Does anybody here struggling to find a new job right now?

I still remembered before Covid-19, I have no problem in finding a new job.

I'm using Indeed, Linkedin and Jobstreet. There's a lot of job vacancies during that time. Until 1 point I don't know which one to choose when I received few offers.

But nowadays, after Covid-19, I noticed that less and less jobs are available to apply.

Some companies that used to advertised vacancies on Jobstreet are no longer advertised there.

I also checked on their career section on their company websites also the same.

I feel like the job markets nowadays are really bad. I thought only US, UK are struggling right now, but it affects our country I guess.

Now I still need to keep looking.

on which profession if don't mind I ask

last month I checked accountants still got high demand from companies

Same from IT industries. I can still see a lot of opportunities.

maybe try not to reach too high,

maybe share more on your age and field? i still getting linkedin pm from headhunters... my,sg,ireland,uae

i think only fresh grads struggle to find job cause all want high pay and easy/glamor works. for experienced folks, unless you suck, else you actually have lots of jobs to choose from.

Touch base with past colleagues, boss, business partners, connections…Easier lubang to look

If job portal you will fight with hundreds of applicants for 1 position and there will always people who are better than you

Some move to LinkedIn then those big company have their own profile with talent recruiter there

There's still a lot of jobs out there but the salaries that they're offering are a joke.

Maybe you need more connections. I already very long no apply for job. LinkedIn also I don’t have. All my job offers are through headhunter or ex boss call me.

Just rejected an offer last month from my ex boss and another one from headhunter last oct. What I am telling is that there are vacancies available, but you need connections to reach it.

Depends on age as well. Once you hit 35 and above, many employer expect you to at least be in managerial role, at least an assistant manager/supervisor.

Try apply for those if your above 35

Yup ... 57 yrs old .. nobody want

Depend on the profession.

Some professionals that works in retail environment like pharmacist, have jobs available but gaji not so good & work shift and/or long hours.

depends on profession.

I know a SAP consultant, all the roles via recommendation.

I think 35yo very easy to find job.

I know someone that age, apply job straight away dapat job interview within 1 week.

1 week also can get 3 intereviews.

Yes, me retard quit job fOr FaMiLy just 31yo nobody gives a shit when I want to rejoin

I think it is hard to find a higher paying job rather than hard to find a job.

To be honest, its getting harder to get new hire too. Just like how there's good hire and bad hire, in the world of Linked in, Jobstreet, Indeed whatever, all of it has that loophole to be seen. There's some employer (such as me) that put plenty of position open for hire, just to see how many sohai in fact actually read carefully before applying.

Hate to say or admit this, but if I see one same name applying for 3 company (1 real 2fake adverts) for several different position, the possibility is highly likely that I wont even bother to hire that bastardos regardless how qualified he is.

Cables, I mean calling old friends help. Inb4 get a job without need interview

Does JobStreet applicants find jobs? I feel like ads on there are just for show. I need to find another job soon as company closing ldown soon. Fml
