    Here's How to Get a Government Job in Singapore

    Share Now

    All around the world, government jobs are some of the most highly coveted jobs available. Government jobs bring not just great compensation but also stability and job security. People of all ages strive to get a government job and get settled into a comfortable life.

    In Singapore as well, government jobs are in great demand. The Singapore government regularly advertises thousands of government jobs for people of different ages, experience levels, and qualifications. If you are looking for a government job in Singapore, we have you covered. Here are the steps to get a government job in Singapore.

    1. Check Your Eligibility

    The Government of Singapore is among the most liberal governments in the world when it comes to employment. There are thousands of ex-pats who live in Singapore, including foreign-born Singapore citizens, dual passport holders, and foreign citizens who hold a Singapore permanent residence. All of these citizen classes are permitted to work in Singapore for the government.

    Before you start looking for a job, if you are not a Singapore-born Singapore citizen, you might want to browse through your eligibility for a government job in Singapore. The Ministry of Manpower in Singapore offers an online self-assessment tool on its website that allows you to understand the type of jobs for which you are eligible.

    2. Start Looking for Government Jobs

    The careers website of the Government of Singapore is the single best place where you can go looking for jobs related to your industry. Whether you are a new graduate or an experienced professional looking to make a foray into the government sector, this platform is bound to have something for you.

    The website features the capability to filter jobs as per your needs and requirements. You can filter jobs as per job department, category, or work type. There are hundreds of government jobs available on the website at any point in time. 

    3. Understand Employment Practices

    If you are shifting from the private sector to the public sector, or from one country to another, it is important to understand the employment practices of your new place of work. The Government of Singapore has ensured the standardisation of employment practices across government jobs.

    The Ministry of Manpower provides a list of common employment practices that are followed in Singapore. From public holidays to personal leaves, and from compensation to taxation, all information is available on the Ministry of Manpower website. Before you choose a job, it would be prudent to go through this information.

    4. Apply for a Job

    In the list of jobs mentioned above, almost all jobs will have the option to apply online. Applications for government jobs in Singapore are much the same as in most other private jobs. You will need to submit a resume online and also fill in some information.

    Most of the jobs that you apply for will also ask you for citizenship information and require your personal details. The job profile, requirements, and responsibilities will be posted on the job listing page for you to acquaint yourself with.

    5. Interview and Job Offer

    Most government jobs will also require you to give one or two interviews, depending upon the level of seniority. The interviews need to be given just as for any other position, and there is nothing specific that is asked especially for government jobs.

    Once you have given the interview, if you are selected, you may accept or decline the offer. If you choose to accept the offer, make sure you have the requisite work documentation for the job.

    There are thousands of people who work in government jobs in Singapore, and this number has only been increasing. If you feel you are qualified for a government job, you should have no qualms about going through the easy application process and living a comfortable, well-settled life!
