Arriving at the Changi airport in 2005 June, little did I believe that I would be putting my life into a 14 year haitus from homeland into a new thriving metro-city state Singapore.
Yes things are swanky, squeeky clean, and very advanced in Singapore, and for the people of malleable minds, the ideal place to call their new home, where they will seek to earn, save and retire- (Naah, not retire here).
I am putting my thoughts as a Mechanical Design professional who came here and sought jobs without the help of contract agents in India, (which I firmly say is the wrong way) as just another jobseeker and not an Expat.
There are a few ways people landed with jobs in Sg during that time:
1) come here for education, do a Post Graduation, and then land a job
2) come as a foreign talent thru an Employment Agency from India- more like a sought after professional
3) come as an EXPAT- a breed of wealthy ; get-all; give a little; very lucky few
4) come on a social visit and hunt jobs during that stay
The difference in is humongous.
