'I’m a fresh grad seeking my first FT job for the past 8 months and while I knew it’d be tough and exhausting, I feel like employers also don’t respect your time at all,' the workforce newbie wrote

The jobseeker shared examples of things that allegedly happened while searching for a job. From a last-minute rescheduling of an interview not once but twice to being told that 2500 is “too much”, the NUS graduate feels let down. “Hostile and constantly checking nails during interview, demanded to see my personal Instagram then declined when I offered to show her my portfolio instead. Offered an internship instead of a FT role after three rounds of interviews and a presentation – was supposed to meet them today to discuss this but they suddenly rescheduled all the way to next week”
“Don’t be discouraged, young one!” one wrote. “Keep on trying. Companies are still quite cautious when it comes to hiring, so we really need to sort of adapt to what is available on the market. I have almost 30 years of working experience and it took me 10 months to finally land a single job offer.
