Unemployed/picky
I am a fresh grad from a local university, arts degree, second lower.
I was offered a 2.7-2.8...
Not sure if I should take up. Like it will be a really humbling experience for me and i dont know if i can take it, especially when my friends would be earning a 3.2k/mth...

Which industry is that in? I know how u feel, felt the same way when I started out. But to be honest with you, in the grand scheme of things, 300-400 at the start is negligible.
After 3 years, I'm earning at least 30% more than my uni peers, many of which start out 30% more than me.

I got offered a job in the field of elderly care (social service sector). Now I am not sure to just accept it or continue waiting for better opportunities (which may be never/long time after).

You have to ask yourself what your motivation is in going into this sector. Most people that I know that entered the social service sector didn't do it for the money. If you are looking for financial independence, this is not the route to take.

Yes you're right. Hmm I've sent in many applications. But no response so far. I would say I have relevant internship experience, just maybe cause of my class of degree...

Wow I'm facing the same situation now. I mass apply to jobs I see on careers@gov, because I have no specialisation. I wonder if this is why I don't get any response from them at all. Could it be that I try my luck for every one that I am eligible for and hence the hr got turned off?? Job application is making me crazy

No wonder singapore needs to import foreign talents.
