I am 23 years old with an O-level certificate. What type of job can I get in Singapore with just an O-level cert?

Hi, Obinwa

I think the previous posters before me have given good advice. Just to add on - have you heard of the ikigai model before? It's a Japanese term which means "life purpose", so I suggest you think of approaching your career from the following areas: what are you passionate about, what you are awesome at, what the world needs and what you can be paid for.

Your O level certificate isn't something cast in stone. once you identify that sweet spot, you can easily sign up for webinars/workshops/courses and hone your ability in the area that you love doing. if you are motivated, you can even pick up skills from YouTube videos. don't limit your self-worth to "just an o level certificate".

in the meantime, maybe keep a record of successful people who work their way up from their o level certificates

( https://sites.google.com/site/myhomeincyberspac... ). i know that Elim Chew, the founder of 77th Street has an O level certificate. I'm sure you will come across more such examples when you start looking.

good luck!

With an O levels cert you can be a CSO (customer service officer), receptionist, security guards, administrative staffs, logistics/warehouse staffing personnels, delivery personnels (not just grabfood etc. but permanent roles with companies like DHL/UPS etc.)

You can also be involved in F&B, sales person in different industries etc.

Most importantly, what do you like/dislike to do and work on it from there.

Doing what you like is more important in my opinion and example if you like IT you could always take a course thereafter and in certain industries, these external courses actually works better than with a degree.

All the best!
