SINGAPORE: A Singaporean jobseeker has warned workers they’d “better stay put” if they already have a decent job after his six-month search for a new role ended with hundreds of applications and repeated setbacks. He also claimed that some openings he applied for were eventually scrapped altogether, with companies informing candidates that the job requisition had been cancelled.
