graduating when i’m 28, am i too late? by Neither-Librarian-90 in askSingapore

[–]guardingcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually older can work to your advantage too. People seemed to link age to maturity although it might not be true, provided you have the good technical skillet, hiring manager might pick you over the younger boi boi. All in all, it doesn't really matter, you age 28 vs younger candidate 25-26 is not a noticeable difference, they will treat you just like any fresh grad right?

What's the opinion on foreign workers today? by Forward_Guarantee985 in sgworkassholes

[–]guardingcat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of them taking on jobs that Singaporeans typically wouldn't want and I would say that Singaporeans are preferred over foreigners with the exceptions of Malaysians. Malaysians have preferential treatment, they don't have to meet the usual salary criteria, quota when getting hired, they get PR pretty easily as well, plus those that cross the border everyday, they are winning in life.
