Top 100 jobs in Singapore (2007)

Last hope: Feel for you mate. You don't need insincere and unloving people in your life. Singapore is really a mean place. If I were you, I would probably go overseas if possible and start afresh. Anyway, you've got nothing to lose. I recommend Down Under as a good place. (Don't worry ppl telling you about racism, it's only like 5% of the time). Be there for ages myself, and I love it. People are always willing to give you a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th chance (Why do you think they take in refugees from Middle East and Vietnam?). Plus there's a MINIMUM wage. Yes there right, a minimum wage. If you are willing to work hard there, survival is not an issue.

Last hope: Life is so much more than this little Red Dot (actually the dot on the atlas is bigger than the land itself). It's last hope here, but plentiful of hope elsewhere. The world is SO BIG, why stay in this little congested arena?

Cheers mate, all the best!

Hi guys, thks for the encouragement & kind words. I know thr r still good people around & good things that can overcome all the bad that has happened.

I am now getting ready for my interview. I have been to quite a lot of interviews this year. Believe it or not, sometimes i even make it to the 2nd or even 3rd interviews & end up not getting a job!

Al, thks for the migration advice. Yes, i've always thought about migration. In fact my parents are in Texas USA, & i've tried there for a while, & actually loved it. And i actually lived in Sydney too for 3years, during my studies. And my siblings are there. They evetually stayed on & are now citizens there. Lovely place, not as fast paced & they are all earning big & stress free, going back at 5pm everyday. (BUT HUGE TAX! haha)..

BUT i also realised Singapore still has its good, so I wont give up yet. Especially since my son is here, & if i dont see him at least once every 2 weeks, i suffer too much inside. So my 5year old son is the main reason, why i'm alive now & still struggling in spore.

ok.I better get ready for my interview now..dont want to be late!

thanks again guys.

Once, i was shortlisted over 300 candidates for a certain position. I was in the final 3 left..but alas, there was only 1 position to be filled & i lost it in the end..oh well..that made me shattered, but hey, thats life..i just tell myself, its ok.

last hope,

good luck! i believe you will make it as long as you still have the fire within.

it is only through such experiences can one learn to be humble and not be overly complacent about one's current good fortune. riches can come and go, just like that. besides how many of us have really lived the high life to behave like one. sometimes, its really perplexing to see average doe and joe, like you and me, in their little world.

One should have the 'immigrant mentality' in order to be able to adapt, survive and thrive in foreign land. The desire for success, determination and hunger for success. Most of all Asian immigrants possessed these qualities and have become successful. Good example are Chinese and Indians migrating to South East Asia, Down Under, Europe and USA. Do, dare and dream.

Hi again guys,
Thanks further for the well-wishes. I had a great interview session. 1stly I was pleasantly surprised that the COO herself called me up. I googled her name & discovered she is a very capable power-career woman. I was so nervous,but within 5mins, she revealed that she was just another friendly human. So I could express myself freely, & it went very well!

She immediately implied that she wanted to recruit me for the managerial position. She was in charge, but for the sake of the selection process, she will wait till end of week, & also when the MD(who's signing the paycheck) returns from overseas, to meet me to get final confirmation.

I feel really good & very positive. Everyone around me looks beautiful now suddenly. Hopefully I get this job. They are going to be so lucky because i'm bringing with me not just my talent & experience, but great work ethics & total effort on my part.

A bonus is they will pay me much more than I expected!

But even if by some sheer bad luck, the MD doesnt approve of me, i know i will be fine, eventually.
(BUT MY GOD...HOW I WANT THIS JOB SO BAD!!!)well, i hope by this time next week, i will be finally back in the game, moving upwards! The game of life!

last hope, I myself have worst experiences. Getting lower positions, lower pay even from GLCs despite having the right education and with sufficient experiences. There are always people who are much more worst than us so perseverance, never say die attitude and determination will land you your dream job. Always have an exit plan just in case if things don't work out your way. Good luck.

last hope, I'm actually excited to hear that! :-) Please keep us posted, would love to hear that you get that job.

All the best!!!

well, the COO called me as she said she would, asking me to drop by on Monday afternoon. I am the most nervous ever! This is a job which i feel so suited for as well, as for many other reasons. This job wil re-start my new life, but i know I cannot be too hopeful, I also have to prepare for the worst.

I have 3days to prepare myself. Just today alone, I have printed about 20pages to learn about the industry, products & company further.

Now its all about the MD liking me & finding me suitable.

I really need & want this job. This will be for my son, & even my ex, who actually needs more financial support from me. Plus I truly believe I will grow with this company.

Just an update for those who posted their well-wishes. thks guys...

Have an efficient and effective weekend preparing, last hope :-)

All the best, last hope.
