Of course it is hiring because it is not paying, it is a ownself look after yourself type of job.

They have 4 tiers right, only the top tier can choose and get the best fares

 

[Langrisser999]

Some jobs won't be posted. It's through word of mouth and internal referrals

or being reserve for their own people which is going to be import

400 applicants for one job, why is the govt not addressing this

what u want govt to do?

 

[SplinterWolf]

Actually they did. 2 days ago I was looking at MCF with my fren who is reskilling into Cyber Security. Most jods less than 5 applicants. Celery $4-6k. Not enough applicants. Many employers. I tell edmw to reskill in to cyber security. They laugh at me. So how?

The problem is, you want go into and can go into is different story.

You might want that $4-6k job, but the people there might not want you who have no prior experience. Most of the time these jobs post for fun one or either want pay that amount but want 6-10 years experience kind.

Not a lot of people will simply apply because they know it's not even worth clicking the apply button. The most you go interview is to help them hit local quota nia, end up tell you, you not suitable.

I look at any jobs on Jobstreet/Linkenin.
Every job has more than 100 applicants within a few days.
From CEO to general worker.

Meaning your likelihood of getting the job is probably less than 1%.

I think i anyhow put a job lowball $500 a month also maybe got people take.

100 only 10 is Singaporean and Pr. The rest of the applicants from outside sg or PR or wp ep etc

Dont think so easy.. reskill n $4 to 6k..

My cousin poly grad also reskill to cyber security and study and got a job. I asked him he say 3k plus only his salary. He is 30 yr old. He started the job with pay below $3k ...

He further complete a training in the company think around $3500 only.. He has been in the job for close to 2 yrs soon.

Who believe a people who just reskill can get a 4k to 6k job ? Total bs.

Friend in HR also tell me so .. ask sinkies for interview and make up the figure if MOM queries them why no put sinkie first. Can show have interview sinkies all not suitable, so can justify why wanna employ FT. can only say sinkies deserve it

If so easy to get $4-6k job just because go through a skillfuture upskill course, means all those people who study uni can jiak sai already for wasting their time studying for a useless cert?

If no one apply, and you got certifications, employers will not consider you?

See for yourself. First i searched. Didnt even go down the long list.

Have you hired someone before? Are you placed in a project management position before?

You will tell your boss:

"Sorry boss, only 1 person applied. He got required industry certifications but no experience. Please tell client to cancel their $2,000,000 order. We cannot deliver"

He don't kok your head and demote you, I chop.

 

[mistersoh]

Yes. it's very bad. and a lot of ghosting form employers.

when you become recruiter then you know...
- boomer think that the company MUST give singaporean the job, if not he go to his MP!
- PR will say you know who i am??? "i am pr"...
- Gen Z will say what your company cant even afford wifi in office... no i am not taking this backwards company job...
- and you get your last applicant CECA willing to work $2k job... den he say pls sir pls...

Millennials and Gen X/Y dont change job that often.. but everyday must hear **** from these 4 types...

It stated 2 yrs experience.. so how a person who just upgraded via skillsfuture apply vs a fresh IT grad who should be better skilled than a skillsfuture upgrade career change person ?

So this $3500 require a min 2 yrs experience which is what i quoted previously when my cousin also reskilled... got cybersecurity job below $3k undergoing training in company while working.. almost 2 yrs in company now then have close to $3500.

This is reality on the ground. Not the bs upgrade and reskill and instant 4k to 6k jobs waiting for sinkies. U need to build up the experience then can even meet the requirement for interview.
