Singapore and Job Opportunities

Singapore is one of the best cities to live in. Located just a few
kilometers from the equator. It consists of one main island and
surrounded by several islets. The all year round, warm and humid
climate of Singapore is advantageous for the tourists visiting the
island. Despite the hot weather, the brief showers which is almost an
everyday phenomenon can be refreshing. Singapore is a modern
metropolis full of skyscrapers. Despite limited space, there is a huge
park at the center of the island.

Visiting Singapore. There are a lot of interesting places and amazing
architecture to visit.

The Merlion, which is a touristic symbol of Singapore.

Esplanade. The theaters on the bay or otherwise known as The Durians.

The Raffles Hotel, which is a reminder of the British colony.

The Sentosa Island. It is only reached by cable railway, giving you a
chance for an overview of the city. In this island, you can visit the
underwater world.

These are just few of the many places you need to see in the city. And
to not forget shopping as one of your itineraries.

If you are a food enthusiast, you would surely love Singapore. A lot
of mouth-watering dishes available at hawker stalls, food courts,
restaurants and hotels.

it's considered as their national dish. Consists of rice boiled in
herbs and chicken broth. Few pieces of chicken boiled in ginger,
garlic and pork bone stock. Fresh slices of cucumber, tomato and
lettuce leaves. A bowl of clear chicken broth with shallots, fried

Singapore is the home of one of the busiest container ports in the
world. Its economy has been at a steady improvement. Last year, the
manufacturing industry has slowed down and the export business has
weakened. It still remains as one of the largest financial hub in Asia
and regional center for oil and gas.

Singapore is a place where business and job seekers meet. The Free
Trade Agreements are taken advantage by companies from other countries
continuously setting up their offices in Singapore. Foreign workers
want to gain  work experience that will be beneficial for finding jobs
in other developed countries. And despite the increasing cost of
living, tax rate in the city is one of the world's lowest.
