Singaporeans Choosy Over Jobs? You Are Not Alone…
Jun 7, 2008 Life, Singapore, Work
We often heard that many Singaporeans remain jobless because they are choosy. They are not willing to take up jobs with lower pay, or workplace that are faraway from home, or without nice titles. Or their salary demand just freak out potential employers. But it seems like they are not alone now:
KUANTAN: There are 8,418 unemployed youths in Pahang and one of the reasons for this is because they are too choosy.
State Youth and Sports Committee chairman Datuk Wan Adnan Wan Mamat said the other reasons were that youths were unwilling to work away from their hometowns and having to compete in a highly aggressive labour market.
Familiar?
I myself have gone through a long period of time without job. I can understand how it feel being jobless, and the reasons rejecting job offers. It can be very complicated. But whatever it is, be practical and realistic. Remember that when we are choosing the companies, we are being chosen as well.
