Business Contacts:
expat advice on how to organize your job search in Singapore
Introduction
As networking is the other vital option to find a job in Singapore, we have listed a number of business contacts below. We specially recommend the last section on Volunteering - often highly underestimated yet hugely rewarding in many ways.
Business Clubs/Professional Groups
There is a large number of professional groups to join for networking in Singapore. We recommend to join associations with a mixed membership rather than one which is concentrating on expatriate. You should not under- estimate the importance of local business men and women assisting you in meeting the right mix of people for your trade.
The links established often stretch far beyond Singapore and the region and your Singapore contacts might come in handy for any future job in another country.
Visit also the section Expat Views and the sections on expatriate clubs as they provide excellent opportunities to meet interesting people.
