Writers of Singapore, how are you coping with today's job market and if there is any hope for us to land a job at all?
For some context, I've been looking for a job ever since 2025 Feb before I graduated in July. My degree is in Communications. Back then, I had been searching exclusively for writing gigs/jobs and have pivoted towards a marketing/PR role.
It's been almost a year since my graduation and honestly, I've almost given up trying to find any sort of job in this field as it seems like marketing or PR jobs have been getting axed left and right. (I've applied to about at least 600 jobs since then)
I am privileged that I am in a situation where I can slowly take my time to find something, but it is weighing on my mind that I am taking this long just to do that.
I am wondering if it is just time to bite the bullet, find some random job so I can just stop thinking about it.
Has anyone been in this situation at all? Is it worth it to just keep going?
