SINGAPORE — They’ve sent 20 to 50 job applications but some graduating students are struggling to secure interviews, much less a job offer, amid the Republic’s slowing economy.
With the gross domestic product (GDP) projected to grow 1 to 3 per cent this year — last year’s growth was 2.1 per cent — human resource experts said they have seen a drop of at least 10 per cent in job vacancies open to fresh graduates from last year, with graduates finding it difficult to secure their ideal jobs.
