He sent 100 applications, but can't find a job

[virtualchick]

He can apply for dealer position in MBS and RWS. MBS is an equal opportunity employer.

My mum also found a job. First job as a cleaner, now as a waitress.

A freelance cleaner can earn $50 per session, each session four hours. Working a full five day week, can earn at least $2000.

Jobs are everywhere. Taxi driver also can earn quite decent. About $2K, based on MOM working hours.

 

[xebay11]

How about plumber? Toilet choke, go in come out, minimum $80, 10 minute job. If go in high-end private home, make sure no $200, don't come out, cook up all sorts of excuses to justify that amount. 1 day can do at least 8-10 jobs, can earn $10-$30k pm easily.

Lianhe Wanbao reported that Mr Zeng Yong Guang, 41, studied part-time for six and a half years to get his degree from a private university in Singapore.

Which university in Singapore is consider a private university? If their degree is not recognize, does it mean our government is not doing it's job and indirectly allows degree mills to operate out of Singapore?

Secondly, the average full time IT degree is 3 years, so, if I can get a part time degree in 3 years, why border to do full time? Don't see anything wrong with part time having twice the length of full time course, unless it is watered down and thus pretty useless?

So, again why does it be allowed to offer in the first place, where is the watch dog?

Many people misses the point here, he can afford to spend that kind of money to chase for a piece of paper, in the hope that it would better his life, and spending that amount of money, where he can save, to make a living, raise a child; is like chasing after the wind.

One thing is very clear, the part time degree is not cheap & spending that money, he could just save it, start his own business & start a family.

This guy obviously had been poisoned by the MIW's upgrading mantra, and found himself in hell, instead of the heaven as envisoned by the mantra.

It is real sad!:p

Nah ... but just tell them that just because they managed to get a 2-bit degree instead of a real one, they shouldn't yayapapaya expect to receive the pay that their real degree peers took 6 years working as a graduate to reach. No, no, no, Mr Zeng, your years as a technician doesn't count when you want to apply for a degree level job.

Have upgrading benefited many people, I have worked with many who at 30 plus UPGRADED themselves, how many benefitted from it, despite spending their hard earn money on loans, their time plus family time, not many, out of 10, one!

Eventually, at that age they get UPGRADED, they go job hunting, their are many, many FT's who are cheaper, better & faster than them.

These upgraders become what in Cantonese we say " Law dai chan" ( the oranges at the bottom of the barrels)

I am not against upgrading...what benefit?

It is like you can get a CASIO WATCH which is affordable with multi function, why would you want to upgrade to a ROLEX WATCH? They reality is, one must be able to multi tasked to survive, and acquiring that doesn't need the quest for more paper qualification, but withe one hands & brain.

Nei yow upppp mutt foong ??

More likely the case. What we always hear from the MSM are

Upgrade, re-training, upgrade, re-training, red-hot economy, not enough workers etc...

The reality is, it causes miseries with these group of people believing into the media, ending up losing a big chunk of their time and saving or worse, borrow from banks and ending up in debts, with no job.

He looks and seems like a PRC turned citizen. Nonetheless, now that he is one of us, I feel sorry for him. He should be driving taxis cos he can easily make 1.5k driving cabs. Somemore got car to ferry wife + baby.

I have a colleague, who did just like that, he was so miserable, family suffered, we as friends, countryman & colleagues, could only help what we could.

It took him years to pay back the loan, did not get the 'shangri la' he envisoned, & at the expense of his family who suffered with him. He worked hard with his hands, taking two jobs & whatever part time to elk out the income he needed. In the end that hard work pays off better than his quest for a degree, in which he never found employment at his age...around 40 same as the Zeng guy.

He is much stable now, never found work with his degree, which he slog with his blood sweat & money. You mention the word upgrade to him, he will sprout obscenity, which will make any sailor proud.

Of course, the MIW's will pull of a few STAR SAMPLES to proof that upgrading does wonders for them, believe at your own peril!

His wife didn't just "get" pregnant. He fucked her and made her pregnant.

Knowing that he was jobless, the prudent thing to do would be to use some form of birth control. However, his devil-may-care attitude made a dire situation even worse....

It's pretty obvious this twit is incapable of rational thought. I wouldn't hire him either.

You should be given an infraction for insulting someone's loved one. It is as if your father never get your mother pregnant.

Very good point. Problem with people here are that they will not be responsible for their own lives and actions.

You should hire him to wash test-tubes, oops, I mean vacuum your servers.

The Woes of the After-Forties Graduates

The Woes of the After-Forties Graduates (translated)
September 22nd, 2010 | Author: Online Press



* from Lianhe Wanbao (19 Sep 2010, Sunday) by AE86

<--- http://www.temasekreview.com/2010/09/22/the-woes-of-the-after-forties-graduates-translated/

Having obtained a Bachelor’s degree after six years of part-time study, all the 100 job applications sent out had sunk deep into the ocean.

A degree holder in Science, Mr Zeng Yongguang, 41, said,

“I quitted my IT support position in April and have been actively hunting for another job for six months.

