Despite applying for close to 50 positions and attending three interviews, Ms June Bee Ling was not able to land a job after being retrenched in June last year.
However, the 48-year-old former helpdesk officer does not think she faced any ageism during her job search.
She told The New Paper: Many of my ex-colleagues feel that they cannot find jobs because of their ages, but there is never any concrete evidence. I feel that companies will want to select only the best out of all the applicants so the high level of competition makes it difficult to find jobs.
Support Provided By We, the Indian people, the traditional caretakers of this landscape, are the direct descendants of the first people who formed our land, our worlds during creation time. We have always been here. Our ancestors prepared and became the landscapes and world for the coming humans with order, knowledge and gifts embedded in the landscape. Our ancestors imbued the responsibility and obligation to our original instructions, guided by protocol and etiquette to be part of, take care of, and ensure the welfare of the extended family and community defined in its most inclusive expression, the NATURE, and to pass those teachings and responsibilities onto our children, grandchildren, and many generations to come. And to all those that live here.

Two years of volunteering at the Community Resource Center in Encinitas helped inspire a business idea by a Canyon Crest Academy student for a school project.
“A bunch of people would come in but they wouldn’t be wearing their masks because they would say that they lost it in the car or they forgot it at home or they just dropped it,” said Wyatt Beal, a junior at CCA. “And that made me really think that if I could solve this problem, that would be a great business plan for my project that I had to come up with, and that’s why I decided to create MOAR.”
