Failed too many interviews? Here's 3 tips that help me nailed the "tell me about yourself" question: 1️⃣I kick things off with a quick summary of my work journey. Only the parts that make sense for the role. 2️⃣Then I casually sneak in a personal interest (I use strategy games) to flex soft skills like focus & problem-solving. 3️⃣Keep it under 8 mins and let it flow like a story, not like reciting back my resume. Trust me, once I did this, interviews started feeling like actual conversations🫰

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.

inSingapore 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 😒

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?

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.
