Until I landed one job. Big MNC. IT related (basically nothing to do with with my field of study). starting 3.3k. Good bonus.
You can say maybe I got lucky. Maybe I did. But i feel that sometimes you just need to chance upon on interviewer who just likes you for who you are and the way your present yourself. Or it could be any other thing.
My point is, don't lose hope. It's not gonna be easy (which you already know) but it's still possible.
Just FYI, I am not the only one. I had friends same as me or ever worse GPA than me. All did end up finding jobs (2.8k to 3.2k starting). I also have a colleague who was just like me. NUS EE pass degree. And he excelled so well in his position that he's a year younger than me but earns more than me and has already been promoted.
Point is, don't lose hope. Keep looking. NETWORK! It helps. A lot. And like others have said, try and build your inner confidence. Good luck. |
Thanks. Just wondering did you specifically apply for that IT position yourself or like it just came from other sources (recruiters, agencies, friends, etc) ?
And what did you think was different from that particular interview apart from all the other interviews you have went that got you the job?
