Singapore job outlook for foreigners.

Hello,

I am looking for entry level job opportunities to establish a career in finance.

I have a sort of peculiar situation. I am a bachelors degree holder and an MBA graduate from an Australian University, currently CFA level 2 candidate.

I have 6-7 years of real estate investments experience in Dubai. When the market went bust i decided to study for MBA and took CFA course. However, it seems its not very easy to set foot in the financial industry so I am looking up for jobs in Singapore.

I need advise how the employers treat such a resume. How to land up the first job in finance? does someone with work experience in unrelated field stand any chance of getting mid level opportunities in financial industry.

I have read several forums about employment opportunities in singapore and decided to visit there to look for jobs but the visa requirements seems very stringent for non experience. However, if i found a job will MOM consider my previous 6-7 years of experience back in Dubai.

Please pour in your thoughts it will mean great help.

Thanks
