Happy boring.

You know that I have been trying to get jobs the last few weeks, the furthest I have went is to the recruiter's office and nothing more. I am currently studying for a Master's in Finance in a proper university and apparently, my past records speaks for nothing.

It is really quite funny that the last time I worked was end of 2011 and I did not work for the last 1.5 years. But I think employers are just curious about the large gap of about 1.5 years. My feeling is that employers are more interested in employees whom have a an extended period of time for a few years- regardless of the achievements.

My feeling is that this is symptomatic of the Singapore society. They are more interested in getting pennies in than fitting, and forming a docile workforce than to really working and finding work as an end to happiness and enjoyment in life. To them, work is only about bread and butter and nothing else. This means that don't see, don't tell, don't ask, don't do, and don't know, don't be bothered. That is feeling that I get even from the recruiters that the first thing they ask me is what have you been doing the last 1 year or so and not whether to authenticate my achievements.

This means that they are more interested in getting $200 this month and next month rather than finding that their work is meaningful. The only reason for all these chequered employment past is that everyone was trying to find work that is meaningful and not just getting that extra $100 here and there.

I am not sure whether how much they enjoy working like this and I can reassure you that if I will think like that my "selected achievements" line will not be longer than my "selected job scope".

But you see, I cannot do anything about forcing an employer to sign me on the dotted line no matter what I can say. But I think thankfully that I have sufficient job experience to move into another place to start afresh and at least in the worst case scenario, there will still be unemployment benefits.

But in this particular case, it is still works in progress but well, if this place are not open to people whom take chances. I think it is time to say goodbye.

Actually, I have sufficient wealth itself to lived quite comfortably but well, I will leave it to someone else to keep my investment and meanwhile, I will  make my way somewhere else.

Seeya people.
