Some said they sent out hundreds of applications only to be called for 3-4 job interviews.
SINGAPORE: Ever wondered how many CVs and job applications it takes to land a job in Singapore? Well, local employees have finally spilled the tea on Reddit, revealing how they endured weeks—or sometimes even months—of sending out X number of applications before finally securing a role.
The thread quickly became a space for sharing job-hunting woes, with many users disclosing the number of applications they sent and the length of their unemployment period. A third Redditor shared a different but equally intense experience. During the pandemic, when the job market was particularly tough, she committed herself to sending out at least three job applications per day. Her dedication and persistence paid off eventually, but only after she had sent out over 100 applications.
