Navigating Career Shifts: Can I Return to Software Development in Singapore After Teaching?

Hi, I have over 3 years of experience in the software field (.NET) as a software developer from 2007 to 2011. However, for the past 2 years (2011-2013), I have been working as a Software Faculty/Instructor in the same technology (.NET). I am interested in applying for a software development job in Singapore. Am I eligible to apply for a software developer position? Please provide me with guidance in the right direction.

Thank you very much for your valuable assistance.

You can simply apply for the job in Singapore if your qualifications and experience fulfill the conditions set by the employer there.

This will increase your chances of getting noticed by potential employers in the region. Good luck with your job search!

There are two options for you.

Option 1: Immigration to Singapore

Singapore has opened up immigration. You may please go to the Singapore government website where you will find details. The skill sets in shortage are specified there. Check whether your skill set is in demand. If it is, then you may apply and go to Singapore to find a job.

Option 2: Employment Pass

The second alternative is to apply for an employment pass online. This will allow you to stay in Singapore legally and look for a job. Once you secure a job, your employment pass can be converted into a work permit.

All relevant information is available on the Singapore Government website.
