Has anyone been unemployed for a long time before?
How did you deal with it? Any tips for looking for the next job? Did you all make any adjustments to your lifestyle? How did you all feel during this period? I have been jobless since Feb. Been sending job applications since then. Either rejections or no replies. Feeling very desperate at the moment and feeling really sucks as I stay at home everyday. Now looking to give tuition classes to get some cash. Luckily I don't have a family yet else I will be really stressed. Any one here care to share their experience?

How much of a salary increase can you ask for when applying for a new job?
As mentioned in title: 5 years of relevant working experience, all in private education sector. Currently getting pay of $3.1K, plus handphone allowance of $80. Applying for govt-related/public sector jobs, asking for $3.5K. I am willing to negotiate down to $3.3K. Employment agency ask me to lower my salary. Not sure whether can trust or not... think maybe they are in hurry to get commission. I already went for 5 interviews and have received one job offer so far but the renumeration package can't be confirmed... been waiting for 3 weeks liao
