Major props to my friend Ollie (Head of Talent at Golden Gate Ventures) for filming this video! In part 1, we’ll be discussing how we both got our jobs, the different types of work visas in Singapore, and how you can get your visa sponsored. In the next few videos, we’ll also be covering topics around how to stand out amongst the crowd when job hunting at Singaporean companies, tips for fresh grads, resume & interview advice and answering specific questions around working in tech, venture capital (VC), and the startup space.
