hootie

be very careful with contracts in Singapore, there is no law to protect foreign workers. A signed contract means nothing.

Singaporeans speak some of the best English in Asia. It is unlike Indonesia or China.
To be fair Harry, there is great respect for the rule of law in Singapore. The contracts cleverly provide that your employer can terminate your employment with one month's notice.
They are facing one of their worst recessions. There will be slim pickings. You may have to set your sights somewhere else.

if you like animals, just try the zoo (Wildlife Reserves) who run 3 parks, (Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and Jurong Bird Park) and they may be able to give you an appointment.

Yes. Agree with you 100%. But I have just spent a few days talking with MoM and MoE, and sorry, foreigners don't have right of claim.

I'm just advising caution.

I'll go and work in Singapore in a minute. Mrs Mudd is, after all, a Singaporean.

This is a joke post isn't it?

Everyone in Singapore who needs English already speaks it and if they're Singaporean they speak it rather well... If they need English and they don't already speak it then they won't be able to afford you.

Maybe you could teach English to those parrots in Jurong Bird Park lah...

And talking about Jurong, I'm reliably informed that there are at least 10 languages in regular use in the shipyards there... why speak English?

Try South Korea or Japan.

or Indonesia. Lots of English teaching positions available. No problem if you are CELTAed.

Thanks for those with the helpful advice. Most people in Singapore do already speak English but there are alot of migrants who need to learn English and they do have private English schools there. I was just wondering what my chances were of getting a job there etc fully certified but only having 6 months experience. So Norrie19, no it wasn't a joke post, expats do teach English in Singapore but perhaps they have more years experience than me. But your wit for a joke about teaching the birds at Jurong amused me anyway if not wasted some of my time.
