That's so broad. Selling insurance can also be considered finance-related job. Would you be interested? Why don't you try getting some relevant experience through internships first?

Foreigners studying or graduate from non-poly or local uni are not allowed to do internship in Singapore as long as I know. Yeah, I am sorry that I forgot to exclude selling insurance. Is there any advise or idea you can give me ?
On the other hand, I have failed numerical and verbal reasoning although I felt I could do it, anyone with the same case ?

Are you sure foreigners are not allowed to do internships in singapore?

I have got a coursemate from local uni who is here on student pass (or whatever you call it.. he is not a PR or citizen) that have done an internship while he was still a student.

Yes, I do not know. I know if there are front, middle and back office and their roles respectively. That's why I am asking for advise.
In more literal way, I am asking how to get suitable job faster for foreigner, pte uni and low grades people like me.
I apologise if this thread offend you in anyway (from your reply's style)

And where did your information came from?

A simple search using google suggests otherwise.

only internship sponsored through school curriculum is allowed, as far as i know.

Not the same guy you are replying to, but just cannot resist chipping in.

Dude you cannot even tell the difference between finance jobs and jobs within the banking industry (which includes finance and many other functions like compliance, sales, customer service, marketing, legal, ops, hr, it, procurement etc.)

Front, middle and back office is a simplified term used to define a a bank's typical business operations structure, they are not description of finance jobs. When people are asking you what sort of finance jobs you want, they are asking things like accountant, treasurer, controller, FP&A, auditor, pricing, payroll, management accounting, investments, economist etc.

Looks to me you just want to join a bank, have no idea on even basic terminology and any job will do as long as the office is in a bank. Quite surprised at this kind of laid back mentality given that you are a foreigner with just a private degree.
