very good money. but he work 6 days a week. everyday more than 12 hours. after he started this, his health deteriorated due to insufficient rest. but when there are no jobs invitation from the hundreds of resumes he sent, he is content of this hectic working life for now.

there are always jobs available in the market, but what kind of jobs are available and whether you are willing to take it, that's another thing.

some of his other friends from what I know, turn to MLM after couldn't get a job for 1 year.

no sponsor program and his parents cant afford. plus his condition/handicap don't allow him to be a lecturer (according to him).

Just curious.

Has anyone tried applying for managerial positions in SPRING?
There seems to be many such openings but most of my applications got rejected.

What type of qualifications are they looking for?

I have a postgrad degree from NUS engineering.

btw i just accepted an offer after jobless for seven months. Luckily pay offer is much higher than my previous pay. The advice is never quit a job first if haven found a new job, unless no choice.
What job did you manage to find and how much does it pay? Is it an MNC or local company?

For those who are jobless for quite some time i.e more than 5 months, will u feel nervous about starting work again? I have been jobless for quite a few months and am starting work soon. Feeling rather nervous.
