本地专才失业四月觅职未果! 邱宝忠冀政府检视招聘政策

虽然我国在官方和MyCareersFuture.sg等招聘网站上,有成千上万份就职空缺,但是真实情况却不一定令人乐观,新加坡前进党成员邱宝忠,以一名顶尖大学毕业生James的真实经历为例,促请我国政府重检聘请外国专才政策。

邱宝忠今日(9月14日)在脸书帖文指出,我国拥有很多才华横溢的PMET人才,但如今他们也面对艰难处境,而James就是其中一个例子。

James曾在新加坡国立大学担任高级管理职务,并获得大学荣誉学位,属世界顶尖大学内表现优异的应届毕业生,也肯定有履行国民服役。

“据我估计,他的薪金应在8000元到1万元之间,但可悲的是,他甚至无法获得4至5千元的工作。”

James是其中一名受到疫情影响而失业的人士之一。他在《今日报》分享了他的经历,并且持续面对挑战前进的动力。他于42岁重返校园。James在处理国际市场的公共教育领域工作了18年,曾为四名雇主打拼,以及在国内外从事营销行业。

他于2016年,因家庭关系返回狮城,并于今年初,加入了规模较小的国际公司分行,负责领导这里的团队发展亚洲业务。

然而不巧因疫情影响,雇主于今年5月底解雇了整个新加入的分行团队,包括他在内。

经过四个月觅职,他申请超过80个职位,甚至连以前工作岗位的最初级职务都申请了。然而招聘人员对他说,“世界已经改变了,James,你可以减薪一半吗?”。担任高位的招聘员指出,他比客户所期待的来的“有经验多了”。

他之后听取朋友和伙伴的建议,通过Linkedln和有可能聘请的雇主直接接触,或开拓自己的交流网,也有很多人表示乐意为他做介绍,但是四个月来都没有接获过任何面试交流。

这种种甚至让他觉得离开狮城10年是个错误,因为有不少雇主就因为这样而拉低他的评估。然而他最后决定继续留在本地觅职。

他卖掉自己的屋子,以便能够抚养年届八旬的老父母,并到商业学院报名,攻读工商管理硕士学位。

外国人才职务无人能替代?

对此,邱宝忠感叹,我国并没有优待这些有才华的“资优生”,这也是我国应该探讨的部分。 “虽然我国有创造就业机会的动力,但是我们必须自问,要创造什么类型的工作?薪水是否和经验及资历匹配?市场上有这样的工作吗?谁在这些领域内?”

邱宝忠认为,应该重新检核更新就业准证(EP)以及鼓励企业聘请本地人,甚至质疑为何持有工作准证者能在我国“长存”,却没有让本地人替代有关的职位。“难道持工作准证者的工作真的这么复杂,连本地人都无法取代吗?”

他表示,当然,如果外籍人才处于关键位置且具备独特技能,我们应该保留他们,否则将会为我国经济带来损失。“因此,政府更应该努力确定哪些就业准证(EP)持有者应该留下,哪些应该离开我们的就业市场。”

邱宝忠指出,凡事都有一线生机,他也希望自这篇帖文广为流传后,James或许就会获得一份本地工作,并且再次成为新闻。

他指出,我们应该善用社交媒体,让我们的声音被听到,甚至以社交媒体的力量去影响政策。
