LTVP-holder laments lack of job opportunities despite sending 500 applications

A 24-year-old Long-Term Visit Pass holder lamented on social media about the lack of job opportunities in Singapore’s competitive market, especially for those in liberal arts like her, despite sending 500 applications.

“I do really want to kick-start my career but I have been sending close to 500 applications and only 2 responded, which I did not pass for the interview because the company said that my experience might not be what they are looking for,” she added. She admitted feeling discouraged and apprehensive each time she browses job sites. “It’s a harsh reality check,” she confessed. “Despite the challenges, she remains determined to start her career in the events, marketing, and linguistics sector regardless of the company or job nature. “I really want to work in my field,” she emphasised. “But with my bond restrictions, going overseas isn’t an option.
