I quit my previous job and regretted it. I thought it was bad, but now I'm in a worse situation. 😢 Again, I found myself in between quitting or staying. I've been trying to give my best since day one, but after 1 year at this new place, I realize I'm just causing more nuisance to my team. At 1st everyone was so helpful, but now nobody speaks to me unless it's work related. and that too, in a cold manner bcz they know I'm not fit for the job. What should I do? Do I keep trying or let go?

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.

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 😒

Sometimes I wonder if it's just how things are in Singapore where people with stable jobs are celebrated, and those like me - freelancers/part-timers are seen as “wasting time” and often look down on. My brother has a great corporate job. Me on the other hand enjoy the freedom & flexibility with no one to answer to. But my family thinks I'm a disappointment at 26 years old, with no future ahead. Am I really wrong for wanting something different? Why can't we just respect all kinds of jobs?

Dear All, I recently got a job offer, already signed and submitted the offer letter. There was an issue of applying EP because the company didn't advertise the job ads on government's website so they repost the ads and it requires 14 days before they can apply for my pass. Another worse case, they are having surplus staff. Currently they have a 1month+ pending EP application and if its come out successful, they need to withdrawn my application. Now im still waiting for the result.

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!!

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.
