I too was a self sponsored pilot and have been looking to SQ for a job since 89. Those of you who made it well done. SQ have never been so kind to me. In all these years they have never even invited me down for an interview, or even acknowledged my applications. However, all is not lost, at first if you don't get in, try and try again, and try other companies. It took awhile, and I'm enjoying what I like to do, ie, flying, with far better rewards than what I would acheive at SQ. The world is very small, there are jobs out there.
