Dear Gilbert,
I am a graduate of SMU, and have trouble finding a job for 2 years.
I am wondering if there are any opportunities here because I have been looking on craigslist, indeed, jobsdb, regionUP, all for jobs but I suspect most of them are fake or just recruiters trying to collect resumes for the companies which are not even hiring.
I have a Bachelor’s in Accountancy and Finance from SMU.
At 29 years of age, I don’t see much opportunities in the PMET sector especially for males.
I don’t know why. But I think employers generally prefer females in the accountancy sector because they will not shout out as loud as males, and are generally perceived as more meticulous than men.
I am deeply worried that my 2 years of unemployment gap will affect my future career (if it even exists now).
Right now, I am feeling that local government do not support unemployed workers, and just cover it up with the news saying that unemployment is low. Truth is many people are underemployed.
I tried approaching friends and family, but none of them have opportunities for me. Instead they keep telling me supposedly helpful advice like “have you tried this… or that” etc.
Almost implying that it’s my fault that I did not hang on to my previous job.
