Strong profile local jobless, thousands of applications

[Fathor]

@focus1974, this dude is so washed he was asking what can Singapore do for him and he refuses to answer who did he vote for. We need to understand if he supported the policies that shaped what Singapore to what it is today.

Not shifting the message

 

[jq1986]

Notice how the 'story' is vague on all the details so no one can identify the individual and call him or her out - if he even exists

 

[searcher1]

65% supporter say yes & they still have jobs, they voted PAP for stability
Thats why pray hard that any retrenchment comes, they are the first to go

Thousands ? Assuming 5.5 years=286.786 weeks
Each week you send 10 resumes minimum and that’s 2,867 resumes out in total ?

I’ve been on the WSG programme for years, but they haven’t gotten me a single interview. I don’t own property, and without a salaried job, I can’t apply for a mortgage. With the cost of living so high

Just got the keys to an SBF flat from HDB as a first owner a few weeks ago. Completed in 2021, the 2-room flexi flat was vacant for 3 years before I got it in 2024, unusual for a mature estate and near-MRT flat.

I’m in my late 40s. Since 2020, I’ve sent out thousands of job applications. In six years, I only received one job offer — in 2023. I took it, worked hard, and was rated “exceeds expectations” in my performance review. Not long after, I was told I was on the retrenchment list. I resigned right before the official notice — to avoid the stigma and protect future chances.

I already had a strong and broad professional background when I left my permanent role at a globally prestigious firm to deepen and diversify my expertise further before 2020. I pursued a master’s degree in a different field at a top university, ranked #1 in its field worldwide, and graduated with distinction during the pandemic.

To stay connected and expand my network, I’ve been attending free public events. Often, more than half the people there were foreign professionals already working in Singapore. From what I observed, they didn’t have stronger profiles or wider capabilities than I do. Yet they had jobs. I didn’t.

I’ve been on the WSG programme for years, but they haven’t gotten me a single interview. I don’t own property, and without a salaried job, I can’t apply for a mortgage. With the cost of living so high, I’m now planning to relocate to a developing country — just to survive.

Imagine that — a highly qualified Singaporean, with a proven track record and wide-ranging skills, now has to leave the country he helped build because he can’t afford to live in it.

My great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, and I all contributed to building this nation. I served 2.5 years of full-time National Service, training and leading 60 combat personnel to protect this country throughout all my reservice duties.

So I ask honestly:
If even someone like me can’t survive here — what hope do older Singaporeans have? Can I now ask, what can this country do for us?

There is a saying: Masters / PhD cannot anyhow study. Cos if done wrongly, if could hurt ur career which I think it did in ur case.

None of the ppl I know leave a job to pursue Masters. They usually do part time Masters while still working at their job, and some is take scholarship with their company to fund the Masters, and they are bonded to company for few yrs, then after serving the bond, they jump. And they did it before 40.

For your case, ur Masters mean nothing to the employers. They just see an old uncle with a possibly irrelevant / useless Masters without the relevant skills but asking for sky high salary. That's y nobody offered you a job.

He did not understand my msg

for a supposedly Masters grad, he doesn't seem very bright

I highly doubt TS's credibility. Great-grandparents live in Singapore. and is in his late 40s?

Come on. I am a 3-gen Singaporean in my mid 40s. My grandfather was from China and had been in Singapore since 1930s until his demise. What is the possibility of his great grandparents living in Singapore?

Noob. He could be first child of first child. Last time people 19-20 procreate like crazy

Unfortunately you cannot be young again physically.

Being young mentally doesn't land you a job.

If you ever have the chance, go see how many people your age are waiting for bus to ferry them to work.

Anyway, best you go Skillsfuture, get a job so you can be part of the statistics

I came across this cv of a sinkie grad from nus, first few jobs quite decent but somehow later years kept getting not to good roles. Maybe partly luck, partly due to ageism cos companies rather go for younger cheaper workforce. Quite sad for that case actually.
