Dear Gilbert,

I’m a 26-year-old local university arts degree holder with 3.5 years of working experience. I resigned from the public service about 2 months ago as I felt that there were not much learning opportunities and was too stagnant and bureaucratic. I was earning a comfortable salary of about $60k per annum but decided to quit without securing another job as I was confident of my abilities and experience.

Since my resignation, I have applied to close to 100 jobs in the private sector that are related to my degree and were invited to only 4-5 job interviews. Is this normal? Also, I have had no job offers so far even though my asking pay is about 50k per annum, which is more than 10% pay cut.

I have many graduate friends in similar scenarios where they are either working temporary/contract jobs, underpaid, or unsuccessful in seeking alternative employment despite having both relevant education and experience.

Many have resorted to becoming property/insurance agents or just signing on with the various uniformed groups where jobs are easier to get. Do we have too many graduates as a result of the blind paper chase and education system?

Are our jobs being taken by foreign talents? The future seems bleak for young Singaporeans.

Regards,
Jane

Yes I read recently, freelancer from Ukraine says she makes $5K on a bad week in our 1st world Sinkapore.

Who did this ex civil serpent vote for?

stupidity to quit your job before you have any replacement job already lined up. Nobody taught her that? She couldn't figure that out herself?

Thats why I say this is fake news from oppo

Is this for real? Which dumb fuck will spend time to write to botak Gilbert Goh for advice when botak himself is jobless and living off people's donations?

She should go stand at Orchard towers. Can earn at least 80k annually.

Typical Civil servant. They have higher then average salary, good Perks, bonuses. Till they step out of the real world. They find that all the news on the papers are bull shit.

To me is that they REALLY do believe their own shit.

she's lucky to be accepted into pubic service with local arts degree. and then she abandons it as though she's a hot shot. even in sillycon valley with too many jobs chasing too few grads, arts degree holders get dropped in the résumé rubbish bin without a 2nd look. she should craft her background, training, and experience as "data anal-ytics from an artistic perspective".

example: the monthly pattern of client visits to a geylang brothel. red denotes sinkie uncles and black denotes ah neh clientele.
