I must admit I'm depress for being unemployed for more than 6 months but I have tried so many things & I did went for 20 interviews but none has given me an offer yet. I haven't slept the entire night as well seeing how screwed I am.

How old are you?

35 yrs old.

Oh then you should be worried man. But hopefully luck will come to you. Keep finding and keep hustling bruh.

Yeah, and I read the article how bad is being unemployed for more than 6 months & the truth is shocking! But not sure if it's the same here. Sometimes I also not sure whether I should mention during interview that I've been retrenched (to avoid negative perception from future employer) or just simply said I resigned from previous post due to personal matter.

You demand high is it? Cheap cheap pay also do first lar. Should have born in Denmark, can enjoyce 4 years.

Lower your expectations.

C'mon surely there is something you can do. worse come to worse, Uber la

What are your field and qualification?

Ts can consider to drive grab/uber meanwhile looking for permanent job.

I was out of work in March, go in and out of others new jobs until landed a good one in Oct. Of course i didnt declare those i go in and out.

I tell you what...

Try widen your coverage area to include those ulu place as well. As long as within your acceptable traveling cost and time.

Good Luck

Yes, I did drive for grab for the time being but I can't imagine doing it in a long run especially on the car maintenance, wear and tear & health concern.

I am only a diploma holder but I was already at management level. Perhaps this is what makes it harder for me to find a new job. I already lowered my expected salary but when I go for an interview, they said I'm overqualified for the exec post. Maybe they just make an excuse to reject my application.

I got a second interview next week and the work location is at southern region of Msia. Don't want to put so much hope since I have been to 2nd & 3rd interviews with different companies in July & October but at last, they move on with another candidate.

Hey man best of luck to you

Tq tq!!

Just apply for immediate vacancy la ts... Mr diy... 99speedmart... Meni2 job offer out there.. work dulu as long as get salari to sudtain..

I was in your position after being laid-off earlier this year. I seriously consider taking low paying job (flipping burgers or petrol station) just to pay my bill but fortunately, I got an offer after 4 months being jobless. Keep looking bro or consider taking job outside your industry/comfort-zone.

Retrenchment is seriously a very bad thing.
It leave gaps in your resume & certainly killing one's self-esteem.

Ya, my wife also advise me the same.
Or I should just continue with doing grab.

this what i was few years back, a diploma holder in management level with internal promotions but i realized that in order for me to advance further i need to get higher paper qualification and i took degree courses part time.

it did helps me as supporting qualification although not the main factor but you need to go past the HR dept that filters out candidate that doesnt meet the minimum requirement.

i know how u feel bro.......ive been a fap man too
