Anyone resigned without a job
- Thread starter bella
- Start date
Hi Bella,
I didn't exactly resigned w/o a job but was w/o job for some time. I suggest that you stayed with your job till you find a new one- you will probably have more bargaining power.
It is unfortunate that SIngapore employers reflect the kiasu attitude. You become undesirable if you are jobless.
I have been in the same situation and am still now. Just be focused in getting a new job. I wish you well.

Hi Bell,
What is your reason to intending to resign from your job without a new job?
I'm also planning to do that by end of the year if everything go well. I'm intending to take the opportunity to do stuff that I cannot do so as holding a full time job. Such as upgrading certain skills, take more time to accompany my ageing parents, have a bit more time to "pamper" my hubby and somemore other things
I agreed with Baobao though tt it might be diffcult to find another job again. That is why I'm also in dismay.
How about you?

hi there..
i think its better to find a job first before resigning if you have certain commitments or your salary is high..
if salary is not too high plus really really cannnot tahan the co. or work as in its affecting you very much, then resign and concentrate fully on searching for a new job.
For me, i am now looking for a job cos i don't see myself happy in this current one.

Hi Jasminetea,
The reason for leaving the current job is that there are limited prospect in my company. Moreover, my job scope had been increasing without any increment. Hence, wanted to leave current company.
Chrysannel12,
You mention that you finding new job now but have you tender your resignation letter?

I resigned w/o a job just a few days before my AD last year. after that went honeymoon and shook legs for abt 4 months. Now back in the work force.
Of cos, if your current job is intolerable and u have enough savings, then follow yr heart and quit. But, u must be very discipline and keep on applying for job.

Hi all,
I also hoping to tender, my boss just don't like my existence in this company. my wedding is coming, and i already saved enough for it, yet i dare not resign without a job lor. i have 2 friends resigned end of last year, till now still can't find any job le.
so i guess, if we are to resign without a job, we have to be prepared for the worst like without a full time job for half a year, prepare to work part-time or any temp jobs.

this time ard i told myself to tahan till i find something, wat to do..kekeke

Meanwhile, u can keep busy with temp cos tt might bring some chances of getting perm job, or starting ur own biz
Dun worry
Cheers

hi ribena,
have u found a job yet?
for me, no luck lah!
have u found a job yet?
for me, no luck lah!
4 years back, i tendered w/o a job becos totally cant stand the boss. Plus I need to give 2 mths notice, hard to find a new job which was willing to wait 2 mths for me, so I quitted first, buay tahan liao.
Dat time still not married and no commitments plus family and hb (then bf) were supportive becos they saw how hard i worked and how unhappy i was. While serving notice, I sent out a few resumes and went for abt 2 to 3 interviews ... Lucky for me, just 2 weeks after i served my last day, my current company offered me and had wanted me to start asap. veri happy now, nice colleagues and boss... this is my 4th year here!
All the best to all looking for jobs! May u find something good!!

Hi cheerios,
it is nice that u are happy with your job, i guess that it is very important becos i think we spent most of the time in the office so if u are not happy then it does impact quite a fair bit loh!
ah yeah! for me my present job is very boring, no prospects and low salary...i find that most of the jobs advertisments now want someone to start immediately.
i also don't know how long can tahan liao

hi chrysanne12
i tendered early tis month. next thurs my last day!!
i'm still looking out for a job, more active since i tendered cos i really have not much time to send resume when i still working. no news yet, but definately there are jobs out there now. i'm feeling positive, and VERY HAPPY that i've quit. cos i'm really better off than working in this co.
good jobs are worth the wait. look at cheerios for example! keep trying

I certainly hope my case is a form of encouragement for you gals!
Yes Chrysanne, being happy in a job is veri impt to me. My previous job made so unhappy that till now, 4 years later, i still remember!!
Boss not understanding, picked on everything you do, show black face, very piercing with her choice of words and demands etc etc ... everyday I dragged going to work, then plus burnt my weekends, I practically got no life! Not to mention, as if she paid me very well.. nah!
I'm veri glad I found my current job. Although my current boss jus matches my pay back then, the benefits I got are veri good, like maternity, bonus etc ... most importantly, the ppl here are much better. I also got promoted with increased salary, so life is certainly better now.
No point dragging our feet to work ... but i understand, at times, there are financial constraints... so i hope those who hv quitted will find something better soon or those looking for a new job then will quit ones, will quickly find one soon to replace old job!!! Cheers!

just to share.. I resigned without a job .. and had been bumming ard for 2 weeks todate. Is a very much happier person and think my black hair is returning.. haha
Took the time to start learning new skills/hobbies like sewing.. setting up own web page.. baking.. I had a friend who told me this.. if you had been DAMN unhappy at one place... chances is that ANY place will be better! haha
Planning to go for a trip before I embark on my next phrase in my life (search for new job)..
Never thought I would ever leave without a job.. but it had gone way beyond my tolerence level. Conclusion: if you have the savings to tahan.. and your next of kin (hubby) supports u (my parents did not though!) follow your heart.. you WILL be a much happier person! so.. GET A LIFE! (I used to work 12 hrs oe more EVERYDAY.. damn no life!)

I have been terribly unhappy in my job. I really hate going to work every morning and at the end of the day, I feel worse coz I felt that I had wasted my entire day again!
I am at this stage in my life where I wonder whether the pain of staying on is greater or lesser than quitting w/o a job.

i tendered without a job last mth !
it beats having to face a worthless batch of ppl and drag myself to work everyday.

it beats having to face a worthless batch of ppl and drag myself to work everyday.
~~I did that in 2003 and was happily jobless for 6 months. (I was prepared to be jobless for up to a year as the economy was bad then.) I spent my time in Orchard Road shopping, having high tea and even massages!!!
whenever any of my ex-colleagues needed someone for a kopi in town, they will call me as more often than not, I'll be somewhere nearby, hee hee.
It was a very relaxing break and certainly perked me up for my next job.

Wah...hmm, noe i'm abit out of date here but..I've just tendered w/o a job too!! Need to serve a month's notice though and am actively looking for one. So afraid dat my FH will scold me but luckily he didnt..he juz say, juz make sure u go find another one loh.
Actually, got the guts to tender cos i got my performance bonus liao and the very last straw came when i applied for a week's leave n juz on my 1st day of leave, they called me and asked me to go back and clear 'abit of work cos ur covering cannot tahan'. I so angry, i called my pal to type out my resignation letter and print out for me. When i reached the officer, i juz hand it to my boss..then i cancelled all my leave.
Although only 1 more mth, i still dread gg to my office. Its a horrible feeling. And getting cold treatments from boss after i tendered, lagi worse..duno why they take it so personally.
In a happier mood now, cos got interview on wed =)))..
