Funny lah how some companies advertise their job vacancies. "Entry-level" but "must have 2-3 years of experience". Are you being for real right now? How can these two paradoxical statements exist together in a job requirement? Entry-level means it's suitable for ALL candidates with or without job experience. You are supposed to teach new comers from scratch, and not expecting them to ALREADY know the way around. If you don't open doors for us fresh grads, how can we get experience?? Tell me!

inInterview tips

What kind of interview question is this 🫠 I spent 3 weeks prepping for my 1st corporate interview. I was so excited, covered all bases. I studied their company background, products, management, clients etc. But during the IV, they asked for a time I've led a cross-functional team. Huh?? I've never had a full-time job. What does that even mean?? How are grads supposed to answer experience-heavy questions like this? I answered as best as I can but dunno if that's gonna lead me to 2nd stage hmm

inFresh graduates

Tell me who is at fault. Is it me or HR?? Since graduated, I've applied over 200 jobs and only secured 4 interviews. As if that's not bad enough, I get only ONE job offer and that too, they're giving me lower than my expected salary. HR say, take it or leave it like I'm a 2nd or 3rd choice. 🫩 I tailor every application as much as I can, I always follow up after applying and keep improving my resume. I genuinely don't know what I'm doing wrong! Or is this just the way the market is rite now?

Considering everything is getting more expensive now due to whatever that's going on (urrgghh), I'm thinking of moving to JB but commuting daily to SG to work. Is this a wise decision or nah? Currently I'm working hybrid, only 2x at the office so I don't need to spend a lot for travelling. Food is definitely cheaper in JB and groceries too. I can rent a whole condo for the same price of a small room in Jurong. Family-wise, I don't need to see them often so that's a blessing. So, yes or no?

People think I’m lucky working in a family business. From the outside, it looks like I have everything. A high position, a “great” salary, nice clothes. But the reality is very different. My salary always comes last, and it’s even lower than my manager’s. It’s been 3 years, and I’m seriously thinking of leaving. The problem is… It’s family. Quitting = betrayal. But honestly, I can’t keep going like this. I’m not growing and I’m exhausted. Give me ideas on how I can leave peacefully. Please!

What do u do when the small company that ure working with decided ur role is redundant and decided to let u go. Issue here is 1, my direct boss did not even have a decency to call or text me n say it to me but decided to have another boss to text me instead. 2, told me official termination date will be back-dated. 3, im still waiting on HR to pass me my termination letter & also some claims I have as its still pending n have been chasing it for 3rd week now.

inSingapore salary gap

Can somebody share with me how to get $10k/month salary? I used to think $5k salary is enough to live comfortably in SG but nowadays I feel like $10k should be the norm. Looking at how slow my salary hike has been for the past few years, I think it's about time that I start to aggressively find ways to increase it. I understand job hopping could potentially get me there but how often can I hop in a year? Also, is asking 20% increment each move, is considered a lot or reasonable? Thanks!

Just don't understand..the market is so bad right now and Istg i'm so tired of job hunting but think about it , how are we supposed to get the "experience" if non of the company is willing to accept us? So how do you gain the experience tho?

inCV and resume advice

I’m curious why, during resume vetting or interviews, employers tend to focus so much on our educational background rather than our actual capabilities and experience in the field we’ve worked in. Some of us may have had poor grades in the past, but as we grow older and mature, we become wiser, more skilled, and more competent within our scope of work. Shouldn’t our experience, growth, and proven abilities matter just as much? if not more, than our academic results?
