Serious Swee Mei Mei New Nightlife.

Just a few months ago, the 26-year-old, who is covered in tattoos, lived a completely different life. Never would she have fathomed that her days would be spent between void deck wakes and the quiet atmosphere of Lim Chu Kang. Instead, she was busy working in the nightlife industry, entertaining clients and drinking on a daily basis.
So how did she get here?
Eve needs a moment to retrace her steps before answering.
“I’ve always been attracted to the funeral industry,” she begins. “But after 7 years, I never thought I’d leave my career in nightlife. I thought I would always do that.”
After losing her job, Eve was pushed far from her expected personal trajectory, something many others may be experiencing now as well. As if it wasn’t hard enough to get a job in a time like this, Eve had an added challenge—her tattoos were met with disdain from multiple employers in different industries.
“There was one particular company that wanted to hire me, so they sent over all the final documents,” she recalled. “But when I mentioned I had quite a number of tattoos, they ghosted me. I never heard from them again.”
To her surprise, it was the funeral industry that was the most welcoming. At the interview with Harmony Funerals, where she has worked at since April, Eve was worried about showing her boss her tattoos. When she eventually did, her boss gasped. But this wasn’t a sign of disdain. She was just intrigued.
She proceeded to ask Eve about her tattoos, and then offered her a job.

“It was so tough to adapt at the start because you can get called at any time of the night to go to work,” she says.
“Now, at 2AM I can get called down to a family’s home. I have to dress up and comfort them. I’m still half asleep but I need to console the family and deal with the body.”
Beyond the working hours, Eve struggled to get used to the exposure to cadavers.
“On the first day of work, I had to dress a deceased body,” she shares, still astounded by the experience. “I was so shocked, I wasn’t expecting to touch a dead body.”

KNN my uncle wonder what is the career path for night life and what job in sg belongs to this category of entertaining clients and drinking KNN
Dude,
She once worked in night entertainment.
Now, night FUNERAL industry.
Last line : she has to dress a deceased body.
KNN my uncle also wonder why she needs to inform the employer about having tattoo KNN
Those companies are more concerned about their image.
(not your skills or experience!!).
KNN is night entertainment means ktv girls ? KNN in sg is there such a position of night entertainment that is a career? KNN
Even is expose my uncle don't see a need for her to inform the employer lor KNN she can pass the interview means that day she didn't exposed it KNN
In Singapore, as long as you pay taxes?, I think.
My uncle think on the other hand the tattoo might have helped her to gain employment into the funeral industry KNN my uncle think usually they won't hire normal people to prevent wasting time for training etc KNN suitable candidates will need to have something unusual as a advantage KNN best is have a corpse face aka si lang bin KNN
I'm going to bite this one.
Funeral supervisors/directors (frontline) are made up of a lot of foreigners (WP and S-passes). The reason is that Sinkies do not want to join this business due to:
1. long hours,
2. Loss of face amongst friends and relatives.
Singaporeans in the funeral business are usually supporting back end or sales. The younger generation sinkies who are in the business are inheriting it from their parents or have stuck out on their own after gaining invaluable contacts (especially among the embalmers, priests and monks) after 2 or 3 years.
How do i know? I used to work in the funeral industry for a while but gave it up due to the long hours.
Frankly, she is quite Swee.
Due to Covid, entertainment industry, including Geylang, all very badly affected.
No business.
So, all these ladies got family to feed.
By the way, which nightclub or KTV your Uncle patronise?
Can recommend as Phase 3 coming.
KUMSIA.
