Singapore jobseeker plans to pause job hunt after 6 months of rejections
SINGAPORE: After nearly six months of sending out résumés and sitting through dead-end interviews, one mid-level finance manager in Singapore is planning to hit pause on his job hunt for the rest of the year. Posting on the r/askSingapore forum on Friday (May 30), the man shared that he had sent out 'lots of applications' since January but received very few interviews in return. Those that he did get, he said, 'led nowhere.' 'I thought I was gonna land a job… and for the amount of applications I sent, I don't think I got a lot of interviews even,' he wrote. Frustrated, he said, 'I'm going to stop looking for a new job if I can't find one by (the) end of June and start again next year. Who else has also given up job hunting this year?' 'Keep going and keep trying; that's the only way to get out of the tunnel…' Under his post, many users expressed that they understood where his frustration was coming from, having been in similar situations themselves. Despite that, they still encouraged him to keep applying and not give up entirely. See also How Exactly Is Entrepreneurship Changing The Workforce? To motivate him, one user shared, 'Don't give up. Last December, after four to five months of searching, I landed what I thought was my dream job. However, I didn't pass probation due to a company restructuring. After a short break, I started a three-month part-time contract in April through my network. Amazingly, just two weeks into that, I received another job offer!' Another commented, 'Got terminated in January. Landed a new job this week. Sent roughly 150 applications on MCF, five interviews, and three offers. Keep trying; don't give up. The job market isn't great, not gonna lie.' A third said, 'I got retrenched in mid-March. Started spamming job applications from the moment I got escorted out of my former office. Lost count of how many applications I submitted or how many interviews I attended, but I got my first offer (a decent one) in late April, accepted it, and started work in mid-May.' A fourth user added, 'This job market is tough; it really takes a toll on one's mental health. Keep going and keep trying; that's the only way to get out of the tunnel.'

In his post on the r/singaporefi forum, the man explained that he had recently been exploring FIRE-related content and was feeling increasingly discouraged. He observed that many of the examples and advice came from the U.S., where home prices tend to be lower and average incomes are significantly higher compared to Singapore.

What Executives Can Learn From Actors About The Power Of Networking
Business leaders networking in a cafe. Networking on LinkedIn may seem easy for executives, but growing and maintaining genuine relationships is more of a challenge. Many executives feel completely alone despite having hundreds of digital connections. Professional isolation isn't just an emotional challenge for executives; it also affects their performance. Thomas Saporito, CEO of the management consulting firm RHR International, wrote via the Harvard Business Review that 70% of new CEOs report loneliness in their roles. The impact of isolation on leadership is significant. A Deloitte survey in 2015 revealed 77% of professionals experience burnout due to a lack of support. A study by British scholars in 2023, published by Occupational Medicine, shows that feeling lonely at work has a direct impact on job performance and satisfaction, along with team relationships. While many executives recognize these challenges, traditional networking methods often fail to solve them. What's needed isn't more networking but a fundamentally different approach to building professional relationships. This offers a case where executives should consider strategies that are already effective in the entertainment industry. Actors work in similar high-stakes environments, but their approach to networking provides valuable lessons for business leaders. Actors don't just network for immediate benefits but also invest in relationships that become beneficial throughout their careers. They know that the production assistant they work with today might become a director tomorrow. At Southwest Airlines, Herb Kelleher's leadership looked beyond job titles, as he was known for treating each employee with equal respect and genuine curiosity. Like actors who understand the potential in every interaction, Kelleher saw the value in every individual. "I don't think you can be an effective actor if you're not curious about people and events," Meryl Streep said during a speech at the University of Texas, according to Cosmopolitan. Besides relationship-building, actors study the behaviors, motivations, and communication styles of everyone they meet, which they later use in their craft. Leaders who network with this curiosity will also gain insights they can incorporate into their leadership styles. Actors understand that location matters as much as the approach. Research published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology found that face-to-face requests are 34 times more successful than email. While executives often attend online events, actors tend to network through in-person classes and on-set experiences. Finding a variety of environments for networking will allow you to be both professional and authentic. Try these actor-inspired tactics for more meaningful conversations and connections: Observe with purpose: Like actors preparing for roles, see each interaction as a chance to study effective (and ineffective) behaviors. Memorize meaningful details: Note personal facts for new contacts and bring them up in future conversations, showing you value the relationship and what they have to say. Focus on listening: Instead of planning your next response or trying to sound interesting, truly listen to what others are saying. Doing this will take pressure off you and allow you to find things in common. Seek informal settings: There's a reason for the saying that more deals happen on the golf course than anywhere else—casual environments open up opportunities for real and honest conversations. Consider joining a cooking class, signing up for improv workshops, or volunteering to connect with others without the pressure of your professional role. When you network through shared interests, conversations flow more naturally, and relationships develop without the need for forced tactics. The most powerful relationships often begin when you're not trying to network at all, which is precisely what actors have been doing all along.

