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.
