cards right you can walk into the room prepared to make the best career change of your life.

Before attending your hiring interview, make sure to practice answers to common questions. This will let you position yourself in the best light. In addition, don’t be hesitant to ask questions of your own. It shows that you are truly interested in the position, and it allows you to weed out potential career shifts that don’t fit your needs.

Start Off On The Right Foot

When you start your new job, you aren’t in the clear just yet. You need to make a great first impression once you have been hired or allowed to begin training.

When you first begin your new career, always show up at least 15 minutes early and work later than your scheduled hours. You won’t need to do this for the rest of your career. Instead, doing it at the front can make a strong first impression that lasts for much longer. This way, you can enjoy quicker promotions and more attention from management when it really counts going forward.

The job marketplace can be competitive. However, thanks to Singapore’s strong and growing economy in key industries, you can easily pivot your career and get a dream job here. It just takes hard work, persistence, and the right tools. If you ignore common pitfalls and don’t leverage the tips above, you could take longer to find your ideal job than you want. So be sure to submit your CV, and subscribe for future updates, job tips and notifications and start your journey to get your successful career in Singapore.
