The issue of our graduates still being unemployed after months of applying for one. How best do we solve the high unemployment rate among graduates?
***
“So after 1 month since my convocation, 3 months since my last exam in NTU (should be 6 months since I applied for job), I still couldn’t secure a job. I am worried of not being able to get a job by end of this year as the economic is getting worse and worse.
Only went for < 3 interviews so far… Below are the prob I can think of now:
1. My resume sucks. Well, I have edited (don’t know how many times) my resume to make it more professional.
2. Working experience.
2.1 I was working in the lab and helping them in their research project. Nowadays most of research companies are hiring Phd and Science students but not engineering student.
2.2 I did apply for engineering job which is related to my major. I worked as engineering intern when I was a poly student but most of the job I have done was just office job.
3. Academic results. Not even 2nd upper class honours. So this maybe the reason? I’m not expecting my salary will be very high. My expected salary range: $2700/2800 to $3000
I wonder anyone is in the same situation as me? Anyway, all the best for those still looking for a job.”
