Hang in there bro, I was out of the job market for 3 years, I feel your stress. Everyday trawling through job portals everyday, facing pressure from family members who look down on you for not providing $$$ and contribute to the bills. Was stuck in a rut for 6 months before I decided to get out and just do any job. Did a lot of part time jobs in those 3 years, delivery driver, bouncer, cleaner, even columbarium... finally landed a job back in July as a senior engineer with an aerospace engineering firm.

I quit my $5k p.m. job last year April and jobless till now. In the 9 months i was jobless i applied countless jobs, had a grand total of 10 interviews and 1 offer but was subsequently withdrawn. That withdrawn job offer was because I misrepresented as I put my last drawn pay as $2.8k instead of $5k p.m. in order to better my chances to get a role that pays $3k p.m. It seems impossible to get a job in Singapore these days.

Why you quitted your 5K job without an offer in hand?
