Why Converting a Graduation Internship into Job in Singapore is Difficult?

Singapore is the financial hub of South-East Asia as a large number of big financial houses call this place home. Also, Singapore is known for its strict rules and regulations. Education institutes in Singapore are considered one of the best in Asia and across the world as well.

Despite high reputation in the education industry and good connections with companies, foreign students have a really hard time converting their graduation internships into jobs in Singapore.

Fresh graduates think that they are high-value individuals as they are young, full of energy and fresh out of college and deserve higher pay than old workers. But the truth of the matter is that they are way easier to hire. The chances of getting hired in Singapore rises exponentially after you have gained sufficient experience by working at executive levels.

Here are a few reasons why converting an internship into a job is expensive in Singapore:

  1. LACK OF EXPERIENCE: Even the junior posts in Singapore require candidates to have around 2 years of experience. Fresher are offered those jobs that are a bit sketchy and don’t require a degree or diploma. All Singaporean students are aware of the importance of internships and they join internships every summer. This alone places native Singaporean students in a preferable position as most Indian students are not in the habit of taking up internships.

  2. SINGAPOREANS GET PREFERENCE: Companies are answerable to the government of Singapore about hiring of foreign nationals. Singapore government wants solid reasons for employing a foreigner. Also, a lot of paperwork is required. For this reason, many companies just don’t want to hire foreign nationals for full-time jobs.

  3. NO CONTACTS: No doubt, a good degree can land plenty of internship opportunities to international students. But converting them is difficult as they don’t have sufficient contacts in Singapore. Sure Singapore universities are good and renowned but not on the same level as Harvard or Oxford. As a matter of fact, after completing a degree from a Singaporean university, students can expect a high paying job in India but certainly not in Singapore.

  4. LOW PAY: There are students who somehow manage to land a good job relevant to their field but the problem is that they are low paying. The cost of living is on the higher side of the spectrum in Singapore and with these jobs, they really have to depend on their parents to pay their bills.

CONCLUSION

Singapore is a great place to study and stay for international students but if they are looking forward to settle permanently here, then it could be a bit of back and forth between the companies and government.

If somehow you get a good job in Singapore, you can contact Seek Consultants who are the Best Immigration Consultants in Delhi. They help students to comply with the rules and regulations of the government and help them settle in their job in a smooth manner.
