Lol. I think this poster is definitely not a parent. Imagine paying thousands for a degree education and tell the child "you can drive grab" because its "honest work"...all the nonsensical rubbish.

No degree and in mid 40's therefore I'm not able to land a permanent job for 2 years. I have been taking up contract position and when I do get called up for interview, the employers have doubts that why am i on contract role!? I'm trying to get some income and let my skill be updated!
Singapore employers are discriminating people above 40. All we want is a job but that prove to be hard and depression do crept in and out sometimes.

Yes, even so when you have a family. There are really discrimination around. Easier said than done, it is still better to remain optimistic. Do not let depression find you.

All I can hope is luck. Pray that my resume will not be cast aside and more company will call me up soon.

If it happens once, yes the boss could be a bad boss. If it happens twice, you could be twice unlucky to have another bad boss. If it is a recurring situation in different jobs and environment, then you could be the problem. Reflect on it.

Setting up your own side business online
Hey guys, I have read a lot of stories of people here unable to find ankons in the market now. Me myself was retrenched in may2018 recently.This was the 2nd time I am being asked to leave from my job even though I am only 34yo. Luckily I did setup a side ecommerce side biz while working full time for the past few years so my income did not drop to 0 straight away.i am now also helping others to setup a similar side business generating maybe 1k/mth or more with 2hrs -3hrs a day spent. Do drop me an email at <deleted by admin> if you are keen to find out more. If you cannot find a job out there, maybe creating a job for yourself may be the next viable option. Thank you
