I have this inferiority complex about my grades but i'll try to go for interviews next semester once my fyp has settled down.
I guess most companies local or overseas will shun this kind of resume?
Any advise would be appreciated, thanks. |
Similar to you, I have a pass degree from
NTU mechanical engineering 10 years your senior.
My advice to you are;
1) Create a proper and comprehensive resume (source from friends or internet for a good template) and include all beneficial bits. Any academic and non-academic achievement, CCA achievement, community services etc
2) Lower your expectation. Expand your search bar.
3) Source from connection for job opportunities from senior friends, relatives, internship mentor etc
4) Send out resume to all potential job opportunities including SME which competition is less stiff
5) During interview, be confident and be prepared to answer for your low GPA. Be truth and not too exaggerated.
6) Relax and don't be overstress
