What does it mean to have more layoffs coming to the Singapore economy?

Shaun has provided a very comprehensive list of the things you can do to prepare yourself. I will just like to share with you some specific things that I am doing during this enforced circuit breaker:

1) Sign up for Free Fridays by General Assembly

General Assembly offers some useful webinars on data analytics and coding. Good to know how the world is evolving

2) Sign up for financial literacy webinars

Just this week, I will attend webinars by MoneyOwl, StashAway and Endowus. Looking forward to honing my knowledge on investing and financial planning and all that jazz

3) Watch local theatre

With so much negative news these days, it is more important than ever to take care of our mental health. Many local theatre companies have kindly put up online recordings of their acclaimed plays, and I find it very therapeutic to laugh along with the cast members.​​​

Ensure that you continue to upskill yourself and be relevant to the industry that you are in.

Generate demand for your skillsets by networking and standing out and showing value.

Cut out any unnecessary spending and reduce your fixed expenses as much as possible. Save more and ensure liquidity.

Pick up a hobby that you are passionate about.

Read, look and learn from other industries and see if any ideas can be implemented in your industry.

Expose yourself to more career options or side hustles.

Exercise more, eat well and maintain a healthy state of mind.
