Somehow the career counselling/ advisory/ guidance services in Singapore, have not progressed/ developed as much as in other places around the world. A typical example of this is the number of career coaches or comprehensive career management firms in Singapore, which is literally a handful. This is in contract to the USA where you will find hundreds of people offering such services. Even if you adjust for the population in both places, there are still much much more offerings available in the USA. Another area where you might face this is with resume writing service in Singapore. There are only 2-4 firms providing such services, out of which 1-2 look very unprofessional.
One reason for this could be how careers are perceived in different parts of the world. In the USA the concepts of enjoying your work, career self management, work-life balance and so on, are well entrenched. However, in various parts of Asia, all of this is still to take hold and most people are still more concerned with prestige and money
