Are you an unemployed Singaporean just trying to make it by in
this crummy time.
Do you stay up late at night only to enjoy the hum from your
computer fan.
Do you struggle to get up every morning because the sun shines
in and puts you in the unemployed spotlight.
Does your cell phone ring only to reveal a foreign voice trying
to sell you Wine Futures, Yoga Membership or yet another Credit
Line you really don't want anything to do with?
Do you sigh a relief on Friday because the rest of working
Singapore also has a reason to wind down like you?
Does the local newspapers just make you want to puke with
disgust about yet more bad news and retrenchments and belt
tightening?
Why is it when you look through and apply for ads through head
hunters you never get picked or shortlisted? Most don't even
bother to reply.
How come there are so many postings for the same job spec and no
mention of the company?
Everyone seems to be a headhunter today and they are mostly
expatriate as well...are we missing something?
Why does it seem I am still out of a job even though I have a
just as good a degree and probably worked for more years and worked
harder than most visitors who will come and go?
How come there is a distinction between Expat Condo and HDB
Upgrader Condo, what is the difference? (in case you did not know,
99 year condo's are the later and lesser variety).
Like you I wonder everyday for the last 5 months now. If
there is anyone out there feeling just a little miffed, do
tell.
