A boiling water that can harden the egg is the same element that can soften a potato! One thing that I have learned during this pandemic is that we must make the most out of our circumstance. Being on a “circuit breaker” entails that we have control over our schedules. Hence, consider enrolling in an online class or searching for an online job.
The Internet has a plethora of online job listings. Where do you start? Well, I have gathered 4 websites that offer legitimate jobs.
#1: CULTJOBS
Website: https://www.cultjobs.com
For specialized jobs that focus on the creative field, look no further than CultJobs. It rejects any potential listing that does not fit the “creative jobs that are based in Singapore” bill. Thus, you will be able to check the jobs that will make use of your talent.
If you are coming from a non-creative field then, you must move on to the next website. If you are a creative freelancer then, you best bookmark this website.
#2: FREELANCER
Website: https://www.freelancer.sg
Freelancer is one of the most well-established freelancing portal around the world. You might have heard of it from your friends. Freelancer works by letting the freelancers bid publicly for jobs posted by the clients. Job does not automatically go to the lowest bidder. Instead, other factors such as qualifications and length of work will be considered.
Competition is fierce! You may strengthen your profile by completing different “exams” that offer skill certifications within the website.
#3: STARTUPJOBS
Website: https://startupjobs.asia
It is no one’s fault that we are currently being thrown in our homes. Instead of whinning, consider embracing the jobs offered by start-ups. Help the community by going to StartUpJobs.
The start-up world is different from JobsDB. Its categories are more refined. You will not look for “F&B” as a category. You will be given “data analysis” or “front-end development” as job categories.
#4: MYCAREERSFUTURE
Website: https://www.mycareersfuture.sg
Last but not the least is the job portal ran by the Singapore government to help Singaporeans find jobs. It is called MyCareersFuture. Unlike other job portals, MyCareersFuture allows you to state the skills that you have. After this, you will be shown relevant listings that require your skills. It enhances the “goodness of fit”.

You may be surprised that some job posts on MyCareersFuture are marked as “Government support available”. Please check if this is available for freelancers too.
