Career search in Singapore, Hong Kong HK, Asia?
Best way to job hunt for Asia, Esp. Singapore & HK?
For e.g. There are:
Yahoo HotJobs
Monster
Dice
Ladders

Also, would it be possible for a native English speaker (no other european languages) to land a corporate role outside Singapore in another city / country? What cities / countries would you recommend?
PS: Also looking for opportunities in:

What field of work are you in? I have worked in S'pore and now working in Jakarta. I go to the website(s) of the places that I know where I want to work, and see if they are hiring for my position. Many expats who have jobs in other countries are employed by a corporation in their home country, and will take a stint in Asia. The pay is usually better as you are on an expat contract. If hired by the company directly, you run the chance of being a local hire, with a salary and benefits more in line with the country you are working in.

Also, I KNOW that if I was to target specific companies that would work. I am looking to target based on certain role(s) & keywords that is easily done only through a CENTRAL JOB DATABASE.. Something like a Dice, Monster, Yahoo Hotjobs.
From what I have found from people I know in India - Its Naukri.com.
Anything similar to that for Singapore, Dubai etc?
I might even change my line of work but I want to be able to SEE a database where I can see what kind of opportunies arise at this point.
