(Jobs listings will be updated by latest 28 Oct 2019)

See you at the event!

As we heard the news, our big Merlion, located in Sentosa, is leaving. Meaning to say Mr Merlion has been terminated, retrenched or he just simply quit. It’s sad to see our big employee leave but it may be for the best.

The Merlion stood tall since 1995 and has served many people as a tourism point. Some may even consider him to be the eighth wonders of the world.

It is usually sad to see our friend leave the grounds. Everyone cherished good times together. Always being the centre of attention.

Although, its best to see it in a different light. Better things and opportunity will come. Expecting greater things to happen in the future.

The Sentosa Merlion will continue to stay in our hearts.

Similarly, to our friends and colleagues who left the company, it's difficult to say goodbyes as they have contributed much in the company and left to remember their legacy.

We should remember the good and instead, end it with a good note and be happy that another company is lucky to have someone like them in the company.

What do we mean by a high-performance employee? How does one look like? What makes you think they are better than the rest?

There's various definition out there when you google an employee that is performing to your expectations but we lay down to the most conclusive detail for what most employers including us lookout for when it comes to looking out for our staff that deserves a spot as the employee of the month!


1 - Everything is under control even when in difficult situations

You do not need to remind them that the dateline is near, they know that it's near, they will finish what they do and meet most of the criteria. Asking on their progress seems too not needed as they are autonomous, and you can trust them to put their thoughts in the game.

Sometimes, we are in a pinch if a client gives us an impossible dateline to finish a job. Our 'friend' will always find the best way to streamline the workflow to come to a closure of the project. Without any compromises.

2 - Thirst to learn and to question and upgrade themselves to improve their knowledge

Sometimes, during life everyone hits a wall, they will do what is necessary to overcome the wall by looking for answers with those who are more knowledgeable, they will bring questions to the table to discuss with the co-workers to overcome obstacles. Under no circumstances, they will stop looking for new knowledge to apply in their work.

To move forward, our thinking should always be forward-thinking, questioning ourselves how and why. Why did it work? Why didn't it work? How to get to the conclusion? How to avoid such missteps.

3 - Not a leader but still leading together

They are willing to slow down to help their co-workers to catch up to their speed. We may go too fast in terms of work, an employee who pauses just to see and teach their co-workers to match up to his speed and lead together to push the boundary in the organisation. They show compassion and will leave no man behind.

4 - They take initiative and takes on leadership opportunities

When there’s a problem arises in the company, they would be the first to step in without creating any politics, rather, avoiding it and taking in a leadership role to lead the team. They will jump into any possible opportunities to leap the companies forward, improving the system.

5 - They take feedbacks positively

We may not like the feedback given even if it's negative. For Singaporeans, this will break their ego and for a high potential employee, they are willing to take a hit and learn from mistakes to improve on the productivity and adapt to open a new window to opportunities.

6 - They recognise their weakness and do a workaround to compensate it

The smartest people always have a way to overcome their weakness, such weakness like mine is that I would miss out small details and overlook spelling errors. I would have people to help me check the details of the artwork, so at least it's confirmed with 2 eyes watching. It's always a game of helping each other in return for a good reward.

Ever wondered how recruiters do well in finding the right candidates in various platforms?

In Singapore, it's tough selecting the proper candidate for your workforce, they may be good in one thing but bad for another. No matter how or where we find candidates to be part of our staff, things seem so unnatural, indifferent, because you may be looking in the wrong direction.

We would be honoured to share you the basic fundamentals of selecting the right candidate. We call this the Golden Triangle of Getting the Right Candidate!

A 3-step candidate recruiting process that its simple to follow.

Step 1 -  Recruitment

Whenever manpower search is required, the Recruiter or Human Resource manager can use social media platforms or arrange the Career Job Fair events to advertise more jobs for the job seekers. We can see face-to-face interviews with the applicants after they fill in the application forms. The candidate feedback process can help the interviewers’ reputation as a social positive organization that values recruitment and selections culture and diversity for the best engagement rate.

Step 2 -  Selection

In the volume of recruitment, the PMET, Executives, Managers and Team Leaders are applying for one job position or multiple job appointments. After the interviews, the employers will decide to select the most prospective candidate to hold the right job title within one or two weeks.

Step 3 - Orientation

Orientation provides new employees with some informations about work routine – working hours, break, leave, facilities, transport, during normal or extra hours. It also conveys informations about the organization, its mission, values, objectives, services, departments in a comfortable, effective and cultural work environment. It can remove anxiety from a mind of new employee.

Employers and HR decision makers should take note of these key amendments:

1. -  Core Provisions extended to all employees
2. -  Additional protections (hours of work, overtime pay and rest days) extended to more employees 
3. -  Enhanced flexibility for employers
4. -  Employment dispute resolution framework enhanced
5. -  Recognise medical certificates (MCs) from all doctors for paid sick leave

Before the amendment, The Employment Act does not cover Core Provisions to Managers and Executives (M&Es) earning above$4,500/ month.

