Time to revamp your resume & shoot them abroad. Many companies abroad are in favour of hiring Sg for their FT pool. Emerging countries like China, India, Russia have potential to recruit despite the economic downturn, so start searching. Good luck!

hello everyone,

i'm 34 years old and about to be out of job soon within the next 3 months. next 12 to 24 months is expected to be tough with companies retrenching and freezing their headcount so i'm mentally preparing myself to become a long-term unemployed.

needed an outlet for my frustrations so came here to post. wish me luck everyone!

How can be jobless? The Sands already hiring. Sinkee goverment already anticipated people like you to loose their jobs around thie period. That is why they earn the buku dollars.

Upgrade here, upgrade there but what actually to upgrade? That is the question? Your reply belongs to the thread "Asians are suckers"

Study so hard to become a dish washer? Work is not about money alone but personal satisfaction.

half my local frens are either unemployed or self-employed. I wonder how the self-employed ones get by.

recently u can see many opposition candidates call themselves self-employed as well.

the only sweet market is for those in their 20s.

although I'm employed now, I'm taking steps to keep my skills shipshape and trying to get some side revenue started which will hopefully develop to a business.

also renovating my flat in view that I can rent out the master room at any time.

Noone owes me a living, just trying to get by.

I maintain a decent linkedin profile, it will become more useful in the future.

Earning a living is not that hard if we understand the demand and supply of our domain and position ourselves accordingly.

Meanwhile using tools such as RSS feeds inside google reader to efficiently aggregate and browse jobs and spot the ones that fit us, or keep tabs on the current market out there, relevant companies to keep an eye on etc.

the meetup site has some active groups for local entrepreneurs and other interest-related groups, good place to attend events and know people.
