She had graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the National University of Singapore’s Business School in April 2024, but it has taken her more than a year to secure a full-time job.The 25-year-old, who wanted to be known as Adeline, has been working in a marketing agency since June. She told AsiaOne that her job hunt saw her apply for various positions in government agencies, multinational corporations as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises.Amid the tears and growing resignation, she still managed to create an Excel sheet to track her progress.Out of 287 applications, Adeline reached the initial HR screening for 12 positions. She advanced to interviews with hiring managers for eight of those and completed the full interview process for four roles — only to be either ghosted or ultimately told she was not the right fit.“In that sense, a lot of time and effort was invested with little to no progress,” added Adeline.Adeline's experiences are a reflection of the recent struggles of other fresh graduates in their job search.
