@kkeducationalconsult It is not easy to find a job in Singapore -  you need good (and recognised) educational certificates and work experience. Do you have that?

Furthermore, it is not possible to chance from a visitor to work visa - they are different things and must be applied for separately. It is also very unikely that you fid a job AND get the work visa within the validity of a visitor visa- so plan on going back home and waiting for the results there!

This forum gives lots of good advice on how to find jobs and what visa types are available. You should read that!
