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.
#2
Still got security guard and cleaner job with pwm so no worry

Some ppl explained before. Out of 100, many are not even from sg
#4
More good times ahead....
#5
Those are the people who have debts such as high housing loans, no choice need to work low wage to survive in sg. Its by design by sg govt system to ensure workers keep working even after retrenchment
#6

If job requirement PR and citizen, likely will be both as they need to get locals to hit the quota

$500 enough to cover public transport only. Why would anyone accept?
#9
The market is really terrible right now.
If you have a job, try to hold on as long as possible.
Try not to leave unless you have secured another job.
Especially if you have a family and kids.
#10
Dear all,
Can someone offer me an employment opportunity?
Confidence for the future. More good years ahead... Let us take Singapore forward together.
Thank you.
#11
My friend applied few hundred jobs eventually settled for contract position cos no takers. If not fussy, jobs are still available

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?

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?

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.

Those are the people who have debts such as high housing loans, no choice need to work low wage to survive in sg. Its by design by sg govt system to ensure workers keep working even after retrenchment

If job requirement PR and citizen, likely will be both as they need to get locals to hit the quota

\$500 enough to cover public transport only. Why would anyone accept?

The market is really terrible right now.
If you have a job, try to hold on as long as possible.
Try not to leave unless you have secured another job.
Especially if you have a family and kids.
