What exactly is wrong with the job you have right now and what makes you think that if you change jobs the next one will be any better?

Why do you think that emigrating will make you happier?

Re: In a job I dun like, should I quit?
 

find job first than quit

Cantonese got this saying : 'Keh Ngao Wan Ma' meaning : Ride on a cow to look for a horse.

Nowadays there are many employers out there who can interview you after office hours as they are too busy during the day too...

Re: In a job I dun like, should I quit?
 

If going to work each day is such a torture, then quit without a job. But before you do so, take stock of your savings first to see how long you can last with no job and expenses to pay. This is a reality check so that you plan.

Bear in mind that no job means you also have no medical benefits and if you fall sick or bad-luck need to go hospital, you pay yourself. Do you have insurance premium to keep up, or vehicle installments to make?

To tide over while you look for a more suitable job or fill in migration forms, take a temporary or part-time job that requires minimal training. Bear in mind that the pay is not great working for fast food or as security guard. The benefit is that you can go home promptly at end of shift. If you need time to read or study to better yourself, volunteer to do the night shift permanently as a condo guard. There will be opportunities on night shift to do your own thing while getting paid

Send out a few resume liao. Hope to get an interview soon.

If you ask around, most people will tell you that they are not crazy over their jobs. It's a means to an end to provide for their family and lifestyle. It can be overly idealistic to expect job satisfaction all the time, that sort of emotional state will fluctuate too. Unless you really hate your job because of your boss or a lack of skills to function properly, the level of dissatisfaction can be reduced with a slow but steady mental shift.

Very well said, nuclearkid. We need to reassess this "lack of satisfaction" thing. That is why we need to keep at it and work on it while we look for a "better" job, instead of focusing on the problems and lack of satisfaction. A problem is not solved by focusing on it. We focus on the solution.

Re: In a job I dun like, should I quit?
 

In the same situation like ts just that i hv no plans to look for a oversea job. Am suffering at my current work place and dying to leave. However, found a propect job but its a contract post which the co say got chance to renew contract or convert to perm at tge end of this contract. Should i take it up considering the economic climate even its a contract post?

Re: In a job I dun like, should I quit?
 

This one is very correct!!

On top of find a job first before quitting!

I heard some quit for fun to relax relax after few months then panic pulling strings to find job.. dont siao siao..

And back to value add, all jobs will have something to learn.. if lucky then got people teach, if not lucky then learn yourself..go bang wall and learn also better than sit down and do nth..

And never complain about 'hey how come his work he never do then pass to me to do?' take up the new task, learn as much as u can, it adds to your portfolio at the end of the day. use this as leverage for your next job interview!

But sometimes also pandai pandai choose the jobs that will add value la, between learn how to type and learn how to sweep floor, of course learn how to type la..

No

Re: In a job I dun like, should I quit?
 

Bro,
i'll make a few assumptions as I give you advice. High chance that you're not in a very high paying job. If you were, I would suck it up, do the job and get paid the big bucks. Hard to find well paying jobs now.

For migration unless you're getting to a lesser country like Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand etc. you won't be able to get a proper job unless maybe you went to school there like UK, US and AU. But even then, it's VERY difficult to get a job, sponsor and visa.

I used to work in the US for almost 8 years. It was tough to get that first job even after I went to school there. Most 1st world countries look for specialized skills with grads from good schools - NUS, even tho very highly ranked, is not considered special.

My advice is find out what you like to do and if it's practical - like don't say i want to be a actor, writer, singer etc.- then go for it. Get the proper certs and get the job you want. But do not leave the job you have now bro. Huge risk. Economy sucks now.

Nus is fucked up shit la.

It's symbolic of spore.
Totally fucked up reputation overseas or no one heard of it or care about it overseas . But in spore those idiots brag until like it's world class . Fucking fake

If you got a confirmed place in nus medicine, the most difficult faculty to get in in nus, don't say MIT or Harvard or Cambridge la, if top universitys in China or Japan offer u a place , fucking run there la. You know how fucking difficult to get into those places?

Nus is like spore whores. Over rated only in spore
