I Was Retrenched At 26 Years Old And I Have No Savings

[Voldermort]

I am a 26 year old female and was retrenched in November 2020. It was an immediate termination. I was then an office manager/executive assistant earning $3,800 a month.

You think retrenchment only happens to people in their mid-40s and 50s, right? You’re wrong. I was let go three months into my new job in 2020, after being unemployed for almost a year. As of today, I have a grand total of $0 in my bank account, and this is how I’m coping.

Job hunting in during the COVID-19 pandemic was extremely tough​

​

Before I get to my retrenchment, here’s a little backstory: I resigned from my previous full-time job in December 2019 to travel. I managed to tour Spain for the whole of January 2020, but COVID-19 happened and I had to cut my plans short.


Once I was back in Singapore, I knew I had to secure a job. I sent out hundreds of applications, but only heard back from two companies.


One offered me a position, but the pay was so low that I rejected it. I understand that it is natural for unemployed folks desperate for income to just grab any opportunity and accept the first job that comes their way. But I believe that doing such a thing will result in you bouncing from one demoralising, short-lived job after another.


Fortunately, an interview with another company (let’s call it Company A) in February had some progress. It wasn’t easy getting this job as I had to go through a total of five interviews.


Soon after, I finally signed a contract with them, securing a role as an office manager/executive assistant.


Unfortunately, I was slated to start only in September as that was when my role required me to be physically present in the office.


That meant I’m still jobless until September, so I had to find a way to supplement my income during this period.

Ownself pawn ownself. No money in bank and talk cock about bouncing from one job to another if she had accepted. This means this one not yet poor to the point of starving. Confirm is leeching on parents.

There were lots of opportunities to work as Grab delivery serf or as an ambassador. Both roles provide nice uniforms with prominent colours.

26yo is still very young. Lots of job opportunities in KTV.

She can always open an only fans account. Nothing is impossible with today's apps technology.

Exactly. While she was waiting for the job in office, she can do food delivery to earn some immediate cash for food and expenses.

Go to see NTUC Chief Ng Chee Meng.

With global recession looming in 2yrs time, she best secure a job now. Low pay is better than no pay, upgrade her skills, start networking now & entrench herself as a valued member of company within 2 yrs to prevent herself from another retrenchment to come.

Nations that will best ride out recession - self sufficient ones - USA, AUS & collective ones - EU, ASEAN.

As they produce staples, they will prosper, & to prevent stagflation, they will lower costs eventually

Trades that will ride out recession

Advertising & its supply chains - media, event mgmt, promotional materials

Logistics - although trade volumes will be lower, staples are still needed daily by non self sufficient nations

Medcare & its supply chains

HR - those with a degree in Anthropology - study of human social behavoir & environments will make the best HR managers, required by every company for full functionality

Computer programming & analysts. The limit of such tech had not been reached yet to elevate & enhance tech applications to assist Humanity

Solid State Hydrogen fuel cells & storage. Such will be the fuel of future that will be used even for airplanes to replace fossil fuels

Such are only a few of many trades that can survive recessions to join for better salary & career development.

Good luck.
