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.