In addition, the Act only provides a set of additional protections such as on hours of work, rest day and overtime pay. Part IV of the Employment Act (EA) covers workmen earning up to S$4,500, and non-workmen earning up to S$2,500. They are collectively known as Part IV employees.

Currently, wrongful dismissal claims are heard by MOM, whereas salary-related claims are heard by the TADM (Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management/ Employment Claims Tribunals). M&E can seek help if they have served the employer for at least a year. 

In terms of recognising the medical certificates today, employers are required under the Employment Act to accord paid sick leave only if the medical certificate (MC) is issued by Government and company-appointed doctors.

How far have we come to this day?

9 August 1965, Singapore achieved her independence. Even when years passed, some jobs stay while other jobs were gone throughout history.

How far have we evolved from a fishing village to a multi-racial, multi-national independent island state?

Let's take a look:


When it was 50 years ago, how did our Singaporeans look for jobs?

Many years ago, most job seekers applied blindly. Through word of mouth, advertisements such as newspaper advertisements, radio or TV. 

Now, you would approach your search by applying and sending in resumes to job postings on Facebook, emailing, and various online job portals.

What will the future be when you look for jobs? Would you be staying at home doing your jobs as you are self-employed/freelance OR would you actually go to other countries just by flying by your own large drone?



What kind of career was available 50 years ago?


Back then, jobs available such as farmers, rat catchers, knife sharpeners, mail sorters, cattle ranchers, switchboard operators, analogue drafters, I can go on. Most of these jobs become scarce, some of them evolved and a lot of them has been taken over by technology.

Right now, there's social media recruiters, blockchain specialists, IT Software engineers, and most of the jobs that evolve one to overcome tech disruption and embrace it.

What about the future? How will it look like?
I've made an article on what jobs look like 100 years into the future, take a look. 

How do people travel to their workplace back then?

Simply put, you remember those old videos you saw on the TV. It's basically the same but now there's no sampan, no trishaws, walking on foot for kilometres. All transport is readily available for our local commuters. You can't really imagine how those people have a really hard time dealing with heat in the bus. Remember, back then got no air-con hor...

Now, everyone wishes to be transported by driverless cars and flying drones to work. Best yet, teleport there so you can go to work on time without your boss screaming at your face for your punctuality! 

I think that's least of the common questions kids ask how was the past like for our locals.

So once again, we wish our nation happy birthday!

Article by Syafaat

Before I would even start to list down the future jobs. Let’s take a step back and see what jobs have been taken away. Make a guess. Plus, I don’t even know that these jobs even existed!

• Ice cutters
• Lamplighters
• Switchboard Operators
• Rat catchers
• Human Alarm Clock

Ice Cutters Circa 1800s

Ice Cutters, they cut ice from cold places and to export them to neighbouring countries. Back then, fridges weren’t even invented yet. People used to light oil lamps as their profession, the lamplighters. Human Alarm Clock, heh, those people back then either wake up early in the morning or not sleep at all. Just to wake up another lazy bum in the morning.

In the era of where everyone starts to have a phone at home, with all the phone wires dangling on the streets, there were switchboard operators (I heard monkeys replaced them at first).

Rat Catchers

I’m not too sure about rat catchers though I mean the pest busters still exist. Because it evolves into another profession.

Looking back, it’s just a few decades back. Now, if we could imagine the possibility of jobs getting replaced or evolving into another job. What are the possible jobs that could be replaced?

Now, we are in the era of where human starts to play around with Artificial Intelligence or A.I. for short. Many tech companies are making way to driverless cars, automated systems and we also have robots which are expected to replace news anchors. Well, most of you might have known about that first robot which was granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia.

Like, wow. Kind of funny though when in the future, robots must apply for a visa to travel to Singapore and apply for jobs. (laughs). But that sort of possibility can be extremely true. It’s scary.

Google Self-Driving Car

Ai/Robots will replace delivery, taxi drivers, cooks, local provision shop vendors, payroll, HRs. A.I. will get a lot smarter. Our most powerful PCs will be as small as our handhelds. You won’t need designers to create intricate designs as you only need to imagine what is on your mind to make the design pieces.

As more and more technologies and machines are being developed, there will be a need of more software engineers, programmers, developers and IT specialists as well as technicians to fix problems and continue to develop even smarter A.I.s and programmes.

Well, designers could become obsolete. Maybe evolve into a different name like ‘Imaginators’. Imagining things to create products in various software where people others can’t imagine. Jobs evolve to adapt to the changes. That will be my thought of what jobs would be like 100 years in the future.

So what's your thought? What will the jobs be like 100 years later?

On 30th Aug 2017, 30 HRs attended to this briefing on the ways of hiring through social media and making use of the support programmes launched by the government such as the Career Support Programmes, Professional Conversion Programmes and P-MAX Place and Train Programme for PMETs (Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians).

Kaplan Institute also joined this session with their booth set up to share with these HRs on the courses and training offered by them and how it can benefit them.

The attendees were given much more info on the ongoing Human Resource e-Career Fair that is happening now until next year June 2018. For those who are looking to hire Payroll Officers, HR Admins, etc. Even if they are also looking to change their positions to other HR opportunities.

Take a look!