The results are discouraging.”

Yongguang and his wife resides in Sengkang. His wife is four months pregnant. Half a year has passed and he is still jobless. He is at a lost. Meanwhile, life gets by from his wife’s $1500 pm as a clerical officer.

“I thought with a degree it is easier to get a job. Hence I signed up UniSIM’s night course in 2002 and studied there for six years. I graduated in 2008.”

“In this half-year period, I emailed and mailed a hundred resumes to IT companies, requesting for $3000 pm. I did not get a single chance of an interview.”

Six months without income has forced Yongguang to pawn his watch and the ring which he gave his wife in exchange for a thousand dollars to settle his PUB and other miscellaneous fees.

He is not a demanding person. He just wants a job – a stable income to support his family.

In order to get a job as a waiter, he even lowered his demands by not disclosing his qualifications. Still, he was rejected.

He said, “To make ends meet, I can work on anything, so I tell them I am an O-Level grad.”

“The restaurant manager asked me if I had any experiences; the KTV manager asked me if I could hold liquor well. I shook my head. They turned me down without even wanting to let me learn from scratch.”

Zeng Yongguang did a self analysis. With the tight competitiveness right now, all bosses tend towards younger, lower-paid, and higher-educated talents. He confesses that he is much older in age and this will set him in a disadvantage. However, he stresses that he is hardworking, willing to learn, and adamant. He hopes that the bosses out there will give him a chance.

His wife had wanted to abort their child as she is worried that they would not be able to raise their baby.

“We are almost quarreling every week for the past six months. She blames me for being useless, complaining that I am not resolute and aggressive enough in my job hunting.”

They have been married for twelve years and have all along been lovey dovey. At 35 she became pregnant, which should be a happy matter, but all are now in a mess since his unemployment.

At the moment, he has persuaded his wife not to abort the child. He hopes to find a job as soon as possible and save enough money for milk powder for the arrival of their first child.

Re: The Woes of the After-Forties Graduates

Key reasons why he is unemployed

1) He's very ugly
you want an ugly employee to spoil the environment of your office?
He looks so ugly that every interviewer feel repulsed by his ugly looks. Can't he go for some surgery to make himself look presentable? You want an ugly fucker representing your IT company?

2) He took 6 years to complete his degree.
he has a very low intelligence or poor work ethnics.
For some fucker who took 6.5years to complete a 2 year program (normally for private degree), you can tell this fuck face has the intelligence that is half of a normal guy

3) He has no relevant IT experience but want a 3k job in IT
this retard was a computer technician hoping to get a ride to become a IT manager through his 6.5 yeas degree program
he think he is bill gates because of his degree. what a fucktard.

4) He has very poor planning skills
got wife pregnant while jobless, quit job before he got another
if u put him in a project, he will mess up the schedule

5) Experience:
His previous experience as a computer technician is totally different to the demands of IT professional job.
He has 0 IT experience other than stealing porno from his client's computer
Can he write a program? I doubt so from his fuck face.

6) He has no potential to be developed as an IT talent
Companies don't only recruit to fill positions. Companies also want this person to be able to shine and contribute.
This fuckface has the potential of a piece of shit. He is just good at doing menial tasks like clicking his dell keyboard and masturbating at the same time.
Why waste time and $ on such a piece of shit?

In short he is just another retarded fucker that is a burden to the society.

 

[dysentry]

without real skills, one can only rely on connections and looks

 

[BuiKia]

simply put it, Poor Planning.

Mr Zeng is obviously not too smart. Why did he go to the papers? Now all potential employers know about this Mr Zeng who resort going to the papers in the hope to gain some sympathy from the public and hopefully get some job offers.

This obviously backfire. No employers will want to hire someone who has the potetial to seek media attention for a problem which I feel he can better solve himself.

Mr Zeng, if you are reading this. My advice for you is to read through all the posts in this topic. Some comments may sound negative, but these are cold facts. it is for your own good that you find a way to solve your own livelihood problems.

The young in Singapore after completing their tertiary studies are supposed to get a job and get some working experience. But after couple of months working, they start telling you, I am tired of my job, sick of it, no prospects, I think I want go back to school and study and get a degree.

So after they get a degree, they come out and work again, another year or so, they tell you, I am tired of my job, sick of it, no prospects, I think I want go back to school and study and get a doctorate.

So after they get a doctorate, they come out and work again, another 2 years, they tell you, I am tired of this industry, no prospects, I should have pursued my real interests...... And here we go again. ......


Don't laugh, its not the job that sucks. It's the young who are too comfortable in studying till their brains are fried and think that life is all about studying and schooling

Totally Agreed !!!

 

[toolanliao]

maybe he is in the wrong trade? IT is one of the worse profession, any ah nehs, pinoys and ah tiongs can claim they are good. many it manager also goondu goondu one, never really catch up with changes, almost always hire the wrong guys.

but 3k is not really unachievable. he probably can't talk well or don't have enough know how. maybe doing some dead end technician level job all these while.