Clubbing without alcohol in bright daylight: What is ‘coffee rave', the new music and cafe trend brewing in KL?
KUALA LUMPUR, June 1— There's a new party trend making waves across town — you go clubbing to dance music, but not at night... and certainly there is no alcohol involved. Get your latte on and join in these 'coffee raves'. Imagine a nightclub with a DJ and upbeat music, but with a twist. Instead of alcohol and a late-night setting, it features a variety of coffee drinks and takes place in the morning, which could begin at 7am or 10am, depending on the organisers. The DJ is still there, spinning upbeat tracks, but the atmosphere is all about starting your day energised, fuelled by caffeine and good vibes. It can also be a good opportunity for anyone to network and socialise. The events are inclusive and family-friendly, welcoming everyone from young families to couples on a first date. 'Coffee raves' provide good networking opportunities.. minus the hangover. — Picture by Yusof Mat Isa What's best is that raves end early, so you can still go for brunch, run errands, or relax afterwards, all without a hangover. Though it's called a coffee rave, it's not always just about coffee — many venues are happy to serve other drinks upon request. Still, that's not the case everywhere, as some locations stick to the purist approach: at a coffee rave, it's coffee and nothing else. As club snacks typically involve finger foods, at a coffee rave, you can expect dishes such as pastries and cookies instead. Which morning person came up with this idea anyway? The trend began to grow in popularity across Europe and Australia, particularly in Brisbane and Melbourne. Looking through the internet, it has also made waves around the US and across India, such as Mumbai and Delhi. More recently, Singapore hosted its own version at a venue called Beats & Beans. The outlet most recently celebrated its first anniversary on May 24, with a party which started at 2pm. The venue flew over producer Y3LLO from Yangon, Myanmar and featured local DJs Joon and Ling, who had performed at their first ever coffee rave. The trend has since spread to Malaysia, where many cafés are now looking to bring the experience nationwide. When and why is the trend growing in Malaysia? While clubs and bars remained a popular go-to spot for Malaysians to unwind throughout the 2010s, the coffee rave trend was still in its early stages, and only recently has it begun to gain traction nationwide. 'I think it's partly because people are always looking for new, fun ways to socialise and the idea of mixing music, dancing, and coffee just hits differently,' said Priscilla Lee, 39, organiser from UP KL for their event yesterday. Lee added that though the trend started in Europe and Australia, Malaysians are making it their own version. 'It's not just copying the West, it's adapting it to our local culture and energy,' Lee added. Will the 'coffee rave' trend in Malaysia like in Australia, India, Europe and the US or will it fizzle out is too early to say at the moment. — Picture by Yusof Mat Isa However, according to Lee, these have mostly been smaller pop-up events and occasional café parties. 'Some were more like early morning yoga and dance events with coffee after, while others leaned into the music scene a bit more.' Lee noted that she believes UP KL's event stands out because it brings more structure and energy to the overall concept, setting a new standard for how such events can be done locally. What's special is the vibe, it's like a proper party, but in the morning, which Lee describes as a mix of amazing coffee, feel-good music, people dancing, and everyone simply being in the moment. 'It's a chance to start your day with high energy and connect with others in a super positive way,' Lee added. The event at UP KL is especially meaningful because it involves a collaboration with one of their favourite cafés, and Kenny Hills Coffee Roasters is also taking part. 'We couldn't be more excited,' she said.
