I recently moved to Singapore and upon arrival I started looking for a job. Now being at home, looking for a job with only recruiters, netflix, amazon box sets for company isn’t the most fun you can have. Therefore I decided I was going to see what was out there to amuse myself and maybe learn a few things. Singapore being the amazing place it is, has delievered this in spades! However, if you know of anyone looking for a role or is out of work then maybe use this as an inspiration to get out there and see what is about in the area?

Looking for a job sucks when you are stuck at home but if you just do a little digging you can find loads of things to do in your area to meet different people and get out and about instead of feeling isolated at home without a job.
