Employment in Singapore

posted by ryan

There are a lot of different employments in Singapore for people from all walks of life to choose from.
Be it whether they want a change of working lifestyle or environment, there’s lot of choices to choose from, moreover Singapore is a very save country to live in without much worries.

Employments are separate into different sectors: Public and Private Sector.

Within the public sector, we have the White and Blue Collar.

White collar jobs are associated with sales, managerial occupations and clerical related. Those working in the office environment or at the front end of the counter are considered as white collar jobs. Examples of such are accounting, advertising and even customer service.
Blue collar jobs are associated with machinery, heavy labor based jobs in Singapore. Examples of such employments are in the industrial workers in the manufacturing and repair services. These also includes auto-mobile and electrical plus food industries.

Such blue collar job requires little to no education previously, but this is no longer true as Singapore progress over time from a 3rd world country to a developing nation from World War II to present day.

In today’s context whereby without education certifications, people with little to no education certifications can no longer survive in the public and private sector except for a few minor industries which are still being covered up by the media or at least it’s still not recognized as a professional occupation as of yet compared to our overseas counterparts whereby they can hold their heads high saying their own employment regardless of the industry they are in. Thanks to the receptivity of them and the government to open up their mind to anything.

Thanks to the constant competition, Singapore has undergone a lot of reshuffling and progress to be the sparking little red dot in the global map.

Even the white and blue collar jobs are further sub-categories into different segments, with that comes the common used term nowadays. PMETs means Professionals, Managers, Executives, Technicians which made up both White and Blue collar jobs.
