I accepted a verbal offer 2 week ago and no update at all ever since... Every time I ask HR, they just say, “Still processing.” Processing WHAT?! My anxiety?! I left my old job for this, now I’m terrified they’ll ghost me. Do I keep waiting? Chase them harder? Or start job hunting again before it’s too late?! Silly me for believing HR's sweet words (they sound SO CONVINCING THO??) I literally don’t know what to do except maybe retract my resignation letter 🥲 Should I?

I have 9 years of experience in hotel Food & Beverage service. I moved to Singapore for overseas exposure and worked at a Japanese restaurant for over a year. After being asked to resign, I have been actively seeking new opportunities. I am hardworking, reliable, and passionate about hospitality. I am eager to return to a hotel F&B role and contribute my skills, professionalism, and strong service standards.

Imagine working in a company where payroll dont know how to count salary properly and whenever salary is in, WE have to count our OWN salary and for any shortages need to report to HR? LOL And the fact that when they need help for replacement to work, they talk soooo nicely to you and when they dont need you. They just chuck you to the side. I really want to leave this workplace. Sick and tired

Been job hunting since last year, no single interview i got called. Almost 6 years working at same place and found out been underpaid than another branches make me feel more down with this situation. From lift and escalator industry make more difficult to get a new job. I regret with my decision to stay at same company as my ex colleague tender resignation earlier after 2 years working here. Now they got paid up more than 3 times from my current salary. The End

Red flags from the interviewer's perspective 🚩 - Not having specific examples to back up your experience - Not knowing that the company does - Changing expectations during the interview process - Not looking or dressing presentably - Not confirming the interview date/time Recruiters, any others that we missed?

Just sharing my experience. For companies who don't have enough budget to hire someone PERMANENTLY, please don't advertise your job as so and then suddenly change it to contract-based without informing the candidate first. Luckily I haven't signed anything. I went through all the process from start to end thinking that I'll be working as permanent staff after 3 months probation but apparently there's a slight "mistake" in the advertisement and now it's a contract job. Wasted my time seriously!

I am from India and am looking for jobs in Singapore. Now I am applying for jobs through this site. Is there anyone got interview calls from Singapore? Are they recruiting people from India nowadays?

As an interviewer, what question has ruined a perfectly solid interview of a candidate for you?

Hello, I am 23 this year and have just graduated with a business degree in SIM. I am currently looking for a job which can get me S Pass. However the minimum salary for a S Pass is $3.15 and I am not sure if I can get any offers. Any advice please.
