It can be challenging for international students to secure jobs in Singapore, and the time it takes varies widely.

- Typical job search duration: Most professionals find a job within 4 - 12 weeks after starting applications.
- High-demand fields: Graduates in areas like computing, engineering, and finance often secure roles in 4 - 8 weeks.
- Other fields: Roles in more competitive or less defined sectors may take 8 - 16 weeks.
- International students: The process may take longer due to visa requirements and employer preferences.

Starting your job search early, using university career services, customizing your applications, and networking can improve your chances. If you need tailored guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
