The key to an effective job search: Knowing your jobseeker profile
Tens of thousands of jobs have been shed in Singapore as Covid-19’s economic toll mounts. Jobseekers are likely to face more competition and a longer wait to find a new job, which can sometimes take more than six months.
In the first of a four-part series by Workforce Singapore (WSG), we look at three jobseeker profiles — sandwiched breadwinner, overseas returnees and PMETs in pandemic-hit sectors — to highlight their concerns, goals and game plans to overcome the situation and persevere through their job search process.
A job search is a very personal and tiring journey. Tailoring it to your needs is a crucial first step to getting you closer to where you want to be.
Map out your career goals, personal requirements and challenges, so you can pinpoint specific areas of improvement — whether it’s re-adjusting your lifestyle and making the necessary modifications, or figuring out alternative job roles to match your interests.
Find out which jobseeker profile you belong to and get advice from WSG’s team of career coaches to jumpstart your job search journey today.
