Hi all,
I'm a U.S. citizen located in Washington D.C. currently trying to find employment opportunities in Singapore. I would be extremely grateful for any recommendations on how to look for job ads, recommended web sites, information on current job market etc. I graduated from a top university and have about 6 years of work experience in Business Strategy consulting. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks!!

The political (and economic) climate is currently stacked against giving jobs to foreigners, so even if you find a willing employer, your visa (employment pass) is far from guaranteed.
This might change after the elections (date not announced yet), so I recommend waiting a few more months.
Also, if you search directly in Singapore you will most likely get local conditions and pay, which is less than you get back home. Cushy "Expat"-type contracts are getting rare and can only be had by applying to the foreign headquarter of the sending company.
Good luck,
Frank
