my friend did a career switch four years ago, and he was intending to stay jobless until he completes his studies. he spent 1.5 years studying and doing attachments related to this sector (data analyst) and he landed a job related to this sector after that. he started off with a pay cut too, but now after 2 years later, he is drawing the same pay as what he previously drew when he was in the construction sector. dont give up! its not easy but u’ll get there someday, and somehow :)
Just wanna add that I experienced the same thing like your friend... I graduated as an engineering and of course got into the engineering industry but soon realised that I wasn't enjoying what I was doing and even didn't have enough sleep sometimes as I was too stressed and maybe even too miserable at my job. So I secretly applied for other jobs whilst still at my old job. During my NS I got posted into an HR department and I really liked what I was doing, it was not engineering but I liked it. So I decided to apply for HR roles and I actually recieved a call back from them. I got into an interview with them and got the job. Funny enough, my old former company thought that I was taking leave to take a break but I was actually settling my paperworks for my new job 😂. Fast forward to present and I'm still enjoying my job and most importantly I can always have a good night sleep every night and not gonna lie, actually feel excited for the next day to do something I really like. I even went out and beyond to actually pursue and further my studies on HR while still working. It's tiring but I'm hoping it will come to fruition 😊. Edit: I forgot to mention that I also got a big pay cut like "massive" when I first got into HR... It was disheartening and my parents were so against it but I did it anyway at my own "leap of faith" lol. Took me a while to catch up with my old pay check but I got it back eventually😊.
Would love a JB grocery run vlog with price comparisons if possible! Also, never commented before but just wanted to let you know that I super love your vlogs because i think they're the most relatable life in SG vlogs and it feels so peaceful and fun wafching them 😊! It's the joy in simple evrryday life! Also, i'm sure evth will turn out for the better with the decision to pivot. Am kinda in the same position as you too so all i can say is fighting! 😂💪🫶
Hello Yul! I also went through the same struggles as you during my 4-5 months of unemployment. Was a miserable time for me as well especially since my original plans didn't quite pan out the way I had hoped and I faced multiple rejections which was discouraging. Luckily, I just recently managed to land an offer at an unexpected place. It is still a pivot from where I originally was, even if it isn't my dream/ideal destination so in a way, it still is a positive step. Pay and benefits wise, it is thankfully a major step up which was what sealed the deal for me to accept the offer. Anyway, you've definitely gotten things more planned out and have taken more action than I have in making your pivot work and you're definitely more positive in your outlook, so I'm sure you'll find something satisfactory for sure!
OMG Congratulations! Thanks for updating comments with your job hunt, I remember you as the Archi dude 😂 very very happy for you!!! I wish you the best in the new job! Also appreciate the vote of confidence 🥹
You are an inspiration to us all, to never give up. It is very uplifting and encouraging. Thank you for the effort of uploading vlogs. Know that we all appreciate them! Would love to see your JB grocery shopping vlogs. I used to live in Kuala Lumpur for a year and love the option in groceries there. Tassie supermarkets are meh... I wish you a great week ahead .✨️
I would be interested in your vlog for JB groceries trip that happens once every 2 weeks! Like which malls you normally would go to and where to get better offers. Cause I only go to City Square, KSL and Mid Valley Mall which a lot of Singaporean go to, and the shops there might mark up the price.
All the best! Don’t feel like you’re falling behind just because you quit corporate. Everyone has their own timeline! Was excited to watch this vlog as usual 🤭
i have commented before in your previous video.. As someone working in corporate and doing a mid career switch. To be honest i miss the pay of a corporate and the nice ac in office haha… as now i’m in my final year as a nursing student the change is great no doubt about it. But Life is short so just do it and see where it takes me.. 🎉stay strong! 💪
Yes I remember your comment! Thanks for cheering on a fellow mid career switcher heh. I do miss the pay a bit, especially when I shop in Singapore 🤣 And whutttt, final yearrr - LAST LAP, LET’S GO!!!💪🏼
Not sure if this helps but I was recently in a similar pickle having pursued a Graduate degree to switch roles! Definitely unsettling and receiving >2X rejections in a span of 2 weeks was extremely tough to bear. Honestly just picking and relating the transferable skill sets via my resume and subsequent interviews helped landed my current dream role. You can do it too! All the best :)
THANKS FOR THIS!!! Gives me hope!!! This was what I was trying to do with the resume tailoring. Just picking out what I think were transferable and highlighting it in resume haha!
