SINGAPORE: A woman who has been unemployed for over two years took to Reddit to seek advice on restarting her career.

Posting on the r/askSingapore subreddit on Tuesday (May 27), she wrote, “I have been unemployed for more than two years. My previous jobs were mainly in administration. I have a degree in sociology. And I have not been working due to personal reasons, which I prefer not to disclose.”

She also mentioned that although she has been actively trying to get back on her feet, such as sending out numerous job applications and taking up a digital marketing course through SkillsFuture in late 2023, none of them have panned out.

With her confidence waning and the job market remaining uncertain, she turned to the online community for support. “What should I do now?” she asked. “I heard the job market is really bad.”

“Take on any job that is available and don’t be choosy…”
Her post quickly drew responses from fellow Reddit users, many of whom related to her struggles. Some encouraged her to stay open to any kind of work, whether full-time or part-time, as a way to get back into the workforce, regain some confidence, and start building up her resume again.

One user suggested, “Just apply for jobs! The worst they can do is ghost you or say no. Keep an Excel sheet of where you applied and what you sent for your resume/CV.

During interviews, when asked about your gap, share your digital marketing course and any other self-improvement things you did. There are always jobs, just whether it fits your expectations or not.”

Another commented, “The job market is usually bad, and I don’t foresee it going better. Have to just try and apply. Upskill and apply; even internships are also good.”

A third added, “Take on any job that is available and don’t be choosy. Approach employment agencies. They tend to have jobs of various natures but are in industrial estates. Some pay market rates. SkillsFuture courses are meant to complement or add to your existing skill sets to make you more competitive in the industry. They are not courses that you take and can straightaway enter that industry.”

In other news, a troubled worker took to social media to share how his demanding job has pushed him to the brink, causing him to develop anxiety just from the thought of going to work.

“I started to develop anxiety even to go to work. It’s almost like I don’t even have time to breathe once I step into the office,” he wrote in a post on r/askSingapore.

The worker shared that in recent months, several of his colleagues have quit, and with no new hires brought in to replace them, the remaining team has been forced to take on the extra workload.

Can she do onlyfans?

There are 650,000 CECAs in S'pore. The govt wants them to take up PR and eventually citizenship so will offer them PME jobs, and dangle another carrot called called exemption from NS. So who gets sacrificed in the process? True blue SG citizens, including the clueless 65% who voted for this.

Can she do onlyfans?

Can she change the Nationality to India? Then much more easier to get higher pay jobs under CECA agreement

As I live in Dunearn Road, I take nightly walks and notice that there are many CECAs renting condos along that stretch of road. Why are these foreigners enjoying the good life in SG while local university grads struggle to find gainful employment and older PMEs end up doing gig work after being laid off and replaced by CECAs?

If u can't get a job in Singapore as a Singaporean,then Singapore is NOT your country anymore.

 

[sbfuncle]

And I have not been working due to personal reasons, which I prefer not to disclose.”

I think the Lee son she cannot find a job should have something to do with this.
Having some personality issue.
There is nothing in this world that cannot be disclosed for not been working.
Lazy just say lazy

Did ahe hear whistling intermittently?

If so, she need medical help at IMH

If she chose not to work for personal reasons…maybe it is these “personal reasons” that fuck her back

This is precisely the reason why our NSF and NSmen keep asking who exactly are they defending.

SkillsFuture prepares SG white collar workers for a life of underemployment or continued unemployment.

 

[Sikodolaukazzz]

But vast majority voted for the PAP
So they must all be happy with the Cecas

But the poor woman -- hopefully she gets a good job soon.
Can she become a teacher?

 

[VanDick]

Just tell her to go sell her pussy. Or pick up some massage skills, so she can be a masseuse and give happy endings at the same time.

SkillsFuture prepares SG white collar workers for a life of underemployment or continued unemployment.

We need to make ourselves prepare since we are entering Five Zero Era, we only have 15 yrs more to work, there is very limited headroom to fleece

But XXM and XXR are different, they are fresh and easily Tio Xian, many have good 30-40yrs of working life,,,can committed very long and oversized bank loan based on assumption your salary will only sky rocket for next 30-40yrs**

**result may varies in different loan applicant

 

[laksaboy]

Skillsfuture is for creating business opportunities for the PAP regime's education industry cronies.

It's not about improving your employment chances.

Until daft Sinkies stop seeing a government, especially this one, as some kind of benevolent parent figure who is always looking out for your best interests, this delusion will persist.

Age and looks are very important, and she mentioned nothing.

She has a degree in sociology, and that puts her in a competition pool with people who have similar qualifications. It does not set her apart from the rest in the same competition pool. In other words, it's a prerequisite, not an advantage.

If she is up against a SYT with a poly diploma, a teeko interviewer will kick her aside. If the interviewer is a lady, then a young man with John Lone looks will beat her to puppies.

A short skirt and a tight blouse work miracles
