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 🙃

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.

What's the point of fresh grads median salary hits $4500 in 2025 when more of us REMAIN JOBLESS 6 months after leaving school?? Yes, we want decent salary but we also want MORE jobs vacancies provided for us. I don't mind earning less than $4.5k for my 1st job as long as i get a job within 3-4 months after graduating. The faster i secure a job, the faster I'll gain exposure & experience + the chances to increase my salary later on. Pls, give us more opportunities! Sincerely, i'm-8month-jobless

Fresh grad here, just joined this company 1 week ago & honestly REALLY shocked when I read my company’s manual book. EXAMPLES: If I take MC, they gonna cut my pay in half. Late 5 mins= $5 fine, 10 mins= $10, and IT INCREASES. Toilet break more than 10 mins will be flagged by HR. Also can’t use AL during notice period, must clear all leave before resigning. This is the 1st proper office job for me, so I’m a bit confused. Are these rules NORMAL in SG or am I in a red flag one?? Should i run?

Hi, I am expected to graduate in mid-July 2025. Over the past two months, I’ve been actively seeking job opportunities through this platform. However, I’ve rarely received responses. I’m unsure whether this is because I’m still a Malaysian student or maybe because I don’t have a work permit. Regardless, I remain eager to begin my career journey, especially in fields related to mechanical, aerospace, aviation, or manufacturing. I am ready to learn, contribute, and grow within a professional team.

Fresh out of uni, I took the first job offer I got – customer service at a random company, totally unrelated to my degree, with a salary that barely covered my Grab rides. At first, I hated it – long hours, angry customers, zero growth. But it taught me how to deal with people (and my emotions), which later helped me land a role I actually wanted. Lesson? Your first job might not be perfect, but it’s a stepping stone. Learn what you can, but don’t stay stuck.

So many people bashed me regarding my post on the poor attitude of my intern who wants to go home on time&doesnt take extra workload. Allow me to explain myself. 1) An intern SHOULD stay back&WAIT for their supervisor to finish work, to show dedication to the company. 2) Asking for extra tasks after completing your work is a sign of commitment, hard work & being proactive. 3) It is CRUCIAL to nurture youngsters on the importance of RESPECT towards seniors to humble them. Disagree? Fine by me.

Dunno why fresh grads nowadays are so daring AND demanding!! In my time, during interviews we never dare to ask for high salary, WFH arrangement, work-life balance, health benefits etc. You just take what the company give you lah. The fact that companies are willing to take you in is already a blessing you know? Now when I interview fresh grads the FIRST thing they ask is how much money will i get? 🤦‍♀️ Is MONEY the ONLY thing that matters?? I can't lah with this Gen Z attitude. So terrible!

GPA 2.8, zero work experience, no leadership roles or club activities during uni, and my resume is just one page 😬 But I still want to aim for a decent starting salary. Realistically, how do I make myself stand out to employers? Should I focus on building specific skills, getting certifications, or just wing it with confidence during interviews? Any fellow fresh grads who managed to negotiate a good salary despite a ‘basic’ profile? Share your tips, please! 🙌
