I think those who are desperate should maybe try a job agency to help. At least do some temp job or contract jobs while looking out for perm jobs..

I tried. But it did not work out even though im a native singaporean. Either got discriminate on nationality/married status or reject after final interviews (5-6 interviews). Am married with no kids. Husband still encourage me to keep on my tempo and apply for more jobs. Hope everyone could find a job soon.

If you're really short on cash, I think you can try applying for companies that usually mass hire workers either for events or because of high turnover. Mostly F&B or retail companies. You can apply for other jobs while working part-time or temp.

This is just my response and does not reflect what everyone else thinks
F&B's interview is the toughest. Try for a few hours , performance good you can start. If bad , they will give you a staff meal and ask you to get out ( in a nice way of course ). I know cause I tried Macdonalds.
Retail. Retail is mostly about membership , membership. Fail this and out the door lol.
Great advice but some people like myself have already tried it and failed at it

adding on in another reply cause ( someone one would not allow an edit button for more than 5 mins -_- )
Retail: Retail is mostly about membership , membership. Fail this and out the door lol.
The issue above and also the fact that now we have to pass a retail test set by the retail company. Apple and challenger would be examples

Just got word from jobline that there is a position for a IT helpdesk position.
(Sucks , again IT zzz. ) Why do IT jobs keep coming my way -_-
I am no technician in the first place. If I were to grade myself technically , I would say that I a smart or advanced user. Someone with abit of know how.
In terms of pure technical, I would leave it to some expert zzzz.
Why do I not forsee another 1 year job on my resume -_-
well I need money so anything goes I suppose zzzz

Just spoke to Jobline and I must say I am shocked lol. They told me to rewrite my resume to include the Full Job Description lol. JD who includes a JD into a resume.
I mean who is going read all that junk. I mean all people will look at is what you can bring to the team and nothing else. Weird people jobline .

im honestly quite shocked at the replies on this thread. I'm in my late 20s and currently quit my job recently. have been going for interviews the past few weeks <5 tho I've applied for tonnes. honestly did not know the market is that bad.
anyway i was from a bank call centre before and the turnover rate is high, they are constantly hiring temps/contracts etc.
those who are desperate for a job can try their luck there.
i believe in time we are able to find jobs, its just a matter of how picky you are.
