Tender period up
Hi, this week is my last week in my current company. I have tendered without a job two months ago and this Friday will be my last day. However, I am panicky now cos I have no job interviews though I sent out my resume to many companies. I do not want to consider other industry. There are no job opening at this moment. The job adverts were many weeks ago so I guess the position has been taken up. I do not feel alright to send my resume to agencies cos they are just wasting my time. I had one call from a job agency briefly interviewing me over the phone. I have stated so clearly my reason for leaving my previous job yet she still ask me. In the end, she just made some stupid assumptions about me and then said will get back to me which of course never hear from her anymore.
Can anyone tell me whether you got your perm job via a job agency and has been working since happily ever after ? Do you think job agencies are more suitable for students who are looking for temp assignments or ppl who only want contract or temp jobs ? They really wasted my time unless I have no other choice but nowadays I see alot of job agencies advertising. |
Why not be a businessman? A low risk, high return business is to drive a taxi. You can easily earn $5k pm if you are hardworking. If you save $3k pm, in 30 years time, you can save $1m and you can retire well.

I quitted without job n last day was end feb. I gt interview every week n 2 job offer. Started work on 2nd week of april. I suggest u vet your resume and take on some part time tuition on weekdays evenings or weekends. Dun be too kan chiong or worried. Find a good job n remember y u left without job is the job not gd. So dun be in hurry to start another one. Must be one that u relly like the environment and scope of work.
Jiayou. |
To answer your question on job agency I would say most r nt good experience except for adecco.
But full time job its better to apply direct cz higher basic. Full time job if u hv specific field u can go recruit express. I received numerous interviews frm them however none success. |
Please be serious lah. People no job and very anxious already.
By the way, even if taxi driving can accumulate $1m, that's in 30 years time. Dont know how small the $1m will be, maybe only $300K in 30 years? Also remember taxi driver no CPF by employer, no annual leave, everything come out from own pocket. Quote:

You can join the Marine industry
://.maritimecareers.com.sg/careers.php ://wdasingapore.blogspot.sg/2012/06/steering-his-way-to-maritime-career.html There are opportunities for training for technician roles. Since you dislike selling, perhaps learning a skills to fix ships, equipment is the right choice for you? Quote:

How do you answer question like this : Do you have any question for us ? during an interview.
I have already said no more question as I have read through the co. website but the interviewer do not seem to be impressed. |
Usually I asked hows the working culture like and what r some of the challenges in work. Actually thus question is for urself to know the company before joining.
|
please ask a few intellectual questions instead of saying nothing to ask.
This shows the employer that you are very keen to contribute to the organization. Question wise, please go think about it yourself. Its your job, not our job to spoonfeed you |

Well... sometimes I don't even know what to ask because the interviewer has told me what I want to know like company culture and challenges.
Instead of asking qns, I will just comment on what they have just said, hoping to buy some time to think of what qns to ask and to probe new topics. U can make it into a discussion. |
Can also ask wad r the qualities u think essential to be successful in this job.
See wad skills they nd n whether u can provide. |
Employer told me they dont know whether they can hire me or not?I used to work in government sector years ago , currently found a job in a law firm. After signing the appt letter, they told me as I was working as a civil servant before, they do not know whether can hire me or not and need to do checking. What should I do, should I leave on my own accord ? Should I ask them to reconsider hiring me and void the appt letter which I just signed ?

Been jobless for 6 months already.
29, nus ba. Tried applying on sites like jobs db, jobs central, job street, and many other sites, and many local and overseas companies career sites. Got one offer so far thru an small time agency, but they manipulated the contract terms against my favour, I looked hard and clear and decided to drop the offer. One of the things they did was to change the contract from 12 to 8 months and increase the penalty for breaking the bond. And many other limitations which I will not mention. I am feeling restless, tired. I spent so much of my savings but I have enough to last til the end of the year if I have to. I don't know what I should do, I have set a date on 1st June to apply for part time work at recruit express. Since no bloody company want to hire me. |

I have sent another 30 resumes over 2 days. Lets watch and see. Just went for an interview 2 days ago, and the person thought I was over-qualified. The position only required a diploma and it is for a primary school ICT coordinator. Pay is 1800. I don't mind doing this job, but the person thought I may decide to quit simply because I have a slightly better resume. Employers need to realise that there are people who are desperate already. |
Hi. Are u a fresh grad? Or quit w/o job?
|
Quote:
Quit w/o job... Just got a call, permanent night shift support engineer. 9pm to 9am. I cannot do night shift, I rather take a lower pay than night shift. How about yourself? what's your plight? same as mine? |
Quote:
The problem is the qualification and the salary. If lower your expected salary too much, the HR will consider negatively. If maintain expected salary, the HR will reject because of better options. Consider Sg now has high unemployment situation, surely we have to be stuck for quite some time, with new batch of fresh grad shipping in. |
I quit without job but jumped into another hastily but quit cz of inethical issues. So now oso looking.
R u spamming resumes? Engineer shud be many job right. Which specialization? I think its better find a gd one instead settling.. will regret one. They tend to tag ur pay with last paid. So if u accept low they will low ball u. |
I agree dun expect too much. But if u looking perm and tk a underemployed role it will be on the resume. Nowadays employers look alot at history of job. However if its just temp just take the experience while on job hunt.

I have been jobless for around 5 months now and everyday I keep spamming resumes on jobstreet, jobsdb and career@gov.
I think that probably I did not get shortlisted or selected is because I lack the relevant experience. Take a look at all the so-called entry level jobs now, they required at least 2 years of experience. Right now, I have job offers for maternity cover roles or short term contractual roles that require full commitment till end of contract. I know that it's best to take it instead of idling around at home but being available immediately is one of the advantages I have now... Frustrated |
I make a promise I will take whatever proper full time job that I receive next.

Situation quite bad
I am surprised there are so many young graduates unemployed now. I attended an employability course at e2i last month and realised there are many PMETs unemployed too.
I have been without a job since last Nov and have not been successful even in securing interviews. It is most likely due to my age, even though I have more than two decades of experience in my profession. Looks like the employment market is quite bad here in Singapore, despite what our government portrays. Very dishearten, sad |
Wen I sent resumes in march there's many interview. Nowadays I sent alot n no calls. Like 10 resumes a day.

That is the reality. Check out the number of uni grads applying for taxi license. And not to mention all those who call themselves Consultants but are unemployed in disguise. |
