Just want to share my hiring experience. I work in tech and more specifically system admin of infrastructure. I think it’s my industry, no sinkie ever wanted such jobs. I probably get just one or 2 sinkie applicants out of say 30 or so. I always interview them. But the moment I say because it’s a 24x7 role, they are expected to work off hours and weekends. Their face will change color. One of them even asked : is it must wake up and answer call one? I was speechless. These are not fresh grads though. No fresh grads ever applied even I stated clearly they’re welcomed.
I do get many qualified applicants from other countries. Yes, some just list every available technology and products as their skillset in their CV, and I normally don’t bother. Those who really know their stuff don’t ask for a lot most of the time. They just want a job here in SG. Sinkie do have real competition here in this area.
