The first thing every employer called me after seeing my resume is to ask this evergreen question: When is your birthday? Not that they wanted to give me a birthday present, but to let me listen to the sound of silence... cannot climb too high?

When you go for job interview lie about your age and act less experienced. It's weird isn't it? how to hide your age? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 (edited) If putted, what do you think? At least no put, they call means they interested in my profile, etc etc... Then, the hard truth when they know my age. From here, I will also know who is discriminating. Actually, they should make it a law that no age, sex, salary expectation and last drawn be mentioned until last round of interview. That is, all those data collection when you fill up before interview should not be there in the first place. I had went through so many interviews and only 2 companies don't need and don't ask for this. Landed a job in one of two. So why can't others? i see, you never put that in your CV .

Wt_know Supersonic July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 (edited) the most vulnerable group ... the only way out is property agent, insurance agent, taxi driver, become hawker? above all are so called "self employed" ... no company wants to hire old & highly trained staff even you take 1/5 of your last drawn salary or just accept what is offer as market rate ... but always kena labelled as "over-qualify" over-qualify good what ... as long as not over-paid ... no? Highly trained, middle-aged and out of work The 55-year-old, who used to earn more than $25,000 a month, now has to settle for commissions of about $3,000 from his current job as a property agent. A former general manager in the oil and gas industry, he used to draw a salary of about $15,000 a month. These days, Mr Long, 58, takes eight months to earn that much as a taxi driver.

Little_prince Supersonic July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 Few takers for crane operator jobs paying up to $7,000More local crane operators needed as BTO programme is ramped up: KhawTHE pay can be as much as $7,000 a month, yet the risks associated with operating cranes from high up seem to be deterring people from signing up.So much so that National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan yesterday pointed out that more local crane operators are needed to cope with the ramped up number of Build-to-Order (BTO) flats in the pipeline.Half of the 3,600 active operators now are Singaporeans, he wrote on his blog."But we need more, a few hundred more, as we ramp up our BTO programme," he added.
