Finding a job in Singapore is not an easy thing to do. Gear up yourself with hardwork and perseverance plus the divine intervention and you will be fine.
I started applying online for the jobs that fit my qualifications when I was still in the Philippines and that was two (2) months ago before my departure. I did it religiously. Until my most awaited day came, August 14, 2010, my departure date to Singapore but sad to say, nobody contacted me for an interview.
Looking for a job in Singapore is more of online application, and it is seldom to do walk in application since they will require you also to apply online. What I did, I continued applying online; I also asked my friends about job openings; I even tried to go to employment agencies and paid some registration fees for them to look for a job for me; I went to some companies and directly submitted my resume; and I also looked for some job openings from the newspaper called The Straits Times.
One of my friends suggested me, when applying online it should be in the morning and you should watch out also for the new job postings so that your resume will be the first one in the list of employers. You can try the following websites in applying for a job in Singapore, I believe there are more but you can try these first:
The Straits Times is also one of the best sources. You can buy the Wednesday and Saturday issue because there are a lot of jobs postings in the Classified ads. You can try cold calling to companies in the newspaper and ask them first if they are hiring foreigners so that you can filter which company to apply.
Applying for a job in Singapore through an employment agency is also possible. They will look for job for you based in their listings; and they will help you in processing of your working permit. The only thing is you have to pay them, some also offered installment payment. There are a lot of things you need to discover. Just BE CAREFUL.
