The MICE industry is critical to Singapores tourism sector, as we seek togrow and strengthen our position as a leading convention and exhibitioncity in Asia. While the industry has been adversely impacted by eventcancellations as companies cut budgets amidst the global economic
recession, there are already signs of recovery and the long-term outlookfor the industry is bright. Venue providers are beginning to fill their bookswith new events lined up to 2010. The opening of the Integrated Resorts(IRs) with their own MICE teams and venues will also help to growthe pie. MICE companies are therefore looking to hire for positions suchas Sales/Business Development Managers and Event Organisers.
Tour & Travel
The tour & travel industry forms the cogs of the tourism sector. There areabout 800 travel agents licensed in Singapore, providing myriad travelproducts and services such as inbound and outbound packages,accommodation reservations, ticketing and cruises. Although global traveldemand has been dampened by the economic recession and the recentH1N1 pandemic, the tour & travel industry is expected to make a strongrecovery as the global economy gradually recovers and travel sentimentspick up. Tour & travel companies are therefore looking to hire forpositions such as Coach Captains, Ticketing Consultants/Supervisorsand Travel Consultants.

FOOD & BEVERAGE AND RETAIL
Singapores vibrant food & beverage (F&B) and retail industries havemade us a leading gastronomic and shopping capital in Asia-Pacific. InF&B, we offer diverse cuisines and dining experiences as well as aflourishing nightlife for residents and visitors alike. Our retail landscapehas also been greatly enhanced with the opening of new malls,rejuvenation of the Orchard Road shopping belt and upcoming opening of
the Integrated Resorts (IRs).
However, with the performance of both industries closely tied to consumerconfidence and the health of the general economy, F&B and retailcompanies have been adversely affected by the economic downturn.Business activities and volume have slowed down as consumers cut backon discretionary spending and visitor arrivals decline.
Despite the decline in business activities, employment opportunities arestill available in both industries. Existing job vacancies, expansion ofcurrent outlets and new openings mean that manpower demand remainsstrong. F&B and retail companies continue to hire, particularly for rank-and-file positions such as Waiters/Waitresses, Cooks, Kitchen Helpers,Retail Assistants and Cashiers.

The electronics industry is the backbone of Singapores manufacturingsector, generating about S$68 billion (projected for 2008) in output andemploying about one fifth, 92,000 workers, of the manufacturingworkforce.
The global economic recession has adversely affected the electronicsindustry, as global consumer demand declined sharply amidst job lossesand household deleveraging in the US and Europe. As a result, output ofSingapores electronics industry shrank 7.1 % in 2008, compared to a4.1% growth in 2007. However, the bottoming out process of theelectronics industry appears to have begun. Business sentiments for thesecond half of 2009 in the electronics industry have improved, withcompanies expecting higher orders and exports and higher levels ofproduction.

Risk managers safeguard the well-being of a financial institution byensuring that it does not take on excessive levels of risks. This involvesidentifying sources of risk, measuring and analysing the risks, and usingfinancial instruments to manage exposure to these risks. Risk managersmay also specialise in one of various risk types, including credit risk therisk arising from the failure of individuals or companies to meetrepayments, market risk the risk of adverse movements of market
factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodityprices, and operational risk the risk arising from inadequate internalcontrols and processes.
The sub-prime crisis brought to the fore the importance of riskmanagement, as excessive credit risks undertaken by financial institutionsunravelled and adversely affected the real economy. In the ensuing tightcredit environment, demand for governance-centric roles such as riskmanagement, compliance and audit has grown. Financial institutions inSingapore continue to hire for risk management professionals, inparticular candidates with experience in credit risk management, strongproduct knowledge (e.g. commodities, derivatives) and quantitativemodelling skills. As governments around the world put in place more

3D modelers translate character and prop designs intophysical and computer-generated models; riggerscreate physical skeletons or structures; texture artistscreate textures for the modelled characters, objects
and environment; animators produce images to createthe illusion of movement.
Digital Animation Artists are involved in the entire production process fromhand sketching characters and environments to animating the film. Duringthe pre-production phase, Concept Artists produce 2D drawings ofcharacters and environments. Using these concept drawings, 3D
Modelers sculpt physical models using clay/plaster and create digitalmodels using animation software.
Riggers build rigs which define the internal skeletal structure of charactersand determine the characters range of motions, while Texture Artistscreate highly detailed textures for characters such as skin and fur. Afterthe layout, models, rigs, textures, voice tracks and timings have beenfinalised, Animators use animation software to create realistic andseamless moving images.
While the Games & Animation industry is associated with a glamorousand exciting image, the amount of work that goes into creating aproduction is substantial. Creating a digital character for example can be
highly time-consuming and reiterative, taking up to a few months to createto perfection. The qualities of passion, perseverance and professionalism(3 Ps) are therefore highly valued by industry. In fact, games andanimation studios have indicated that they are willing to hire talents in theabsence of qualifications, as long as they possess strong artistic anddrawing skills, demonstrate the 3 Ps and can showcase a strongportfolio.
