How To Apply For Jobs in Singapore for Filipinos 2015

This 2015, many are considering direct hiring jobs in Singapore because of its many advantages specially for Filipinos.  The higher pay and the fact that it is closer to home attract many aspirants to try their luck in Singapore. Few months ago, salary range increased to
SG $2,200 for S Pass while E Pass increased to SG $ 3,300. This amount of salary is way more competitive as compared to the current pay an ordinary worker is getting in the Philippines allowing them to provide more for their family

How to get a job in Singapore? Filipinos usually find employers by going personally in Singapore and by submitting their resume online to SG’s job banks and reputable online job portals like Jobstreet SG and The Strait Times as it seems to be the most read newspaper in the Singapore. You can also find employers while in the Philippines especially if someone like a friend, colleague or relative referred you for a possible job related to your education attainment, work experience and skills. Pass your CV and resume to companies and employers at these trusted websites:

    The Strait Times

    JobsDB.SG

    JobStreet.SG

Those sites are the most reliable and most trusted websites online where you can find direct hiring jobs in Singapore for Filipinos and find latest employers hiring. Some hardworking people also do both – job hunting in Singapore and applying online at the same time. Remember that Singapore still has priority with their citizens so it’s quite hard nowadays but never lose hope as a job will come for you if it’s really meant to be for you.

The most effective tips are: submit your resume or CV online to many job openings related to your work experiences, degree, and skills even if you’re in the Philippines. The more you submit to companies, the more interviews you’ll attend and the more chance of getting hired easily. Some companies and employers would interview you via Skype or Google Hangout or any video calling mean they are using.

Don’t be too choosy with employers and companies. Why not grab a job offer right away? Besides, finding jobs in SG is very hard nowadays. If you have worked right away in Singapore, it means you have easy access to more job opportunities. You can just level-up your career once you’re living and working there.

Prepare all your original documents and credentials such as diploma, Transcript of Records (TOR), certificates and valid IDs. Also prepare many photocopies of them. I recommend colored-photocopies. Make sure they are genuine and are all valid.

Applying for a Work Permit in Singapore

If you have been successfully hired by your employer in Singapore, the next step is applying for a work permit so you can legally work there as a foreign worker. This will be like your working visa in Singapore. The Ministry of Manpower in SG is strict in hiring foreign workers so if your permit was approved, you must do your best and work hard not only to prove you’re worth it but also to have more chance of having that job for longer time. You might not need to leave the Philippines as your employer will be the one to process your work permit for you. If you are under the workers who receive SGD 2,200, your work permit is called S Pass if you’re under the SGD 3,300 category, your work permit is called E Pass.

If your S Pass or E Pass has been approved, you’re ready to work in Singapore. I’m sure you’re so happy and smiling at this time. It’s recommended that you register yourself as an official OFW at the POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration) so you’ll have the benefits of being an OFW. You’ll attend PDOS (Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar) which will help you familiarize yourself about Singapore and living and working there. You also need an exit-clearance before you board your plane at the airport.
