HOW TO FIND A JOB IN SINGAPORE
It is a great investment to get tips on how to find a job, especially senior job, in Singapore from a professional who has vast skills in the recruitment process in the country. Getting a decent job in Singapore can be a challenging task especially for foreigners with inadequate information about job searches. Here are tips that should help you get prepared and informed about jobs in Singapore before heading out:
1.    Attend career fairs. The first tip on how to find a job in Singapore is to attend a variety of career fairs organized around the country. You get enormous benefits from visiting career fairs since you are able to find many companies offering a job in Singapore which negates the need for making many applications to different companies.
2.    Consular sections for employment and bi-national chambers of commerce:
In order to find employment in a foreign company, contact the chamber of commerce of your home country (and others!) established in Singapore. You will find there directories of foreign companies, joblistings, and useful tips and advice about the labor market in Singapore. Embassies and consulates often provide consular sections for employment. Do not hesitate to contact them!
American chamber of commerce in Singapore: http://www.amcham.org.sg/
British chamber of commerce in Singapore: http://www.britcham.org.sg/
French Chamber of Commerce in Singapore: http://www.fccsingapore.com/

3.    Visit online employment sites. Visit various web sites which post information about various jobs in Singapore with the necessary requirements for these jobs (if you only want the senior job, you could visit http://www.springstaffing.asia which specializes in high level  jobs in Singapore). You can also visit the web sites if you have specific companies in mind which you would like to get a job in Singapore with and get information about any vacant positions that may be available which best suits you.
4.    Register with various employment forums. This tip on how to find a job in Singapore requires you to visit various web sites, such as www.singaporejobsonline.com, and blogs where you get to interact with other job seekers and providers. This gives you a chance to post your resume and which a prospective employer may see and offer you a job in Singapore.
5.    Network with friends and colleagues. In order to land on a job in Singapore, you also need to network with people who will provide you with information regarding different jobs that are available. You should get references from your relatives and friends on a job in Singapore including the salary and the type of job offered.
6.    Visit recruitment offices in Singapore. It is very important to visit various recruitment offices in the country where you will get information about the various jobs available and also get a chance of posting your credentials. The recruitment offices have vast information about the different companies offering jobs in the country. Some of the recruitment offices expect you to pay a certain fee when you get a job in Singapore while others are paid by the company offering the job.

IT poeple with experience still have good chances to find a job in Singapore. But you need a university degree to have a chance for a work visa.
Check online job boards like monster.com.sg or jobsdb.com.sg. Singapore recruitment agents are basically useless, so don't waste much time on them!

am a high school graduate and a looking for a job in singapore. am not experience in anything but any job with good salary will be okay for me...

please sir, i will like to geta job in singapore. i just graduated from senior high school..

Your best chance for getting a job (any job) in Singapore is working in your country for a few years first and getting some valuable experience and skills. Then apply for jobs in Singapore.
The better paid jobs, however, will always be reserved for university graduates. With just a high school certificate, you will not earn much (by Singapore standard - below S$2000/month might sound a lot where you come from, but is actually hardly enough to survive here).
Sorry to say, but with no degree and no experience, you have basically no chance to find a job and/or get a work visa.

the oldest conventional method which still works today especially when firms hire direct, is to network. Don't feel shy to ask people you vaguely know if they have any job recommendations. You will surprised that many are actually very helpful. Good luck in your job search.

JobsDB.com is pretty good.

My advise is:
- learn to read properly
- choose an efficient course of action towards your goal
- make a professional impression
By posting on a forum about job search in Singapore, you have shown deficiencies in these three aspects.

Know where the jobs are
If you have no idea where to begin your job search, you might like to turn to the Internet. Online job portals such as JobsCentral.com have become main sources of such information. Besides scrutinising their job postings, make full use of the services and resources available within these portals. You can register for an account, create an online résumé, and use it to apply for suitable jobs whenever you come across them. The job alert services provided are useful for notifying you of the latest vacancies. The Singapore government also has a portal (https://app.vog.gov.sg) that serves as a database for public sector job listings.

The Straits Times, the main English language newspaper in Singapore, publishes a "Classified Jobs" and "Executive Appointments" supplement every Saturday that lists a wide range of job opportunities. The online equivalent of these job listings can be found in the ST701 portal.

However, not every company will advertise their job vacancies. Some companies engage recruitment agencies to help them find candidates. Thus, cast your net wide and register with a few recruitment firms to increase your chances of finding a suitable job. The more established agencies include GMP, Cypress One Recruitment, Adecco, Kelly Services and RecruitExpress, just to name a few.

If you are looking for managerial or specialist positions, then you might want to speak with a headhunter. Some headhunting firms you can approach are Hudson, Michael Page, Robert Walters and Kerry Consulting.

You might also want to attend job fairs for networking opportunities. Find out who are the participating companies, zoom in on those that interest you and research on them. Prepare a one-minute "pitch" about yourself, covering aspects such as who you are, why you are interested in the company and how your background is relevant to the company or position. Also, prepare some questions for the company representatives.

If you'd like to have a feel of the employment landscape in Singapore when it comes to entry-level jobs, you can also refer to Career Central, Singapore's only campus career magazine. The magazine targets graduates with tertiary education qualifications and features various industries to allow fresh graduates and young working professionals to gain more insights into working life.

To visit Singapore as a Ghana citizen, you need only your passport and a flight ticket (which you can get from major airlines or travel agents). You will be given a 30 days SVP on arrival (free of charge).
