[Slugnet] Some questions regarding recruitment/employment

[Waimun Yeow]

Hi All,

I'm currently working in the States, and one of my co-workers has
asked me about employment opportunities in Singapore. I'm not quite
up-to-date on recruitment/employment opportunities in Singapore and
thought I'd post it here for comments.  Thanks for helping.  -waimun

[1] In general, how do people find out about and get jobs in Singapore?

[2] For job opportunities in middle/senior management, do people find
jobs  through friends/family, headhunters, newspapers (Straits Times),
or job portals (Monster, JobsDB, etc.)?  What's the percentage
breakdown of all these channels, in order to prioritize efforts?

[3] Do professionals actively network through industry associations,
conferences, trade shows, etc. or no?

[4] For jobs in technology strategy/management (i.e., CIO, General
Manager of a regional development center, VP of online platform), what
would be the best way to find out about them, other than online
postings?  Are there targeted magazines, industry resources, etc. that
you would suggest for that kind of information?  Or are there none?

[5] Do you have any recommendations for finding a job in Singapore?
