Participants at a local jobfair receiving the free complimentary copies of my book from donors
I have written a book entitled “How To Survive Unemployment” and it was launched on 7 March this year.
The book detailed my experiences when I was unemployed for 20 months during the Sars period. I also provided some survival tips on how to overcome the emotional blues of unemployment.
Interested readers can now receive a FREE online version of the book. Just email me for more details with your interest at goh_gilbert@yahoo.com or gilbert@transitioning.org. Readers need to be unemployed here. Many have received the free online book to date.
We also now have a Mandarin version of the book - 如何在失业中生存.It is been translated by a friend studying in Beijing. If you know of anyone who may benefit from the Mandarin version, do let me know. This version is still not in print yet. The book is retailing at major bookstores now at $12.90 and can also be borrowed from National Library Board Singapore.
Check Out The Publisher’s Website at www.rankbooks.com for more promotional purchase if you prefer to buy a copy.
We also welcome donors who want to buy up books to give them away to the unemployed at jobfairs and CDCs.
Thank you.

Another hackish way of decapping is just to simply take a blowtorch to the chip. It’ll become very britte and fall apart, except for the die itself.
After months of going through interviews and sending out emails to companies in Singapore since last year June 2011. The responds was totally zero (No responds)..Since last year I have been going to e2i and CDC to seek jobs. However, most of the jobs that I had went through (was recommend by e2i) were not at all responding or call back in the end. (What is e2i doing? and is it just a place for the unemployed to spent their days) It is true and I have experience it myself. I have been in design industry for more than 10-yrs, I have seen the big changes in my industry!! What are the changes you ask? They are the foreign designers from Malaysia, Phillippine, PRC and now even Burmese that the government are issuing permit to allow them to take over the senior position from singaporean.
What I know of that the local companies are looking for low cost ‘foreign talent’ to replace the ‘expensive singaporean’ talents since few years ago. How it’s goes to apply for their permit! Those company have reported to the MOM there are not many singaporean willing to come forward for the interview.(The facts is there are singaporean to come in for interview) I knew that there are many design companies hiring all ‘Foreign talents” as designers and not even one singaporean designer can be found! Instead the boss used ‘other positions’ singaporean in their companies to apply for permits (‘those designers’) just to hit the MOM quota!
This year January 2012 I saw the CDC were filled up with crowds of unemployed singaporean both seeking for jobs and finance assistances. The numbers of unemployed is going to hit the roof again, I wonder the statics report by MOM is it ‘true”! From the news read the numbers of foreign workers increased in singapore is only in the construction industry! Eventually its also included the services industry, white collar jobs like mine industry, banking and even engineering industries!! Is there any organization able to check on MOM and give a actual static reports? So that we were not keep in the dark!!
Funny how if you go through the Strait Times, there are tons of jobs there that ask for PR’s of Malaysians. If you go through so many interviews and are not offered any jobs, maybe it’s not the employers but the way you go through the interviews. Just a thought.
There may tons of jobs ad on the newspapers but let take a look at the nature n wage of these jobs first.
How many interviews have you attended before? how many companies have you went to?
The gov should stop issuing PR to these FT/FW.
S’pore workers need minimun wage policy.
S’pore poors need unemployment welfares to survive.
