Searching for Singapore Sales Jobs: Make your CV More International

January, 24, 2012 • Posted by Roy

Singapore has survived the economic downturn that has been grounding the economies of most of the other developed economies since 2008, including its Southeast Asia counterpart Japan. Singapore still has low unemployment rates. There are many Singapore sales jobs that are attracting foreigners into the prosperous city-state. There are sales jobs in financial services, in FMCG & consumer products, in healthcare & pharmaceutical, in the industrial sector, in IT & telecommunications, in leisure & travel, in media & entertainment, and in other industries. You could work as a sales manager/director, as an assistant sales manager, in business development, in channel sales, as a fresh graduate, as a management trainee, in direct sales in key account management, in regional sales, in sales management, and in telesales.

One way to increase your chances of landing Singapore sales jobs is making your CV more international. A CV is very important because it is your 1st contact with potential employers. Employers will judge you based on what is contained in your CV and what is missing. You could make your CV more international by enlisting the services of a recruitment agency. Recruitment agencies have agents who have the training and experience necessary to get you a working CV.

Ensure that the contact details are correct since companies usually phone or email to invite you for an interview. When giving a phone number, make sure you include your country code. Show the qualifications that are relevant to the field you are applying for and show the relevant experience. Include previous professional development that you may have participated in. Do not forget to include your hobbies and personal interests. International travel or work experience comes in handy when making a CV for Singapore employers since it shows you can adjust to working and living in the country well. If you can, have referees from different countries.
