A job applicant shows me she has been working full time and continues to upgrade herself and got a 3rd class honours, i will say good job for juggling work and study.

A job applicant with nothing but an SIM degree is totally unimpressive.
I hope some SIMians (pun intended) have taken note of this very true piece of advice. While working you get paid and may even get promoted. Once you graduate from your part time degree, suddenly you're a degree holder with 3 years of experience. SIM degree + 3 years experience is quite competitive when compared to fresh grads from local universities. There will be companies that gladly take in the one with experience.