I’m on the same journey as you now. Just left my corporate job 1.5 months ago, I gave myself 1 year to look for a job. BUT I’m also getting impatient, even though I did get an offer. Unfortunately, the offer wasn’t something I wanted and I declined it politely. Then, I got back into a cycle of anxiety after declining the offer. Hahaha, I just have to keep reminding myself that with every interview and every rejection I’ve gotten I gained more exp points towards the job and offer I want. Even if I’m not qualified enough, I have time now, I can start doing something about it. My friends always love to use the phrase “rejections are redirections”. So, ALL THE BEST!!! We deserve the career we want!!! ❤
Our journeys thus far are sooo similar 😆 I believe we are now clear about what we want, hence the pickiness! Love what your friends say about rejections. Thanks for leaving a comment on this, all the best to us both!!!💪🏼🔥
I think we can all afford ourselves to hop off the travellator once in a while for personal fulfillment and goals . We can work on becoming a kinder and more fulfilled person . My personal views : Accumulate as much money as you can . Optimize your spending , so that it is easier to hop off the travellator when you want to , and stay outside of it for as long as you need to
hi yul! ive been job searching too, also no luck but it’s been about 3 weeks and need to have a job as I can’t sit at home and do nothing haha, I feel you too, as a somewhat fresh grad, a lot of companies looking for years of experience 😭🥲 my industry is very niche too in sg
Sorry to hear that! It’s a tough job market out there for fresh grads and companies seem to ask for years of experience even for entry level roles ugh. You may wanna try looking for part time or contract roles first while you hunt for another better job. Don’t give up!!!
Buy adams peanut butter!! Its cheap for its quality at only $6 and the ingredients are 100% peanuts and nothing else. Can spam as much PB without feeling the guilt 😛
@@PbearDiaries Omg u should try it! Some soya sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, scallions, black vinegar, peanut butter!! And add some hot water and mix it up. Then put whatever noodles in and mix. DELISH.
that pink hello kitty PJ is the cutest wow! im a guy and would love to gift it to my desired one in future LOL hope that will be considered a good gift!
My boyfriend went to get his degree and couldn’t find a job for close to 8months, even as a fresh grad cert 😢😢😢 it can be quite tiring, but I hope you’ll be able to find yourself a suitable job ❤
unfortunately, it's a 'buyers' market when it comes down to candidates these days. Companies can be ultra picky and blunt because there is a glut of candidates. We posted an opening a few days ago and received about 80+ CV's so far (and counting). Unfortunately, we can only spend less than a minute reading/reviewing each CV to make a decision on whether to put them into our 'potential candidates' folder or not. To be honest, we know within the first 30 seconds of quick scanning a CV whether we like someone or not.
😢 this is why it’s so important to tailor the resume and make it stand out to recruiters! I get called for interview roughly once every 15-20 job applications sent 🫠 Tiring but I WILL KEEP TRYING 🔥
Mama Daze lives near Anchorvale V? I wish to meet you. You always come here I see😊. And yes! Thai banana fitters is damn good. husband and I also love it❤
Wishing you get an employment soon, then seek to get your course under Skillsfuture funding if not done already. Economy outlook is not so good due to geopolitical movements that indirectly affect us. US debts is increasing rapidly as US spends on military wars, trade wars and sanctions with no end in sight. US will go into recession eventually. SG is dependent on US. Love your vlog as it is an eye opener to me how young people think and live today. I need to reset my thinking and outlook in life too. I’m just a retired senior. Good job, keep it up!
My former Bui Bui down under Kangaroo Boss always chant " Forget what you lost yesterday and think of what you don't have tomorrow!" 😂 Like that, my shadow kicks my butt.😮
I understand you difficulty. i am a post grad and corporate job takes a toll on me 2 years in. Mind sharing what are your rough plans throughout the period of unemployment so we all can learn? :)
Ah! Which sector are you in and is the post grad related to your job? I shared about my plans in earlier videos! You can watch the ‘I quit corporate’ video, and this one, where I talk about factors that help me pull thru this period: czcams.com/video/q04ww7syPZQ/video.htmlsi=ujvA2k8htUTsv4yV
😂😂 cant help but comment after saw that stall in Chinatown where you bought the non crispy ball? I like their mantou n fried springonion pancake. Didnt try the one you got.
@yuldaze not sure ler. To me, I like it after compare with couple others I had bought same items from. Esp the springonion not as oily as the other i tried b4.
Just join civil service or choose the highest paying job, must tell urself u here to earn $$ not to make urself happy. then can plan or retire early if really want to enjoy..
@@yuldaze yep its a plastic ball like a wiffleball ceppt has holes all over it... they show alot of matches here in the states... even show blitzball on the sports channel from jomboy media... which is a popular sports commentating channel on youtube
As long as able to buy food, have shelter it’s good enough, keeping up with others is a want not a need
Wise words 🫡
Totally agree. Many people lose themselves or get into misery via a Corp life they don't like

Second para is spot on! It’s a privilege to be able to hop off the travellator and I’m grateful I can do so 💕
I am interested to see the price diff btwn JB and SG!
OK!
There are new skillsfuture credits announced during NDP! Also helping with allowance with those currently unemployed
Haha I’m not eligible. It’s for those who are let go from company. Skillsfuture credit also can’t be used for my post grad studies
Fairprice bread spreads are actually pretty decent ngl. i like the kaya and peanut butter.
Noiceeee, I’ll give it a shot!
didn’t know fairprice has peanut butter. i’d wanna try the no salt sugar one
Lemme know if it’s good!
Yes JB shopping runs!
it’s normal , just chill and relax , your
time will come soon enough .
