100K More Job Opportunities in Singapore

Hey don't just take my word for it. I've heard a lot of horror stories of Filipinos looking for a job in Singapore but didn't get any and that Singaporeans are discriminating against Filipinos. But apparently according to AFP, the demand is quite high.

Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that Singapore will need 100,000 new foreign workers this year to keep on track an economy enjoying a stunning rebound.

The article goes on to say that rich but worker-starved Singapore has historically rolled out the welcome mat for foreigners, whose numbers rose dramatically in the boom of 2004-2007.

But with one in three of the five million people living on the tiny island now a foreigner and citizens complaining about competition for jobs, housing and medical care, the government has been looking anew at its open-door policy.

Nonetheless Lee said the need for more overseas labour was unavoidable despite efforts to slow the influx after complaints from citizens facing tougher jobs competition during last year's recession.

"If we don't allow the foreign workers in, you are going to have overheating," the Straits Times quoted him as telling Singaporean media during an ongoing visit to the United States.

Lee assured Singaporeans the government would manage the inflow of foreign workers with measures such as higher levies on companies hiring from abroad.

But even so, "I'd imagine there will be more than 100,000 extra foreign workers this year," he said.

"I cannot see it otherwise, but we have to accept that."

Experts interviewed by the Straits Times newspaper said this year's expected inflow was still lower compared to previous years.

In 2007, there were 144,500 new foreign workers and 157,000 were hired in 2008, they said.

Investment bank Morgan Stanley said Thursday it expected Singapore's economy to grow by 16 percent this year, ramping up its previous projection of 9.0 percent.

Lee said Singaporeans should not expect such stellar growth every year and cautioned against comparisons with other economies.

"Maybe numerically, the growth figure may be higher than other countries, but I would hesitate to compare myself with China," he was quoted as saying.

"I think if you compare yourself with Shanghai, they may well be ahead of us."

Up To 7,100 More OFW Jobs Available in South Korea

Labor Secretary Marianito Roque reported in a news release that the overseas Filipino (OFW) quota for jobs required in South Korea is now 7,100 versus last year's 5,700 - according to an article in the Inquirer.

The article goes on to say that a total of 6,445 Filipinos took the Korean Language Test (KLT) in various testing centers nationwide, a requirement by South Korean government for hiring. He said the examinations conducted in Manila, Pampanga, Baguio, Cebu, and Davao by the Korean Human Resources Department went smoothly, with no reported negative or unfavorable incident.

Roque said 3,344 examinees took the KLT in Manila, 2,076 took it in Pampanga, 554 in Baguio City, 310 in Cebu, and 161 in Davao.

The labor chief said hiring resumed only recently after South Korea strictly enforced the requirement that prospective OFWs take and pass the country’s language proficiency test.

He reiterated that many Korean employers still prefer Filipino workers, adding that a second KLT will be given around the fourth quarter of the year.

He said that under the Employment Permit System (EPS) of Korea, foreign workers earn an average of $1,000 a month.

In a related development, Roque said preparations are on for the signing of an implementing arrangement for the implementation of Korea’s Returnee Support Program for OFWs.

Roque said this program is patterned after the National Reintegration Program of the Philippines in which returning OFWs are given a chance to smoothly join the mainstream of society with assistance to training and livelihood programs.

He said Korea’s Returnee Support Program has two components; technical training onsite, usually on Sundays, for business or employment, and job referral to RP-based Korean companies (for returning workers).

Roque said that last year, as an enhancement of its assistance program for foreign workers, the HRD established caring centers nationwide to provide temporary shelter, food, and counseling to workers who have been let go and are looking for new jobs.

To address the language issue, Roque said Korea’s HRD likewise launched last year the three-way phone conference where the worker can talk to his employer through an interpreter.

The Abu Dhabi Job Fair

An article from UAE's The National posted that of a recent job fair in early February where drones of people arrived from all over the world

Some people are looking for better opportunities while some are just picking up from there whey were laid off. I don't think it's much better out there than it is in the Philippines. So think clearly people before you pack those bags.

The Tawdheef recruitment fair, which runs until Thursday, began at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, ostensibly to showcase the opportunities available to young Emiratis.

However, workers from the Philippines and India also turned out in droves to interview with local human resources firms and to find more stable employment as the fear of layoffs continued to mount.

“We would like to find a job with accounts. Our present employer is a small travel agency,” said Rosella Franco, 28, who was filling out an application at the fair alongside her husband. Both are from the Philippines.

She said they were looking for a job within the government sector because they are concerned about their prospects in the smaller firm.

“We started to worry because of the recession,” she said. “I feel that if I can find a government job, that will provide a good future for my family.”

Ian Giulianotti, the director of Nadia recruitment, said the job market has changed dramatically over the past 18 months.

“Before, if you had an open house, the people looking for a job would be unemployed,” he said.

“It’s a matter of supply and demand. If you came to me 18 months ago and said, ‘I need a secretary,’ you would get three CVs and you would have to make a decision within three days. Then you would have to offer 50 per cent more pay,” Mr Giulianotti said. “Now if you ask me for a secretary, you’ll get between five and 10 CVs and you could make an offer that was non-negotiable.”

The instability of the market has also led to non-payment and job insecurity, he said.

“People are sitting around, noticing companies not doing well and they ask, ‘should I jump before I’m pushed?’”
