RECRUITMENT  SINGAPORE MEDIA  SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT

Singapore - Media professionals will soon see more opportunities, with 10,000 creative media jobs about to be created as part of the Media Development Authority of Singapore's Media Fusion 2015 masterplan.

With the Singapore government investing $230 million as part of the Singapore Media Fusion fund to  propel the industry forward, Anna Mallon, general manager of SAE Institute Singapore says the creative media industry, with its recession-resistant qualities, has been identified as an important growth engine to fuel Singapore's economy.

According to a report by Singapore Media Fusion, this industry in Asia Pacific is predicted to have one of the fastest growth globally, allowing world-class media companies to establish themselves in Singapore. Consequently, more local jobs will be created to support the growth of the industry.

With the local music industry slowly gaining popularity and recognition, creative media professionals like audio engineers are now in great demand. Similarly, firms in the creative media space are increasingly on the look-out for well-rounded professionals that understand the end-to-end production process. Hence, "local graduates in creative media studies who are exposed to a holistic education and robust curriculum are high in demand and extremely marketable," says Mallon.

Mallon also believes that success in the industry will comes down to passion. The creative media industry is mainly passion-driven, and professionals who succeed are people who feel the "beat in their blood".
