Job Search Advice
My job search tip (that actually works for me): Always have a good reference 🤝 Some people keep saying “why no callback??” but maybe it’s bcz you didn’t list anyone who can really speak for your work ethic. I always list people I work closely with (not necessarily my boss). People who actually know how I work & can say nice things about me when companies call. So make sure you leave a good impression before leaving a job. Because a strong reference can speak louder than a resume sometimes.

Singapore Salary Gap
I passed the 1st interview and got called in for the 2nd round. Everything went REALLY WELL, and I got the job offer the next day. But of course, not every story has a happy ending. The salary... is not what I expected. Right now I’m talking with HR, not the boss. Should I directly negotiate my salary with the boss? Is it okay to ask for his contact from HR to discuss salary expectations personally? I believe HR is not gonna get me the numbers I want. If any, they only gonna reduce it 😒

It's only been 3 months since I join this company but I can't tahan being "used" by others and feel like I wanna quit my job. Can safely say I experience "extreme" culture shock here. Everyday I rush to deliver tasks bcz I'm helping 3 seniors, with tons of backlogs and I don't even learn anything new. I work like admin + assistant, instead of my original role. I only do stuff that's already been done by others, not contributing new ideas or anything exciting. This is not what I sign up for ☹️

Fresh grad here and this is my 1st full-time job. I’m an introverted, so I usually keep to myself & try to settle things on my own. But lately, I notice my boss been giving me silent treatment, and my colleagues have started to avoid me too. I feel like they’re indirectly asking me to quit. My boss says my work isn’t up to standard and that she’s given me “many chances.” I honestly don’t know how to fix myself. I don’t want to lose this job, but whatever I do is always wrong. Help me pls!!

Hello! My old company wants me back. Last year, they fired me due to "redundancy" but now they've come to their senses and realize that I'm an asset. So I would like to ask a few things before joining & wonder if these can be included in my contract: 1- 40% increment from my old salary 2- 6-month severance package if they laid my off again the 2nd time 3- Fixed yearly bonus, minimum 2months 4- Yearly increment, minimum 5% 5- Hybrid working arrangement. Pls don't assume I hold any grudge. Thanks!

Hello! I'm a fresh grad looking for resume tips. I already applied over 50 jobs but i heard back from none. it’s been a month+ & i’m slowly losing my mind. 🫠 i used famous resume template & followed all the tips all over the internet, but nothing. starting to think maybe my resume just blending in with the other 10,000 fresh grads out there. how do y’all make yours actually stand out? like fr, how do i make a recruiter STOP scrolling and say “ok this IS THE ONE”? pls help a struggling soul 🙃

Been at this company for over a year, and it’s been nothing but frustration. I suggested a process improvement, thinking I was being helpful, but my manager accused me of "challenging authority" & "talking back." I was pulled off the project and told my "performance" was lacking, with no clear feedback. When asked, my manager just said team "not happy with my attitude." Now I’m sidelined with no work, and HR’s ignoring me. Seriously considering moving on. Anyone else dealt with this nonsense?

Pls tell me if I'm making the biggest mistake of my life or if I'm on the right path. A fresh grad, 6 months jobless, finally got an offer. Salary SGD2.5k + 7days AL. The company is quite small, hence the salary but they promise that I'll surely learn a lot and gain good exposure from working there. My family says just take the offer & keep applying elsewhere for better opportunity. My GF says it's too little, not worth it, and that I should keep looking. I'm torn in between. Pls help.
