Hi there.
Patreek here.
I have worked in Singapore for about 4 years, 2011 -2015 in IT sector.
I went back home after my contract ended and worked locally here in our country up to the present, still in IT.
I just want to know, if companies in Singapore still has S-pass quota for IT foreigners?
Would also like to know if the job atmosphere for IT foreigners is now "favorable"?
I have been passing online job applications thru Jobstreet, Jobsdb, ST Jobs, Jobs Central, etc. , but I am not so lucky, I guess.
It was one time last year that a company replied to me and applied me for an S-Pass, but my pass got rejected.
The company re-appealed for my pass, but was not successful.
I also got email replies for shortlisting, but only that. Still no confirmation after that.
Also received numbers of overseas call from some Singapore headhunters, but still for shortlisting, after that they don't call anymore.
I visited MOM's Self Assessment Test (SAT) and it shows that I am qualified for an S-Pass, but still wondering why my tons of online applications still go unanswered.
I am planning to go back in Singapore anytime this 2018, and give it another try.
Do Singapore companies prefer foreign applicants who are in Singapore than those overseas? I'm wondering.
Thanks a lot for any tips you guys can provide me, so that my job application this time will be successful when I go back.
Thanks. And god bless.
