  try to apply for a cleaner position in that company and they said my degree qualification too high for this job. try to apply for a manager position, they said i don't have the experiences as i'm a fresh graduate.
  
  Jobs today are not very hard to find but they will look at your qualification whether is it too high or too low.....
  
  As William Hung said

  I can't dance
  What can I do?"

  they will check it out

  Now this is ridiculous.
  
  Does it mean the higher your qualifications, the lesser jobs you can do?

  they will recommend you to a management position instead of a low class job. I can do anything as jobs are difficult to come by.
  
  What can I do?

  Well, I work in the construction building materials industry, there's plenty of jobs for Singaporeans to take up in our industry. There's several jobs out there which Singaporeans with ITE, O's or Diploma can take easily get a position in the construction industry.
  
  But, Singaporeans all complain, no air-con, so hot, so dusty, long hours...
  
  I do admit its dusty, but fun mah...
  
  Gollum why not look into my industry?
