Hi im from science. I have been doing temp jobs while looking out for perm roles.

If you really can't find a job, go for skills training. Learn to drive and you can be an Uber or Grab driver. You can make a good living if you are not lazy. Work hard and you can save a lot. Then invest your money well and you can become rich.

Stop complaining and wasting time.

Which major of Science? I thought Science is pretty much ok, there are many jobs out there for this discipline. Or you could consider studying Masters or PhD.

I cannot find a job.

I'm from NUS Science (Life Sciences), graduated last year. I think the job market for science graduates now is rather bad, especially as I have no intention to pursue a career in Science. I'm having a hard time finding a permanent job, and I feel that employers don't specifically demand for Science graduates.

I have been working contract jobs/temp jobs/tuition to earn some income all these while. I wish to upgrade myself to make myself more employable but courses are expensive and I don't have the income to spare. It's really demoralizing to keep getting rejections/wait for news from employers and I feel so lost now...

Hi, did you graduated with an upper class or? I thought i was the rare few that graduated from local u ,yet months later still looking for a job. Did u graduate during may 15 or aug 15? Have u taken internships back then? I am also feeling lost but have to stay strong during this tough period. I know the feeling of rejection. Sighs.

Hey. I think it's nt just science. Many of us business students from local Uni can't find a job too
