What Jobs Are Available for International Students? (job placement)
No commentsBy Randy Wheeler
Being a student considered to be the most wonderful time in life of every person. You are provided with money, accommodation and all sorts of recreational activities. However, some students are not satisfied with their life and try to be more independent from their parents. The biggest manifestation of their freedom and independence is the job. Almost 80 percents of all students have or had a part-time job. Moreover, they try to work in summer and pass the internship at some company. But some students go even further, they want to find some job abroad.
So, what is available for international students who want to have a job?
1.The first and the most common is the on-campus employment. International students can work at school no more than twenty hours per week during the academic year. There is also a possibility to work full-time during summer holidays. To have an on-campus job, one should consult with a foreign student advisor. One can also find different types of on-campus jobs at the international student office. If one is not satisfied with his/her current position, it is possible to change a job, however, for this he/she should register this changes at the same office.
2.The international students can have an experiential learning. It provides them with the possibility to apply the acquired knowledge in practice. It is called practical training. This training should be in the field of their study. There are two types of practical training: curricular and optional practical training.
3.Another opportunity for international students is the internship with the international organization. However, it is not that easy. It is seldom used employment. Moreover, internship can be provided only by a recognized international organization. The student should have a certificate from this organization. In addition, the internship practice must be provided with organizations sponsorship.

Importance of having employment law consultants
By Mr Safety Mr Safety41
The world has been greatly improved technologically. By using modern technology the world has been able to optimise time to a great extent. However way of business has changed, the basic framework hasn’t. All the industries must still follow employment law at any cost.
Employment laws are laws preventing employers from exploiting their employees, and at the same time, forces a company to know the limits and rules within which the business has to remain. For companies who prefer to do business in several countries at the same time, it is extremely important to understand the employment law guidelines within those countries. It is virtually impossible for an owner who has a full grown multinational business to ensure awareness. This is the role of employment law consultants. The role of such employment law consultants starts before the company is launched. The employment law consultants would need to have a very strong grip on the subject. He/she would need to provide the basic framework of employment law in the concerned country to the owner, aiding the owner in planning his business without moving out of the limits set by the law. The consultant would also need to keep a close watch on the direction of the company as it grows.
These employment law consultants can make the life of an owner a lot simpler. The charges are very much affordable, and the work is done with a preset deadline in an organised and systematic manner. Employment law consultants have official websites, all information required is present on the website which is kept extremely simple and easy to handle. It is not a wonder to find that seeking advice from employment law consultants is popular with organisations all over the world. For all things related to employment law, these companies are the best bet.

Employers Fight to Retain their Talent
By Mark Lim T.T.
The latest Hays Quarterly Report reveals that an increasing number of employers in Singapore are willing to counter offer in efforts to retain their staff.
“Over the past few months, the number of vacancies has been steadily increasing. Rising vacancy activity naturally leads to a spike in candidate interest, particularly from those quality passive candidates that keep an eye on the market,” says Chris Mead, General Manager of Hays in Singapore.
“Many employers are aware of the skill shortages but take it for granted their staff will remain loyal. Unless they have communicated career development plans clearly, employees are likely to question their future and begin to explore the rising number of opportunities on the market.
“For employers with a strong talent pool, this means you need to do everything you can to retain your team before they seek or attract interest from outside the business,” he said.
“Counter offers are on the rise. This trend is likely to continue over the next 12 months as employers fight to retain their key talent.”
According to the July September Hays Quarterly Report, employers will be looking to recruit the following skills:
Accountancy & Finance: Candidates with strong MAS or international regulatory experience are in high demand as are Internal Auditors and Product Controllers.
Within commerce and industry, the main area of demand is in the retail and FMCG sectors. Professional services firms are also ramping up their hiring activities and there are more opportunities within Corporate Finance. The property and construction sectors are actively hiring Finance Managers, Business Development Managers and Project Managers.
Banking: Settlement candidates with good derivatives product knowledge are in demand due to the migration of such roles from Europe to Singapore. There is also high demand for experienced Project Managers and Business Analysts with specific product knowledge.
Operational Risk and Compliance professionals with solid relevant experience in the region are in continued demand, especially at mid and senior levels, with the heightened state of regulatory and controls environment.
Construction: The civil and infrastructure sector is recovering quickly, fuelled by the underground rail network and the MRT line, which is scheduled for completion in 2013.
Specific senior positions are still highly sought on a needs basis. From a contractors perspective, the emphasis is on local experience.
Finance Technology: Java, C++ Developers and C# Developers are in high demand for work on projects to build in-house low latency, high frequency real time trading systems.
The Market and Credit Risk areas of investment banks are also in need of extra resources as the need to integrate risk systems into emerging markets continues. Adding to this is the demand for more bespoke solutions around obtaining real-time data feeds.
Information Technology: A number of large scale projects have resulted in demand for strong technical candidates, particularly within the banking, telecom and energy sectors. Candidates with more than five years of experience in Oracle, JAVA, C# and .Net are also in demand. There are a variety of roles available, including Developers and Project Managers.
Oil & Gas: Singapore continues to strengthen its reputation as a premier location for FPSO conversions as well as for building offshore support vessels. These niche areas are both busy as more exploration projects are put back on the agenda following the recession.
There is a steady increase of recruitment activity in both the marine and shipping sectors. Experienced EPC and Design personnel are also in high demand.
Pharma: There has been a noticeable increase in the number of bio-manufacturing positions, which stems from continued inward investment in the area. Abbott Nutritions recently opened powder plant has played a large role. Many more companies are planning on doing the same over the next year or so in order to take advantage of economies of scale and reduced costs per hire.
Property: Project Managers as well as Facilities Managers are needed to assist large multinational companies move from their existing buildings to brand new buildings. Candidates in high demand for these roles are those with more than six years experience in a Project Management or Facilities Management role in Singapore, ideally delivering commercial interior or data centre projects for a large corporate, banking or IT space.
Sales & Marketing: Firms across many industries are confidently investing in sales and marketing talent. There is a common focus on professionals that will have an immediate and measurable impact on the firms bottom line. As a result, front line Sales Executives with a solid track record and good industry contacts continue to be in high demand.
With the FMCG industry, companies are investing heavily in their brand and product management. This is set to continue for the remainder of 2010.
