1700 is too low for a degree holder even without experience. You should request at least 2kyes thats right. now is employer's world, employer taking advanta...

how many ppl jobless now? i am a fresh degree graduate , jobless for 5-6mths, gone for quite a few interviews, always call me to wait for call. Gone for temp jobs still no reply from them. Is it really all companies want those who has experience? those no experience = jobless. Then no chance given how to get experience? there is always the first time to everything. All companies are like lazy to train their personnel. Where got so many experience ppl ard? Unemployment high, experience ppl rather stick to their jobs rather than hopping. Only if they are assured a higher pay job , confirm job, then they dare to hop.

Its the fault of the government for bringing in so many foreigners.

But don't despair. You can still apply for waiter, security guard, sales assistant job etc

Minister says singaporean workers need to be cheaper.

Fresh uni grad?

Try applying for croupier jobs at the casino. These are the kinds of jobs that will be created in the next few years.

Pay will be low but at least you won't starve.

I hope.

If you don't mind me adding some pointers to you post.

Experience is just an excuse. When an employer hires a person, he/she needs to ensure that if he pays you 2k, he can get back 2k or more worth of effort value out of that person.

Can you tell us you area of study during uni?

You forget to mention that can apply to be taxi driver, join the insurance or mlm industry too.

In nice term we call it doing your own business

You need experience too.

Try gaining your experience at some nightclubs or something.

I strongly believe you are local and grad locally....

Papers are saying to get ready for the next wave of retrenchments.

Like I said, the only sector that seems to be hiring are the casinoes.

Might want to get a job there to tide you through these tough times first.

As a graduate, you should be mapping out your career. If you have studied just for a job, then it will show during the interview.

This is a common malady of Singaporeans, as parents, government, and elders, instill into Singaporeans to study hard for a good job.

Amazingly our children are still not asked what they want to be when they grow up. They are just told to study hard and get good grades, else they won't get a good job.

Well now that you are a graduate, what? What do you want to be?

This is something that should have been thought out before you pursue your degree.

I don't know which nightclubs are hiring pole dancers leh

Hi Battlecrusier,

Have you ever considered other options such as being a teacher or signing on as a regular with SAF/Navy/RSAF?

Cheers.

How long can you allow this situation to carry on ?

How about doing something that pay you a basic of 2k plus plus

while you look for your ideal job

There is only 1 catch , you need to pass the M5 M9 examination

It is an exam conducted by the Singapore College of Insurance

These certificates will open up more doors for you in the Banking , Finance and

Insurance industry

For a degree holder , it will take you no more than 2 weeks to clear each exam

it cost about 100 over dollars to sit for each exam

you should pass with ease

I m hiring

Interested parties : can send your resume to the below address

[email protected]

Choice is yours , gd luck

Thank you for reading
