I agree, sort of. Everyone waits until end of January for their 13th month "bonus", then hands in 30 day notice. You will find greatest number of new hires ready to start Mar 1 or Apr 1 thereabouts, with a falling but still reasonably large number of new hires in May, maybe June.Wd40 wrote:I think the 1st 3 months and the last 3 months of the year are the worst time to look for a job in Singapore. The best time is from Mar/Apr until Sep/Oct
Actually, this is the best answer.nutnut wrote:best time is today, well, that is unless you want to sit scratching your arse all year in a hope the "market"may get "better"
Not sure if I come off as being ignorant but my husband has been in the same situation twice.Wd40 wrote:During my job search for the last 6 and 1/2 months, I didnt get anything decent. Although there were interviews with terrible companies, they didnt get converted to offers.
Last month I started interview with what I would call a dream job and I am hoping to get offered in couple of weeks time. Meanwhile, another company that I also interviewed, which looked great then, not so great now in comparison to this other dream job, have just offered me. So this is the first really good offer that I have got and at if I was given this offer last month, I would have given an arm and a leg to take it. But now I have to wait for this dream job and have decided to give a pass to the other offer.
Its so painful and nerve wreaking, but such is life in Singapore's limited well of opportunities.
