Looking for a full-time or part-time job on FastJobs? One simple profile update can help employers understand what you are looking for faster: completing “Your next role”.
This section helps you clearly share your job preferences, including your preferred job title, preferred work locations, job type, expected salary, and availability. With more complete and accurate preferences, you can receive up to 5x more relevant job matches daily, and it is easier for employers to connect you with roles that fit our “Talent Search” employer feature.
“Your next role” is a section in your FastJobs profile where you can tell employers what kind of job you are looking for next.
Instead of only showing your past work experience, this section focuses on your future job preferences. It helps answer important questions such as:
The clearer your preferences are, the easier it is for direct employers and FastJobs to know your interests and match you with the right jobs.
The Preferred Job Title lets employers know what type of role you are interested in.
For example, you can indicate roles such as:
You can add as many preferred job titles as you like, especially if you are open to different types of roles. This helps employers understand the range of jobs you are interested in and may improve your chances of being matched with suitable opportunities.
💡 #FastTip 1: Add as many preferred job titles as you like to improve your chances of matching with suitable roles.
You can also select your Preferred Work Locations based on specific areas in Singapore.
For example, if you select locations such as Downtown Core or Kallang, they may be grouped under the Central region. Other selected locations may also be classified under broader regions such as:
This helps employers understand which parts of Singapore you are open to working in.
For example, if an employer is hiring for a role in the Central region and your selected work locations fall under Central, your profile may appear more relevant to them.
Choosing your preferred work locations also helps employers match you with roles that are more convenient for your daily travel.
💡 #FastTip 2: Select locations that you are genuinely comfortable travelling to.
The Job Type section helps employers understand the kind of work arrangement you prefer.
For example, you may be looking for:
This is important because different employers hire for different work arrangements. By selecting the right job type, you make it easier for employers to match you with opportunities that fit your schedule and needs.
If you are a student, you may prefer part-time or internship roles. If you are looking for stable employment, full-time roles may be more suitable. Updating this section helps employers contact you for the right type of opportunity.
💡 #FastTip 3: Choose the job type that matches your current availability and lifestyle.
You can also include your Expected Salary under “Your next role”.
This lets employers know your expected pay range, either by:
Adding your expected salary helps employers understand if their job offer matches what you are looking for. It also makes the matching process clearer, as employers can contact jobseekers whose expected pay is aligned with the role.
For example, if you are looking for part-time work, you may indicate your expected hourly rate. If you are looking for a full-time role, you may indicate your expected monthly salary.
This helps reduce back-and-forth and allows employers to better assess if the opportunity is suitable for you.
💡 #FastTip 4: Add your expected salary so employers can better match you with roles that fit your pay expectations.
There are also availability settings that help employers know whether you are ready and open to opportunities.
You can turn this on to indicate that you can start work immediately.
This lets employers know that you are available and ready to start work soon. It can be helpful when employers need to hire urgently or fill positions quickly.
However, do note that this availability status will be automatically removed every week. This keeps your profile information fresh and accurate, so employers are not relying on outdated availability details.
If you are still available to start work anytime, remember to turn it on again after it resets.
You can also check “Visible to Employers” to be searchable by employers who are hiring.
When this is checked, employers can view your profile and understand that you are open to being contacted for suitable roles. This helps make your profile more discoverable and gives employers a clearer signal that you are actively looking or available for job opportunities.
💡 #FastTip 5: Turn on both “Can Start Work Anytime” and “Visible to Employers” if you are ready to work. This lets employers know that you are available, open to opportunities, and easier to contact for suitable roles.
The more complete your “Your next role” section is, the easier it is for FastJobs and employers to understand what you are looking for.
By updating your preferred job title, work locations, job type, expected salary, and availability, you can receive up to 5x more relevant job matches compared to incomplete profiles.
This helps employers and FastJobs to match you with roles that better fit what you want — from the job type and location to your expected pay and start date.
Your FastJobs profile should not just show where you have worked before. It should also show employers what you are looking for next.
