MANILA, Philippines – New opportunities are in the offing for many Filipinos with thousands of jobs expected to open in Singapore.
 
Agence France-Presse reported that Singapore will need about 100,000 new workers this year.

According to the report, this is what Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had been telling the media during his visit in the US.

Although Singapore had implemented stricter measures in hiring foreigners, it will soon open its doors to foreign workers to be deployed in several sectors of the Lion City.
 
A headhunter confirmed that Singapore is in need of workers in the finance, information technology, and hospitality sectors.

As this developed, several headhunters have said that local job prospects are also getting brighter with the new administration.

Accounting, IT and the call center industry are still in demand in the country. Job opportunities in sales in real estates are also opening up.

Meanwhile, JobsDB.com, a search engine for job seekers, said employers are looking for employees with good communication skills, computer literate, and can multi-task.
