Job hunting is not easy. One needs to be positive despite meeting rejections.
Share my job hunting history. I resigned from a job worked less than a year (not my first job, my previous work experiences were 2 to 3 years) Quitted without securing a new job. Pretty demoralized back then, frequent long working hours till wee hours. Did not know exactly what I wanted to pursue in life. While I was still figuring, I was fortunate to help a friend to set up business. During my unemployment, I did not want to do nothing. After a few months, I decided to start the job hunting. I did not track how many resumes I sent, I went for a total 12 interviews with 6 companies over the span of 2 months before receiving an offer. Faced numerous rejections without updates of the interview status despite attended second and final round for a few. Also had recruiters and hiring managers commented my expected salary was on a high side when I only asked for my previous salary expectation and negotiable. Even had Recruiters called me to downgrade my role to just accept any job first, I declined as I did not see myself in that industry. I went for interviews experiencing interviewer telling me his success and before I could say anything, I was labelled as inexperienced. I also attended all 3 rounds and was told the position was an urgent one and I was on top of list with relevant experience, only to be told weeks later I wasn't selected. Hopes shattered.. I applied even for positions I was not really fancy in. My luck finally came when I finally got an offer after going through 2 rounds of interview and within the same week received the job offer. The best moment, I received a significant pay increment. Really thankful to the organization for giving me this opportunity. Do not give up, the best is yet to come. |

Well, i been 3 mths on my job after jobless for almost a year. So far i am happy with here. Dun give up! you will find it.. |
I've been reading up all these for quite some time, well, 7 months to be exact. Like some of you, I HAD been jobless for quite some time as well after my last employer moved their operations out of Singapore. I didn't want to drop my salary expectation too low for 3 reasons. 1, employers base new salaries on last drawn. 2, with new drawn salary which is too low, it will take years, possibly never to get back my last drawn. 3, if all my future salaries are to be based on new low salary, I will have -ive every month (have family, a dad, bills to pay).
Long story short, I only checked jobstreet and jobsdb for jobs. Turned in hundreds, if not thousand of applications but no reply. Eventually found a job site which sort of lists even jobs from employers websites and from some small unknown jobsites. Found a job through one of the employers' websites. I think probably because not much competition as they didn't publish on those popular jobsites. So if bros and sis here want to give it a try, it is ://.rollingeggs.com Hope you guys can end your bad luck as I did. |

Hi infernolord or anyone who like to advise, Recall that you said you didn't have a good relationship with yr ex boss. When you were looking for a job, did the recruiter or yr current co ask for referrals? How did you deal with it? |
