I'm in work. But not everyone is so lucky? The market seems to be awash with people who are out of work especially in my field.

It's "looking for work" banners and emotionally wrought messages galore over on LinkedIn. Desperate people, who are probably really good and are available immediately.

Why then are recruiters constantly at my door, asking me if I want to apply for their roles? Then moaning "its really hard" when I say no?

There are a lot of people out of work, but often it's because the organization where they worked did some kind of realignment. So we can wind up with a scenario like you describe, where lots of people are looking for jobs, and recruiters may be look for people with different experience or training.

There isn’t a lot of rhyme or reason right now. For the people looking for work who are approached by recruiters, it’s 50/50 whether that goes anywhere.

Hi guys 👋🏻
This is regarding the interest amount of our EPF.

For you guys,is the interest details showing any amount in the EPFO member passbook? Or is it showing '0' like me(As seen in the photo below)?

Is the government yet to credit the interest amounts of our PF balances? Or is something wrong with my PF account only?

Any inputs will be really appreciated 🙂
