For many people in Asia, they feel at home when they are in Singapore. And when they need to visit their parents, relatives and friends from where they came from, it is just a couple of hours away by air.

Other factors cited by them include the discipline and orderliness of this tiny city state. So they feel more secure, knowing that this country is not allowed to become chaotic or messy.

They are judged and rewarded based on merit more than on favouritism.

Many of them also see Singapore as an excellent place for them to bring up their children as well as a place where a high standard of education is assured.

On top of that, there are ample places for fun and relaxation as well as entertainment. In fact many of the facilities and attractions in Singapore are world class. The more recent additions being the two Integrated Resorts namely Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands Singapore

And talking about these two Integrated Resorts, they are also major providers of jobs in Singapore.

For example Marina Bay Sands Singapore is still inviting people to be part of its team. Recently I saw a flyer mentioning that a remarkable array of career opportunities with superior benefits is yours to enjoy.

Some of the jobs mentioned were F&B Captains, F&B Service Attendants, Chefs de Partie, Food Runners, Commis Cooks, Bartenders, Junior Sous Chef, Steward Attendants, Sommeliers and F&B Cashiers.

Why RSS? Benefits and Reasons for using RSS

What do I need to do to read an RSS Feed? RSS Feed Readers and News Aggregators

A variety of RSS Readers are available for different platforms. Some popular feed readers include Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac), FeedReader (Windows), and NewsGator (Windows – integrates with Outlook). There are also a number of web-based feed readers available. My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader are popular web-based feed readers.

Once you have your Feed Reader, it is a matter of finding sites that syndicate content and adding their RSS feed to the list of feeds your Feed Reader checks. Many sites display a small icon with the acronyms RSS, XML, or RDF to let you know a feed is available.

At the May Day rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that more than 100,000 new jobs will be created this year, if the economy grows by 7 to 9 per cent as forecast. Last year the number of jobs created was 37,600.

Some of the jobs will have to be filled by foreigners on work and employment passes. However, in the longer term Singapore will cut back its reliance on foreign manpower. It will have to put more emphasis on productivity and go for qualitative growth.

For those of you looking for a job, I have some tips for you to become more employable. A prerequisite is a degree, diploma or professional certification. Next you have to improve on your resume. Finally you have to perform at interviews.

Brush up on your skills and qualities needed for the job that you are looking for. Of course they cannot be learned in a short time, so start immediately to plan and work out a strategy for the job you are looking out for.

Now let’s talk about your resume. In it, you must sell yourself. Then at the first interview, you must aim to secure a second interview.

Something for you to note is that almost half of the job openings may not be related to the discipline you may have studied. The increased opportunity is double-edged, because it also means there is more competition.

Employers like to look at your personality, experience, knowledge, and track record to see if you fit into the job and the company culture. This means you need to research the job and company when applying for the job. And show that you have people skills, task-management skills, positive attitude, and a good sense of awareness when you attend the interview.

The above is so important to the employers because they want you to be able to work and contribute to the company in as short a time as possible with the least training and thus the least disruption to colleagues.

Wishing you a successful career if you work in Singapore.
