Yes, PRs have it easier on the job market than other foreigners, because they have largely similar access and conditions as locals. But you still need marketable skills and experience, convincing applications - and also a bit of luck.

Also depends on the domain you operate in and seniority of the roles you are seeking.

Overall IT is going through a turbulent time with a number of layoffs but being PR is great. If you don’t get the desires role, i suggest you explore government’s skill development programs that are in partnership with firms. Those are great ways of entering in the job market again.

One of my colleague moved from Marine Engineering to Cybersecurity via one such program.

Best of luck. I am sure things will improve for you.
