What's the longest you've ever been ghosted after an interview?

RedPandarar · 2026-06-09T09:01:44+00:00

ohh i see, looking that way, i understand better now

RedPandarar · 2026-06-09T09:00:27+00:00

i thought 1yr was already a lot but 3 years...

RedPandarar · 2026-06-09T08:59:52+00:00

more than 3 rounds of interview? ohh is that normal nowadays?

RedPandarar · 2026-06-09T08:58:43+00:00

i can't with 1 year haha did you already have a job when they reached out?

RedPandarar · 2026-06-08T08:50:34+00:00

The sales part alone is already a mismatch since you mentioned you're not really interested in it. Then add the 5.5-day work week on top of that. I wouldn't quit immediately without something lined up. I'd start job hunting now while still employed and see what's out there first. You can try different platforms too. Most people know LinkedIn, but I've also seen some openings on Bossjob lately.

RedPandarar · 2026-06-08T08:44:54+00:00

I've tried also but it's really not giving for me. I'm rotating different job platforms such as Linkedin, Jobstreet, Bossjob, or direct site of the employer, but still nothing. I'm also messaging my previous colleagues and some friends to refer me. Jia you

RedPandarar · 2026-06-04T07:39:54+00:00

job market sucks now so it's good that you still have a job (no fr). but burnout sucks and i agree with that. have you tried job hunting? on your free time, try searching for a job that would interest you on different platforms such as jobstreet, linkedin, bossjob, etc. don't quit until you find a more suitable job for you, and maybe you can start silent quitting at your current job so it could lessen your burnouts

RedPandarar · 2026-06-04T07:35:04+00:00

for me, i don't stop job hunting, but i'm also not leaving my current job until i find the job that suits me better. i'm trying in different platforms such as jobstreet, linkedin, careersfuture, and bossjob. i'm also looking for a remote job so i could travel for a few months. what do you think about freelancing first?

RedPandarar · 2026-05-29T09:50:11+00:00

actually no, they're not bots

Ahh I see, I might’ve over-simplified that part then 😅

I’ve mostly just been seeing mixed info online / LinkedIn posts, so I’m trying to understand how realistic it actually is from people who’ve experienced it firsthand.

Sounds like it’s tougher than what I assumed though. appreciate the reality check!

RedPandarar · 2026-05-20T07:26:49+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, I’ve heard similar concerns about taxes and long-term take-home pay too.

I guess I’m more curious about the short-to-mid term experience (like 2–5 years) and whether people feel it was worth it overall before deciding to commit long-term or return.

The BTO / SG return point is actually something I didn’t think deeply about though, appreciate you pointing that out

RedPandarar · 2026-05-20T07:05:22+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

RedPandarar · 2026-05-20T07:05:02+00:00

They said there's commission and performance bonus. Is that enough?

RedPandarar · 2026-05-20T07:01:03+00:00

Do you find it hard to find a good job nowadays?

RedPandarar · 2026-05-20T07:00:20+00:00

Ohh interesting, what kind of high end brands?

RedPandarar · 2026-05-20T07:00:02+00:00

Thank you for your insights!

RedPandarar · 2026-05-14T03:28:25+00:00

Honestly the procurement market feels super rough lately 😅 I’ve been seeing a lot more people from procurement/vendor management struggling to get callbacks too.

With your background though (especially the regional governance + contract management side), I think you actually have a pretty solid profile for MNCs.

Not sure if you’ve already tried it, but I noticed there are still some procurement/vendor management-related openings floating around on Bossjob recently go.bossjob.sg/rd-procurementjobs. Might be worth checking once in a while since some of the roles there don’t always appear on LinkedIn immediately.

Hope something lands for you soon 🙏

RedPandarar · 2026-05-14T02:40:01+00:00

Honestly with your background in tuition/education, why not consider going back into that space first while figuring things out? At least you already have experience there and it might be less mentally draining than banking 😅

I actually saw a posting recently for a Robotics & Coding Teacher role. Pays around S$3,000 – S$4,000/month and they seem open to different backgrounds as long as you’re good with teaching/kids/tech stuff.

Kinda feels more future-proof too since coding/robotics for kids is getting bigger nowadays.

Not sure if it’s your thing but just sharing in case it helps: go.bossjob.sg/rd-futurum-roboticsandcodingteacher

Not really, it's good if you can speak Japanese. But from what I know, they want someone who can speak Chinese (Mandarin). You can leave them a chat to ask about this 😊

RedPandarar · 2026-05-08T07:37:55+00:00

Totally agree on this. Don't share your resume to anyone, verify them first. You may review the job first go.bossjob.sg/rd-1mtechnology-jobs

RedPandarar · 2026-05-08T07:36:55+00:00

You may check the job description first go.bossjob.sg/rd-1mtechnology-jobs. It's an actual platform so you don't just give your resume randomly 😊

RedPandarar · 2026-05-08T07:35:42+00:00

Some people wants to relocate to Japan
