Hi guys,
I am relatively new in SG and have been looking for a job for 3 months now. I've sent out around 40 applications but except for 2 rejections nothing came back. Am I doing sth wrong?
How do you apply for jobs here? Unfortunately on all the job boards you only find a button to apply, and only rarely a concrete contact person you can e-mail. I have the impression my applications all wander into a huge black hole.
TIA, everyone!

Lots of foreigners are trying their luck here. If you do not have special skills in a relevant and progressive industry, you must be willing to go down in salary or try those lower end jobs only. You are fighting against many from the surrounding regions like Indians, Philipinos, Chinese etc.

Well first of all I find it rude of the remaining 38 companies who did not even have the decency to send a reaction/rejection. Unless an application is really rubbish I always react.
But it it right that many foreigners come to Singapore, perhaps you should apply more aimed directly to companies or to apply in line with your education/experience/skills. IT really depends on what these are, if you have a financial or IT background there might be chances, if you studied history or psychology it might be more difficult.
