Feeling depressed, disappointed and anxious about my future after getting all rejections email
Hi folks,
Male, mid 30s, currently working in Singapore (not Singaporean). My TC quites decent here...$250k. but I'm looking for other countries that I can immigrants and settle down in the long term. Australia and Canada are top of my list.
I have 7+ years in IC, 2+ years in EM role and now trying to switch back to IC role again.
In the last 2 months, I've been applied to 30+ companies via LinkedIn, all rejected after review my CV.
I don't even have a chance to get a phone screen.
I'm not sure whether it's because my skills were outdated or just because immigrant restrictions due to COVID?
I felt bad... disappointed and more over, I feel uncertainty about the future. I have kids, I'm not too young anymore. If I cannot make it before 35, I think I'm done.
If you're still reading, thanks for your time to listen to my story. I definitely will try more, and keep the light of hope.
Best,

What does this even mean with regards to you wanting to leave?
Are you saying you:
Do not have family members in Singapore i.e. your parents, siblings and cousins and everyone else are not here?
Do not have a spouse to start a family?
Your post initially was a whiny session about not being able to get hired for another role after multiple rejections. Could it be that what you are asking for is not within their budget? Or, your skillset is not relevant enough for market forces to meet the demanded salary expectations?
I’m been there. Over the last few years learnt a lot about CV writing and job interview’s, so I can offer my help in reviewing your CV if that’s something that would help to get more callbacks.
