Jobless PMET disappointed with WSG’s career coach who recommends a cleaner job

Dear Panel (REACH),
Thank you for the referral to WSG which is actually futile.
I concluded the appointment with a Mr Cheng (Senior Career Coach) feeling more discouraged and distressed than before the meeting.
The coach is extremely sarcastic and apathetic towards my situation and asked if I actually wanted a job or career, if my skills is on par with others (foreigners)? He further said a toilet cleaner is also a job and he can provide me if I wanted it!
He ended by telling me to think things through if I want a job or career and provided me with their template resume. A career according to the Coach is a Lifelong commitment until death. WSG later called telling me that the Panel has made a wrong referral to Lifelong Learning Institute as they’re not the right agency to assist with job search.
I wonder if foreign talents have to go through the same insults and grilling when easily locating a job here? Through this incident, I realise the whole Singapore system is a sham! From the Elections, to the inadequate Social Safety Nets, to the PAP appointed Judges right down to the Wayang Politicians. I have not seen either Denise Phua or Adrian Sim at my area again after the last elections.
I really do not know what the future is for youngsters like myself and if our elders still believe in the government’s lack of vision for the country post-LKY?
Yours faithfully,
H W Ang
