'how long it took you to get a job after losing your previous one... any advice to keep myself from spiralling downwards?” he asked
SINGAPORE: Disappointed by the hurdles to finding employment, a job hunter took to social media to ask Singaporeans how long it took them to land a job.
In the discussion thread, one Singaporean Redditor shared that he spent 10-11 months searching for a job, submitting about 100 job applications, and attending 3 interviews. A third Redditor recounted a faster job search experience, writing, “Mine took a month, then again my role is not exactly senior and its pretty niche.
Other suggestions from the online community included improving the resume and cover letter, networking with friends, family, and professional contacts, attending free networking events hosted by business organizations, staying informed about current affairs and industry news, and creating a daily routine that includes exercise, meals, job search time, and relaxation activities such as visiting museums.
